What Are the Payout Odds if UC San Diego Tritons Beat Michigan in Tournament?
Should the UC San Diego Tritons go on to beat Michigan in this year's NCAA Men's College Basketball Tournament, the payout would be approximately $120 to $146 for every $100 bet. Nothing crazy even if UC San Diego upsetting the Wolverines would make them an instant Cinderella. The spread was coming in at between 2.5 and -3 favoring Michigan.
UC San Diego vs. Michigan
UC San Diego will play the Big Ten Tournament champion Michigan Wolverines in their first-ever appearance in the NCAA Division I men's basketball tournament, while San Diego State was one of the last four teams to make the Big Dance.
UC San Diego doesn’t have anyone in its rotation taller than 6-foot-8, so Michigan has a massive height advantage with two seven footers on their squad.
The Tritons (30-4) earned its place in the big dance as The Big West's automatic qualifier after defeating UC Irvine 75-61 in The Big West Championship title game, Saturday night at Lee's Family Forum in Henderson, Nev. Michigan (25-9) is also an automatic qualifier after winning the Big Ten Tournament with a 59-53 win over Wisconsin as the third seed.
Michigan guard Tre Donaldson delivered his second clutch play in two days, this time making the go-ahead 3-pointer with 1:54 left to send No. 22 Michigan past No. 18 Wisconsin 59-53 for the Big Ten Tournament title Sunday.
Donaldson scored 11 points and had eight assists one day after catching an inbound pass on the run with 5.3 seconds left and driving the length of the floor for the winning layup in a semifinal victory over Maryland, rekindling images from past NCAA Tournaments.
Now, Donaldson and his teammates want to stay focused on the future and keep this momentum for three more weeks.
“I know who I am, I knew who my team is,” Donaldson said after also recording eight assists. “It was just the desire to win. I want to win. It’s just me bringing that energy; I feel that was a big thing. I brought the energy.”
This will be the first-ever meeting between Michigan and UC San Diego in men's basketball.
While still early, this game saw the most betting action of any in the tournament early on during the late night hours on Sunday.
