March Madness Best Bets for Friday: Big East Semifinals, SEC Quarterfinals

Friday is another full day of college basketball conference tournament games from noon until well after midnight on the East Coast. The stakes are higher for some teams than others at this stage of the season and the St. John's Red Storm and Texas A&M Aggies both fall into that category as both programs are on the bubble with tough challenges ahead.

St. John's is a heavy underdog to the UConn Huskies this evening in the Big East semis and Texas A&M is getting points against the Kentucky Wildcats in the SEC quarters. Will a win Friday be enough to earn a spot in the field of 68? Or do the Red Storm and Aggies have to go all the way in their respective conferences to punch their tickets?
