The 2025 NCAA Men's March Madness tournament continues this Saturday with the highly anticipated round of 32. As thrilling matchups unfold, bettors have a wealth of opportunities to capitalize on. Here’s a breakdown of the key games and expert insights to guide your wagers.

Key Matchups:

1. No. 2 St. John's vs. No. 10 Arkansas (2:40 p.m. ET)

• Bet: Over 143.5
• Analysis: St. John's has been on fire from beyond the arc in recent games, shooting 21-for-51 in their last two outings. Meanwhile, Arkansas welcomes back Boogie Fland, their second-leading scorer, who missed 15 games. With both teams playing at a fast pace, expect a high-scoring affair.

2. No. 3 Texas Tech vs. No. 14 Drake (6:10 p.m. ET)

• Bet: Drake +6.5
• Analysis: Drake’s deliberate tempo could frustrate Texas Tech, especially if Chance McMillian is not at full strength. Drake’s Bennett Stirtz, an all-around standout, will be crucial in keeping this game close.

3. No. 1 Houston vs. No. 8 Gonzaga (8:40 p.m. ET)

• Bet: Under 139.5
• Analysis: Gonzaga’s 3-point shooting drops significantly away from home, and Houston’s stifling defense, which allows the fewest points per game, will look to capitalize. Expect a defensive struggle.

4. No. 2 Tennessee vs. No. 7 UCLA (9:40 p.m. ET)

• Bet: Under 132.5
• Analysis: Both teams excel defensively and play at a snail’s pace. UCLA’s scoring dips on the road, and Tennessee’s defense is elite, especially in limiting 3-point shooting.

Additional Insights:

• Alabama vs. Saint Mary's (Sunday): Alabama’s fast pace could be neutralized by Saint Mary’s methodical approach. Keep an eye on Alabama’s Mark Sears, who has been streaky from beyond the arc.
• Maryland vs. Colorado State (Sunday): Maryland’s balanced attack could be the difference against a hot Colorado State team. The Terrapins’ starting five should be able to handle Colorado State’s slower tempo.
