There are even more college basketball betting opportunities than usual this year, as March Madness features a whopping four play-in games. This year’s 68-team tournament is the biggest yet, and the opening round gets started Tuesday; here is your March Madness play-in games preview.

UNC Asheville vs. Arkansas-Little Rock (Tuesday)

Asheville (19-13, 3-1 ATS) is one of the hottest teams in the country heading into the tournament. The Bulldogs are riding a six-game winning streak, including a 60-47 romp over Coastal Carolina to claim the Big South Championship. Asheville has covered three straight. Arkansas-Little Rock (19-16, 17-16 ATS) is also peaking at the right time, winning — and covering — four straight games to claim the Sun Belt Championship.

UAB vs. Clemson (Tuesday)

UAB (22-8, 17-11-1 ATS) was upset by East Carolina in the Conference USA Tournament, but the Blazers are still enjoying a 7-2 run. They’d covered three straight before losing last week. Clemson (21-11, 13-13-2 ATS) was bounced from the ACC tourney by North Carolina. There’s no shame in that, and the Tigers are 3-0-1 ATS in their past four games.

Texas-San Antonio vs. Alabama State (Wednesday)

Texas-San Antonio (19-13, 1-1 ATS) extended its winning streak by cruising through the Southland Conference tournament. The Roadrunners earned a championship and have now won five straight games, though they haven’t been tested much this season. Alabama State (17-17, 4-1 ATS) earned a spot in March Madness after knocking off Grambling in the SWAC Championship. After a brutal first half of the season, the Hornets have gone 11-1 in their last 12 games.

USC vs. VCU (Wednesday)

Southern California (19-14, 15-13-4 ATS) picked up the pace towards the end of the season, going 6-2 over its last eight games. The Trojans were just as effective against the spread, covering six of their past eight games. VCU (23-11, 13-20 ATS) lost to Old Dominion in the Colonial Athletic Tournament. The Rams have the least momentum of any play-in team, as they’re just 3-5 in their past eight games—including 2-6 against the spread.
