No. 3-seeded Purdue narrowly missed pulling off an upset against No. 1 Virginia on Saturday. The Boilermakers entered the game as a 4.5 point underdog, yet led by 10 midway through the first half. But a last second jumper by the Cavalier’s Mamadi Diakite tied the game 70-70 at the end of regulation, and then Boilermakers then saw their NCAA tournament run end with an 80-75 overtime loss.
Purdue’s players might remember this loss for a long time, but some bettors who picked Purdue only carried that losing feeling for one day. New Jersey sports betting app PointsBet issued a full credit refund on Sunday to everyone who had bet on Purdue on both the moneyline and point spread.
