NFL Adam, who is hanging out in Vegas this weekend rather than covering the Mid-Majors for you at the FanHouse, brings this juicy, insider tidbit.Looks like a lot of locals were betting against the Rebels. Adam tells me that despite UNLV getting a first-round 67-63 win over a scary No. 10 Georgia Tech, most people left upset (and probably with lighter pockets) after the home team got the win. Didn't realize that the Yellow Jackets were that clear of a bet. Or maybe Las Vegas residents are still pissed at Tark for the trouble the Rebels were in way back.
Michael Umeh and Wendell White both had 19 for the Runnin' Rebels, who won their first tourney game in 16 years. Anthony Morrow had 11 for the Jackets.
If Texas A&M CC pulls the huge upset over Wisconsin, also in the Midwest, you can bet that sports gamblers will be putting their money on UNLV to go to the Sweet 16.
