The biggest game of the 2023-24 men's college basketball season fits one of the best betting trends in PRO.
Monday's UConn vs. Purdue national championship spread matches a situational betting angle that has predicted which team will cover at a 57% clip lifetime. It accounts for spread range, previous game results and more.
UConn and Purdue have not only stayed alive through the NCAA Tournament, they're both perfect against the spread entering the highly anticipated April 8 clash at State Farm Stadium.
