The 2012 NCAA Tournament spreads were available at BetDSI.com here. Thursday’s spread appear below. We also have some of the trending.

Over 75 percent of those betting the Loyola Maryland-Ohio State game were backing the Buckeyes 17.5 point spread.

Murray State, with only one loss on the season, continues to be the most wagered on team in this year’s first round of the NCAA Tournament. They were getting between 85 percent to 90 percent of the betting action as a 1.5 point favorite. The bookies will certainly be routing for Colorado State here.

80 percent of the spread action on the Montana-Wisconsin was going Montana’s way.

Teams getting 75 percent or better of the spread action in Friday’s games included Duke, Creighton, North Carolina State, Florida State, Cincinnati, Missouri and Florida.
