*Geoff Burke-Imagn ImagesWhile we aren’t seeing the massive double-digit point spreads that dominated the opening weekend, the two No. 1 seeds taking the floor on Sunday are still commanding plenty of respect from the sportsbooks. Michigan enters the afternoon tilt as a solid 7.5-point favorite against a red-hot Tennessee squad, backed by a significant home-region advantage in Chicago.
In the evening window, Duke is laying 5.5 points against a UConn program that has owned the NCAA Tournament over the last few years, winning two of the last three championships. The oddsmakers clearly believe the top-tier talent of these No. 1 seeds will win out, putting the pressure squarely on the underdogs to execute flawlessly if they want to pull off the upsets.

No.1 seed Michigan kicks off Sunday’s action with a massive test against the surging 6-seed Tennessee Volunteers at the United Center. Laying 7.5 points, the Wolverines will look to lean on Big Ten Player of the Year Yaxel Lendeborg and their elite, physical frontcourt. They just hung 90 points on Alabama in the Sweet 16, but they will need to brace for a much more rugged, defensive-minded battle against a Rick Barnes-coached Tennessee squad that dominates the offensive glass.
If Michigan can control the paint and dictate the tempo, they are in a great spot to punch their ticket to Indianapolis in front of a heavily pro-Wolverine crowd. Meanwhile, Tennessee will need standout performances from surefire NBA Lottery pick, Nate Ament, and Ja’Kobi Gillespie, if they have a shot to upset the heavy favorite.

In the late window out in D.C., it’s a clash of college hoops royalty as the No. 1 overall seed Duke Blue Devils face off against the 2-seed UConn Huskies. Duke is favored by 5.5 points and riding high after surviving a massive Sweet 16 scare against St. John’s. A game they may not have survived without the return of point guard Caleb Foster and the continued dominance of freshman sensation Cameron Boozer.
The Blue Devils’ top-ranked defense will be tested by Dan Hurley’s complex offensive motion, led by an athletic backcourt, veteran sharpshooter Alex Karaban, and glass cleaner Tarris Reed Jr. This East Regional Final promises to be an absolute slugfest, giving Duke a chance to once again prove their championship mettle against a program that has won two of the last three national titles.
