Did you see how USC covered against Baylor? It caused a decent swing in Vegas money
From the Las Vegas Review Journal: Kunovic said all the money at Caesars/Harrah’s/Rio was on the Trojans, who closed as 5-point underdogs after the line opened at 7½. USC trailed by six with five seconds left following a pair of free throws by Baylor, and many bettors needed an otherwise meaningless basket for the cover. De’Anthony Melton missed a 3-pointer off the front of the rim with three seconds left, but the ball bounced to Chimezie Metu, who put back a one-handed shot at the buzzer that clanged off the front of the rim before dropping through the hoop. “That was a very costly basket. That was a six-figure swing,” Kunovic said. “That little putback was pointless for the game but not pointless for Las Vegas.”
