Mid-Major Bubble Watch: Wichita State Shockers (22-7)

The Wichita State Shockers (22-7) are one of the several bubble teams from the American Conference (AAC) that hope they secured enough big wins to impress the March Madness selection committee.

One Bet, $100: Rory McIlroy is Ready to Win

Three times this year, Rory McIlroy has been the favorite going into a tournament, and come up short. It might make some skittish on betting on the world’s No. 1 ranked golfer. Not me, however. I have a feeling the Arnold Palmer Invitational is where the Irishman gets his first […]
