After some incredible games on Thursday’s college basketball betting schedule, the March Madness Sweet 16 continues on Friday with another four games—including two of the remaining No. 1 seeds.

No. 1 Kansas vs. No. 12 Richmond. Kansas (34-2, 17-16-1 ATS) has cruised to 10 consecutive wins, including back-to-back victories by double digits in the NCAA Tournament. The Jayhawks have been awful against the spread, though, going 2-5-1 ATS in that span. Richmond (29-7, 22-10-1 ATS) has won nine straight games. The Spiders upset Vanderbilt in the first round before coasting past No. 13 Morehead State in the second round. The Spiders are enjoying a 9-0 run against the spread.

No. 2 North Carolina vs. No. 11 Marquette. The Tar Heels (28-7, 15-16-1 ATS) are enjoying a 12-1 run, though they haven’t really been tested during March Madness yet. That’s a bad sign for spread bettors, as UNC is 0-4-1 ATS in its last five games. Marquette (22-14, 18-12 ATS) has won four of five, including upsets over No. 6 Xavier and No. 3 Syracuse in the tournament’s opening rounds. The Golden Eagles are 4-1 in their last five games against the spread.

No. 10 Florida State vs. No. 11 VCU. Florida State (23-10, 16-10-2 ATS) has used rough-and-tumble defense to keep its first two opponents—Texas A&M and Notre Dame—to just 50 and 57 points, respectively. Tough “D” is a big reason the Seminoles have covered their last five games. VCU (26-11, 16-20 ATS) has won three consecutive elimination games, covering all of them. The Rams started with a “First Four” victory over USC to gain the 11-seed, and followed that up with wins over No. 6 Georgetown and No. 3 Purdue.

No. 1 Ohio State vs. No. 4 Kentucky. Ohio State (34-2, 18-15 ATS) has won nine straight games, including a 3-0 run against the spread. The Buckeyes have absolutely obliterated the competition so far, winning by an average of 30.5 points in their first two tourney games, but the highest seed they faced was No. 8 George Mason. Kentucky (27-8, 15-14-1 ATS) is 8-0 in its last eight games and has covered five of its past six outings. After squeaking past Princeton in the first round, the Wildcats looked a little sharper against West Virginia in the second round.

For NCAA tournament odds and all the March Madness betting information you could ask for, there's only one place to go.
