I picked up a UConn ticket at 9:1 a couple of weeks ago. I also grabbed a Memphis ticket about a month that we won't talk about.

Auburn was my sneaky pick weeks ago, and then they were losing by 30 points in the second half to Florida. I just don't know who can win six in a row besides UConn, and they're not that much better than everyone else the way Gonzaga and Baylor was a few years ago.DanaDane said:
The only one an any of the lists that I would trust to this point is UConn, and there are at least 5 teams that matchup enough with them that they could also take an exit in the Sweet 16 or Elite 8.
I'm not scared of any of the others. I don't think there is any team without a weakness this year. Anyone from Purdue on down could go out with the wrong matchup or game officiated differently than the style to which they are accustomed.

Actually a good one too. They are streaky and have the offensive firepower of a Baylor, Alabama, Kentucky.. but with a decent defense.

I grabbed Creighton at 30:1 this morning. They just beat #5 Marquette by 14. They look pretty solid.
Houston freshman power forward JoJo Tugler is expected to miss to rest of the season with a stress injury in his right foot @PaperCityMag has learned. This includes the NCAA Tournament. The biggest blow yet to No. 1 UH's rapidly depleting bench unit.

Baylor and Duke are good values.
