2011 NCAA Tournament Game Odds
March Madness is officially here and betED.com has every game covered, from the opening round this week to the Final Four and the NCAA National Championship in Houston.
One of the early games Thursday has the No. 10 seed Penn State Nittany Lions and the 7th seed Temple Owls squaring off in a West Region matchup at the McKale Center in Tucson (2:10 pm ET, TNT).
NCAAB Odds at betED.com have the Owls as a -145 moneyline, 2.5-point favorite with the over/under total at 121.5.
