Championship Odds
North Carolina (7:2)
North Carolina is not a dominant team right now, but their talent alone makes them a worthy co-favorite.
Louisville (7:2)
Louisville got a big scare from Siena and you can be sure they won‘t be taking Arizona for granted on Friday.
Pittsburgh (11:2)
Pittsburgh needs to get back to their defensive style of basketball or they won’t get by Xavier this Thursday.
Connecticut (6:1)
UConn has played great in the tournament so far, and they can win the national title with or without Jerome Dyson.
Memphis (6:1)
Memphis almost went down to #16 Cal Northridge in Round 1, but this second seed has the same odds as top seed Connecticut.
Duke (15:1)
There is a big drop-off in odds after the first five teams, and Duke’s odds would probably be longer if wasn’t for their illustrious history.
Oklahoma (15:1)
Blake Griffin has stepped up big-time in the tournament, but does he have enough help to win the whole thing?
Syracuse (15:1)
Syracuse has picked up where they left off in the Big East tournament, and no one wants to face this team right now.
Gonzaga (18:1)
These odds seem optimistic given they play North Carolina next, but Gonzaga has the talent to give the Tar Heels a run.
Michigan State (20:1)
The Big Ten is down to two teams but the Spartans showed some conference pride by fending off a tough USC Trojans team.
Villanova (20:1)
Nova has a tough road to the Final Four with Duke next, followed by a possible meeting with Connecticut. Don’t discount their chances though.
Kansas (25:1)
The Jayhawks were a team a lot of people predicted to be upset already, but the defending champs aren’t going quietly.
Missouri (30:1)
One of three Big 12 teams remaining, Missouri has the up-down-style that does well during tournament time.
Purdue (40:1)
The Boilermakers will have to match points with UConn on Thursday, and that’s going to be a very tough task.
Arizona (50:1)
The talented Wildcats would love to recreate the magic of their 1997 title run, and they are worth a flyer at these odds.
Xavier (50:1)
Xavier has been making the Atlantic 10 proud so far, but the next round is where most predict their season will end.
