The 2024 NCAA Tournament has reached the Sweet 16 and it's been a somewhat chalky year by March Madness standards. No. 11 seed North Carolina State is the only team that made the second weekend of the NCAA Tournament 2024 seeded higher than sixth, but there could be more twists and turns over the last two weekends of the season. Who comes out on top in their regions and what can you expect at the Final Four in Phoenix?

Before making any college basketball bets or filling out a 2024 NCAA Tournament Sweet 16 second-chance bracket, be sure to see what red-hot college basketball handicapper Thomas Casale has to say. 

A frequent guest on national radio and TV shows to discuss college sports, Casale started playing football sheets at 8 years old when his dad was the local bookie. He's been betting -- and winning -- for more than 30 years. Over the last three college basketball seasons (through Jan. 31, 2024), Thomas is 305-179-7 (63%). He also is on a 22-4-1 roll with his last 27 against-the-spread picks, for a profit of $1,743 for $100 bettors.

We can tell you that Casale is taking No. 3 seed Creighton to upset No. 2 Tennessee in the Midwest Region. These are two experienced and dynamic squads that have had Final Four aspirations all season. Oddsmakers list Tennessee as a 3-point favorite, but Casale likes the Bluejays because of their perimeter shooting. "Tennessee is the better overall team on paper, but I think Creighton will once again find a way to win a tight game and advance," he told SportsLine.

Now, he's studied the college basketball lines for the Sweet 16 and revealed his NCAA tournament bracket picks for the rest of March Madness, including a No. 1 seed going down in the Elite Eight. You ABSOLUTELY need to see them before making any college basketball picks.
