Must Reads
Michigan State is ESPN's sexy pick for good reason. They're playing great basketball, and finally have everyone back healthy. The Spartans have the second best odds to cut down the nets.
The defending champions are 13/2 to repeat.
Wichita State's odds to remain undefeated are 10/1. I don't see them making it all the way to the end, but not because they aren't good enough. It's just a really difficult thing to do, and with each round the pressure will become that much more.
The Jayhawks also have 10/1 odds, but whether or not they hold up the hardware will depend on Joel Emiid's ability to stay healthy.
Iowa State is the hottest team in the Big 12 right now. They have 33/1 to bring a National Title to Ames, but they will most likely have to face Michigan State or Virginia to do it.
Oklahoma State has the 16th best odds to bring home the hardware at 40/1. That's surprisingly good odds considering the Cowboys road to the Title game and their record in close games.
