South Carolina and Iowa State are top spread teams in NCAA Tournament

There are two teams above the rest when it comes to covering the spread this year. It's South Carolina and Iowa State, who have both covered the spread at a rate of 69.7% this season.

The Cyclones enter the tournament as a No. 2 seed in the East Region after running the table in the Big 12 Tournament and beating Houston for the second time this season in the conference championship game. Iowa State is set as a 16-point favorite to No. 15 South Dakota State in the Round of 64.

Meanwhile, South Carolina has flown under the radar this season. The Gamecocks finished with an impressive 26-7 overall record with a 13-5 record in the SEC before eventually falling to Auburn in the SEC Tournament. They have impressive wins over the likes of Kentucky, Tennessee, and Mississippi State.

They're set as a very slight favorite against No. 11 Oregon in the Round of 64.

Texas is the worst spread team in NCAA Tournament

The Texas Longhorns have a ton of talent, but they failed to live up to expectations this season and went just 12-20 against the spread, covering at a rate of 37.5%. The Longhorns went just 9-9 in Big 12 play, but they have strong wins against the likes of Oklahoma, Baylor, TCU, and Texas Tech.

Despite their poor record against the spread, the Longhorns are 2.5-point favorites to Colorado State on Thursday.
