Listen to Clay Travis explain why Virginia’s historically humiliating blowout loss to sixteenth seeded UMBC in the first round of the NCAA Tournament last season shouldn’t remotely affect the way you bet the second ranked Cavaliers going into day one of the tournament Thursday.
IN CASE YOU DIDN’T ALREADY KNOW, UVA became the first no. 1 seed in college basketball history to get knocked out by a #16, which added to Tony Bennett’s reputation of heavily underwhelming duds in the big tourney as high seeds while coach at Virginia.
But should past shortcomings really scare you away from betting on the 29-3 Cavaliers to win it all THIS YEAR?
Check out the audio below as Clay actually believes UVA is a good futures bet and that if they simply had ‘DUKE’ written on their jerseys they’d be much bigger favorites because of unfai bias alone.
