It's time for the second night of Elite Eight games!
Today's games will be a little earlier than the last three nights. Make sure to plan accordingly! The first matchup begins at 2:20 pm ET between Tennessee and Purdue.
That game will be followed by NC State and Duke. The two winners will head to the Final Four!
Let's add some player props to our betting portfolio for these two games.
March 31 Best NCAAB Player Props
Jared McCain (Duke) Over 4.5 Rebounds (-158) Click here to see which sportsbook has the best odds
The Duke freshman is third on the team in scoring. But he's also added five rebounds per game.
His prop for this game against NC State is only at 4.5, despite hitting this line in eight of his last ten games.
One of those games was that ACC Tournament matchup against NC State, where McCain only hauled in three rebounds in 34 minutes. However, he had an earlier game against the Wolfpack, where he added five rebounds.
Anyway, in the NCAA Tournament, he's had three consecutive games with at least five rebounds in the NCAA Tournament. He also brought down six rebounds against Houston after playing a full 40 minutes.
Expect McCain to play another 40 minutes in this one. He's a sneaky good rebounder and typically crashes the glass on shots from the perimeter.
Dalton Knecht (Tennessee) Over 21.5 Points (-129) Click here to see which sportsbook has the best odds
The SEC Player of the Year will need to shine in tonight's game against Purdue. He's only shot 38.9% from the field in the three NCAA Tournament games, but he's still managed to score 22.3 points per game, thanks to a high amount of foul shots over the last two games.
Tennessee won't have many easy looks around the rim, with Zach Edey protecting the paint. Therefore, the Volunteers will try and take a lot of three-point shots and other shots away from the paint.
Knecht has attempted at least seven threes in each game in the NCAA Tournament, and that won't change against Purdue.
Trey Kaufman-Renn (Purdue) Over 3.5 Rebounds (+120) Click here to see which sportsbook has the best odds
Trey Kaufman-Renn wasn't much of a factor for Purdue on Friday. He played just 15 minutes and scored six points with one rebound.
However, in the previous two games in the NCAA Tournament, Kaufman-Renn played at least 23 minutes in each game and hauled in at least seven rebounds.
While it's unclear how many minutes Kaufman-Renn will play, Kaufman-Renn has still averaged 4.1 rebounds per game this season. In the NCAA Tournament, he's added 5.3 rebounds per game. At plus money, I'm willing to take a chance here.
