Spreads certainly get most of the attention when the odds are released for Thursday and Fridayβs games of the menβs basketball tournament. But what about a historic total?
No. 13 Charleston vs. No. 4 Alabama opened with a total of 168.5, which was the highest on the board for any tournament game. Since then, it has shot all the way up to 173.5 π.
If it were to close at 173 or higher, Charleston-Alabama would have the highest total of any menβs basketball tournament game since 1995, per Action Network.
