March Madness is approaching and the 64 team tournament is consistently the most heart pounding and exhilarating collection of games in all athletics. Who will win it all? A perennial favorite that won't be denied or will one team catch lightning in a bottle and make history?
NCAA 2016 March Madness Odds & Analysis
March Madness is an insanely competitive tournament that is constantly filled with upsets and heroics rarely seen in any other sports. The collegiate circuit always has incredible match-ups that see underdogs overcome the odds and take down a favorite. Is this the year a wild card is pulled out of the deck and walks into the winners circle? Or will a top-tier program like Kansas or Michigan State be the last team standing?
Kansas +1400
Kansas has won 12 consecutive Big 12 titles. They have more titles than home losses during that span. Over the last twelve years they have been a dominant in all aspects and this year is no different. One of the most gifted teams in the 64 team tournament, Kansas is ranked in the top 7 of both offensive and defensive efficiency and shoot 40% as a team. If you can only pick one team, the Jayhawks are your best bet.
Maryland +800
Maryland have lost their way a bit recently with Melo Trimble turning the ball over at an alarming rate, unable to buy a basket. As a higher seed in the tournament, the Terps really haven't found their defensive game yet which may prove to be their undoing. Think carefully about lining up Maryland as the team to cut down the nets.
University North Carolina +800
Most people believe the Tar Heels will either win it all or get sent packing in the first round which should concern prospective bettors. North Carolina will likely be the team this year that blows up a lot of brackets. Which UNC will show up to the tournament is the million dollar question. They have the ability to knock down 3 point shots and Brice Johnson has been a force this season but they average 31% from behind the arc as a team. With a recent win over Pitt in the ACC tournament it looks like Roy Williams squad is ready for the games to begin.
Michigan State +2000
The Spartans struggled early this season, but as they grew into their roles and battled through adversity they look to be the most tested team in the tournament. Also, it seems like Michigan State is one of the final few teams every single year so you're handicapping yourself if you aren't keeping a very close on them. If there is one team that can knock you out without allowing you off the mat, it's Michigan State. Forbes and Matt Costello might be the NCAA version of Curry and Thompson for Golden State.
Dark horse pick, UConn +5000
UConn is definitely a long shot in the tournament given their the 9th seed in the South Region. Also, they may have to play Kansas in the second round. The Huskies have had luck on their side ,though, and Kevin Ollie led the program to a National Championship in 2014 while beating the likes of Kentucky and Michigan St.. The Huskies are winners of four straight going into the tournament and only allow 55.3 points per game.
