Florida is the second favorite to win the title at +275 at the BetMGM online sportsbook, while Houston is +400 and Auburn is +525.

Florida will take on Auburn in the first semifinal, followed by Duke and Houston. At BetMGM, Florida has opened as a 2.5-point favorite. Duke is a 4.5-point favorite.

The men's tournament has favored the favorites. In the Sweet 16 and Elite Eight, the favorites went 12-0 straight up.

While Houston was the favorite against Tennessee, the Cougars did not get much action at BetMGM. As a 2.5-point favorite, only 40% of the bets and 34% of the money was on Houston. They easily covered, winning 69-50.

It was a similar story in the Duke-Alabama matchup on Saturday night. The Blue Devils did not see much action as 7.5-point favorites, taking in only 37% of the bets. Like Houston, Duke easily covered the spread, winning 85-65.

Aaron Judge (+210) was the most bet player to hit a home run on Sunday. After hitting three homers on Saturday, Judge hit another on Sunday to cash that bet.

The biggest upset in the NBA on Sunday was the Atlanta Hawks taking down the Milwaukee Bucks 145-124. Atlanta was a 4.5-point underdog and took in only 29% of the bets and 36% of the money.

Min Woo Lee picked up his first career PGA Tour win at the Houston Open. He finished at 20-under, one shot better than Gary Woodland and Scottie Scheffler. Lee was +3300 in pre-tournament betting and took in 4.7% of the bets and 3.9% of the money.

The NHL is nearing the end of its regular season, and a bunch of teams are still in the mix to win the Stanley Cup.

When it comes to Stanley Cup odds, seven teams are +1000 or shorter – the Florida Panthers (+575), Dallas Stars (+600), Colorado Avalanche (+750), Edmonton Oilers (+800), Carolina Hurricanes (+1000), Vegas Golden Knights (+1000) and Washington Capitals (+1000).

Inter and Milan draw 1-1 in first leg of Italian Cup semifinals

2025-04-03 05:29 Last Updated At:05:31

MILAN (AP) — Inter Milan’s chances of a treble remain alive, as do AC Milan’s hopes of sneaking into Europe after the city rivals drew 1-1 in the first leg of their Italian Cup semifinal on Wednesday.

Hakan Çalhanoğlu thumped in the equalizer against his former club in the 67th minute after Milan forward Tammy Abraham had netted the opener less than two minutes into the second half.

Bologna beat Empoli 3-0 on Tuesday in the other semifinal. The return legs are scheduled for April 23-24.

Inter is on the hunt to repeat a treble haul of trophies it achieved in 2010 under Jose Mourinho. It has a three-point advantage over second-placed Napoli in Serie A — where it is the defending champion — and visits Bayern Munich on Tuesday in the first leg of their Champions League quarterfinal.

Milan has struggled of late and just two wins in its past six league matches has seen it slip to ninth in Serie A. Winning the Italian Cup guarantees a Europa League spot.

However, the Rossoneri took the lead right at the start of the second half. Inter midfielder Davide Frattesi tried to challenge Youssouf Fofana on the edge of the area but the ball came through to Abraham, who lived up to his reputation as a big game goalscorer with an angled strike into the bottom left corner.

But Çalhanoğlu levelled 20 minutes later with a powerful 20-yard effort that squirmed under Milan goalkeeper Mike Maignan.
