Kentuck 8-5
North Carolina 5-1
Ohio St. 6-1
Syracuse 7-1
Michigan State 8+1
Kansas 10-1
Missouri 10-1
Duke 10-1

Baylor 25-1
Louisville 30-1
Marqurtte 30-1
Georgetown 30-1
Wisconsin 30-1
Wichita St. 35-1
Vanderbilt 35-1
Florida St. 40-1
------------------------------------------------------------------------


I always like to take a team for $100, 0-3 in the last three years lol. I'm liking Missouri at 10-1 to win it all, don't like they have to beat Mich St. though just because of the Izzo factor.

Darkhorse for me is Vanderbilt, I have them in the final four.

What do people like with the odds? What are you taking?
Any odd for specific REGIONS can be discussed too. I'm not going to post all the odds but obvioulsy I like Vanerbilt at 8-1.

Michigan St. will lose to ether Memphis or New Mexico.. i really liked long beach st as a good longshot but i absolutely hate their matchup with NM.

Also I took Wisconsin a week or two ago for 60 to 1 not so sure they go deep but we shall see I also put in Memphis LBST and NM sucks 3 teams in one region.

I got Missouri at 45-1 during the first week of the season. I like my possition. I also have 2 others not so good Michigan at 45-1 and Alabama at 30-1. I think I'm jumping on vandy as well and Florida state and Louisville. Just $50 on each. Last year I picked 1 team at 22-1.......uconn for 100!!!!

Have had UNLV at 40:1 for about a month, just a $40 bet. Vanderbilt is a good value at 35:1 odds.

Like Mizz too.

Sparty will advance. Just my hunch. Not saying New Mexico isn't quality. Just saying Sparty is better. I actually think Michigan State got a great draw. I think they match up really well with Mizzou also. Which is kind of sad because I liked Mizzou before the brackets came out. 

I wish the Beach were in a different region because they do have great sleeper potential. 

Should be a good tourney though.

For some reason Cuse at 7-1 jumps out at me. 

I don't like Kentucky at all at those odds. Coach Cal always seems to hit an Elite 8 wall with all those freshman.

I like kansas at 10 to 1. They have a quick speedy gaurd in taylor and a dominant low.post scoring presense in robinson. They have a good combination of skilled big men and good gaurd play. tough potential match up with george town though.

sounds like you like alll longshots then. What logic are you using with Memphis over MSU? They are athletic and like to run but cant rebound for shit or play defense like MSU. just saying...

im liking FSU and Marquette as longer shots. But i gotta go with my boys MSU to win it all. Remind me of unranked uconn last year and we all know Izzos track record in the tourney. Defense wins championships

Memphis is ranked #9 in the kenpom rankings while MSU is #3 if you're at all familiar....19th in AdjO and 11th in AdjD while playing quality defensive and offensive tms. Sounds like MSU to me. Memphis could definatly beat MSU (hope they don't however...GO Sparty) I love this time of yr. GL
