NCAA March Madness betting has a magical ability to thrust players into the public eye when they do something spectacular. Whether they become NBA stars or not, their names live on in March Madness betting history. Let’s look at some of the most memorable performances of the last three decades in March Madness betting.March 4, 1989 – LSU’s Chris Jackson dropped 55 points on Ole Miss….and his team lost. The reason: Ole Miss’ Gerald Glass answered with 53 points of his own as Ole Miss edged LSU 113-112 in overtime. What March Madness betting fan could’ve predicted that result?
March 19, 1992 – Shaq needs no introduction. His 26 points and 13 boards against BYU were impressive enough, but what really made the headlines were his unbelievable 11 blocks – a March Madness betting record.
March 12, 1995 – How’s this for heart? Randolph Childress carried Wake Forest on his back with 37 points, including nine three-balls. He also scored all nine of Wake Forest’s overtime points and topped it off with a buzzer beater. Did we mention he did it with a dislocated finger on his shooting hand?
March 18, 2004 – After Syracuse won the national title the year before, Gerry McNamara helped Syracuse start the first round against BYU in style, draining nine treys in 13 attempts. Yep, he was on fire.
