Notre Dame was by far the most bet on team early on with more than 95 percent of the action. The Fighting Irish were a -2 favorite vs. Old Dominion.
Texas A&M was also getting plenty of early betting action. Their 2010 NCAA Basketball Tournament odds opened at -3 and that is where the line remained against Utah State heading into Tuesday morning.
Xavier Henry scored 11 points in a stunning 21-2 run that broke a tight game wide open and carried No. 1 Kansas past No. 23 Texas A&M 79-66 in a rough-and-tumble Big 12 semifinal Friday night.
Texas A&M (23-9) led by as many as nine points early in the second half while the regular-season Big 12 champion Jayhawks (31-2) fouled and fumbled and committed turnover after turnover. But the Aggies, who outplayed Kansas throughout the first half, ran into a sudden field goal drought that lasted more than 8 minutes and Kansas suddenly could hardly miss.
A&M has excellent guard play and has the athletic advantage over Utah State, but the WAC's Aggies will counter with one of the best shooting teams in the country, according to Fox Sports. Texas A&M was getting just shy of 95 percent of the betting action in this game.
Richmond was another heavily bet on team, getting around 75 percent of the action with odds of -2 vs. Saint Mary's.
Fox Sports points out that this season, the Spiders have earned a much more favorable seeding by beating the likes of Temple, Missouri, Florida and Old Dominion during the regular season and could be primed to win a game or two in the Big Dance. Richmond sports one of the best starting guard tandems in the Atlantic 10 in Kevin Anderson and David Gonzalvez.
Other heavily bet on teams included Tennessee, Winthrop and Marquette along with UTEP.
