Most notably, March Madness is when NCAAB picks and parlays, betting news, and odds take over. NCAA basketball news will report on the transfer portal, the recruitment process, and on any star players who will dominate and become NBA players in the future. College basketball may only be officially played from October to April, but the news cycle is a 24/7/365 thing.
A key player gets hurt? The lines will move. NCAA point spreads, for example, are influenced by the latest goings-on in college basketball.
