COLLEGE BASKETBALL BAD BEATS BLOG: Cal caps day of upsets

Updated March 10, 2021 - 10:24 pm

College basketball’s signature month has arrived, and Las Vegas is in the middle of it.

Conference tournaments are being played across the country, including four in Las Vegas. The winners receive automatic bids to the NCAA Tournament, whose field will be released Sunday.

Wednesday brings the start of the Mountain West tournament at the Thomas & Mack Center and the Pac-12 tournament at T-Mobile Arena. The Big West tournament started Tuesday (and is off today) at Michelob Ultra Arena in Mandalay Bay. The Western Athletic Conference tournament starts Thursday at Orleans Arena.

In all, 33 games are being played in 13 conferences Wednesday.

We’ll be following the action from all the conference tournament games. Refresh this blog throughout the day to track bad beats, movement on the live betting line, halftime bets and much more.
