LAS VEGAS -- More money was bet on Michigan State to win the NCAA tournament than any other team at multiple sports books. That money will be staying in-house.
Middle Tennessee, a 16½-point underdog, knocked off the Spartans 90-81 Friday in St. Louis. The Blue Raiders were 20-1 to win the game straight and became the seventh No. 15 seed to beat a No. 2 seed.
William Hill's Nevada sportsbook 78 money-line bets on Middle Tennessee, the largest a $265 wager that netted $5,300. A disappointed Spartans' bettor risked $150 on the money-line at -7,000 odds.
