Texas does not currently regulate sports betting in the state. There are still plenty of ways to bet the TCU vs. Duke game, including with internationally-licensed websites like BetUS, prediction markets, daily fantasy sports platforms and even local bookies.
TCU vs. Duke Betting Preview
TCU just barely squeaked by Ohio State on Thursday to advance to the second round of the NCAA Men's College Basketball Championship.
David Punch delivered a textbook entry pass to Xavier Edmonds, who converted a layup to beat the shot clock with 4.3 seconds left as No. 9 seed TCU held off a furious second-half rally by eighth-seeded Ohio State for a 66-64 victory to open the first round of the NCAA Tournament.
Micah Robinson made four 3-pointers and scored 18 points to lead TCU, Edmonds scored 16 and Punch had 16 points and 13 rebounds. The Horned Frogs (23-11) will play Saturday against Duke, the No. 1 overall seed in the tournament, which survived an upset scare from Siena.
“I felt like it kind of put a little more pressure on us, but at the same time, I know his words were just a little bit misconstrued and a little twisted,” Edmonds said of Punch's comments. “That’s not 100 percent how he meant it. Still we seen it, and we felt like we had to stand on it. So we wanted to go out there and make sure we won nine out of 10 times.”
Duke, meanwhile, managed a win over Siena in order to advance. That victory, as already noted, was a little too close for comfort however as the Blue Devils only won by 6 points. Consider that most books had the line here at Duke -29.5.
“A tournament’s all about your competitive readiness, and Siena had that as well as any team we’ve gone against,” Duke coach Jon Scheyer said. “We anticipated them trying to really do things to keep us out of the paint, and they executed great. The moments we made runs, they didn’t flinch.”
Cameron Boozer had 22 points and 13 rebounds for the East Region's headliner, which hit its first four shots yet needed a comeback against a fearless upstart playing just five players right up to the final seconds.
