NCAA men’s basketball tournament is wide open
This is not the season of the superstar in college basketball, and the road to the NCAA championship seems as wide open as ever.
“There’s no superteam out there,” said Nick Bogdanovich, William Hill sportsbook director.
Kansas is the favorite at 7-1 odds, followed by Gonzaga (8-1) and Duke (9-1). When asked to make a list of teams he considered national title threats, Bogdanovich did not make a short list.
This might be the season of the long shot in college basketball. Three teams ranked in this week’s top 10 were not even a blip on the radar last summer. William Hill opened San Diego State at 1,000-1, and the Aztecs’ current odds are 18-1. The Westgate SuperBook opened Dayton at 1,000-1 and Baylor at 100-1.
“San Diego State would be our biggest loser by far,” Bogdanovich said. “I love the story. I hope the Aztecs get to the Final Four. Obviously I don’t love our position, but I’m not going to lose any sleep over it.”
