Decent long shot to win NCAA Basketball Tournament?

[TARB]

I played Houston @30/1 odds to win the tournament.

Houston will most likely be a #2 seed in the tournament and even has a shot at replacing Villanove as the fourth #1 seed.

Of course, right now Gonzaga and Baylor seem to be unbeatable, but the low odds on them prohibit playing them.

Houston suffered its second loss today to lowly ECU, which scored about 11 3-point shots.

Did you happen to see a price on UCLA? If Cronin gets them rolling late in the season like he did last year, they might be good value. At least we know they’ll play defense and rebound.

I see UCLA at 60/1 and at 80/1 at two different books.

I like Houston, as well.

Sad to say,but Gonzaga and/or Baylor are gonna be difficult to beat. The rest of the field is IMO is like the NFL saying "on any given Sunday",at best.. gl

Houston suffered its second loss today to lowly ECU, which scored about 11 3-point shots.

Houston's odds are now at 15/1 and 20/1 at two different books.

Alabama ............ 20/1
Virginia .............. 35/1
West Virginia ..... 50/1

Doesn't anyone else at least like a little bit a team that has odds of 20/1 or higher?

Ohio state 20/1

florida state 25/1

Oklahoma 30/1


Ohio state seems to be streaky and they can get hot at the right time and take out someone like Gonzaga.

Westgate odds:

Ohio State ........ 20/1
Florida State ..... 40/1
Oklahoma ......... 60/1

Westgate odds:

Colorado ..... 60/1

I just placed a small wager on Loyola Chicago at 200/1 odds.
Loyola Chicago blew out Drake on its home court in Des Moines, Iowa and will play at Drake tomorrow (back-to-back road games) to take a commanding lead in the Missouri Conference.

Brutal outcomes yesterday......Painful

[TARB]

Gonzaga was very lucky to beat UCLA yesterday. That charge call against UCLA with 1.2 seconds left in regulation could have been called a foul on Gonzaga which would have Gonzaga depending on UCLA missing foul shots to win the game. Then about a half court heave off the backboard in OT to win the game was very lucky, too. If nothing else, #11 seed UCLA showed Baylor how to beat Gonzaga in the final game.
