Wake is obviously the best bet on the board, if you’re looking for a longshot. Their freshmen are all studs and should be peaking in March.

Vegas obviously preys on Kentucky’s rabid, sometimes blind fanbase. There are people in the state who think they will win the National Title regardless of the product actually being put on the court.

UConn at +1400 is pretty intriguing as well.

If Hansbrough’s shin stays ‘reacted’ for a longer period of time than expected, this could be very interesting.

Hypothetically, of course, no kidding on UCLA. I’m still not sure how they’re going to replace Love, but in 06 and 07 the Bruins didn’t have him and still made the F4 anyway. With the right matchup, they could definitely win it all this year.

This comes with the caveat that I speak hypothetically because sports gambling would be a gigantic conflict of interest given what I do now and my prior involvement with several collegiate programs…

But Wake +8000? Geez. That would definitely be worth a flier.

UCLA is undervalued too. Howland still doesn’t get the credit he deserves (likely because he’s a West Coast coach). His teams are generally painful to watch given their style of play, but they are always built well to make a run in the NCAA Tournament.
