Seton Hall hit a wild buzzer beater to cover the spread against Kansas

Bad beat for Jayhawks backers.

Seton Hall didn’t beat Kansas, but that doesn’t mean that there wasn’t at least a hollow victory to be had amidst the action. Take this three-pointer for instance. Not significant as far as the game’s outcome ... unless you had money riding on it.

If you put money down on the point spread, then the margin of victory was of particular interest. Kansas was a 4.5-point favorite, and with one late three-pointer, the Pirates covered the spread by losing the game by only four points.

The Jayhawks had been pretty reliable against the spread before this. Per Oddshark.com, KU was 9-1 in their last 10 and 4-1 in their last five against the number. It was a pretty safe bet to back Kansas, but these are the perils of sports betting when the players are 18-22 years old.

But if you’re a betting person, keep taking your chances and you may be rewarded with a massive take if a miracle can happen.
