Ohio State Men’s Basketball with the 14th best odds to win the title

With just over a week before Selection Sunday and the regular season coming to an end Sunday afternoon, Bovada has given the Buckeyes the 14^th best odds to finish atop the NCAA Men’s Basketball Tournament and bring yet another championship back to Columbus. Tied with such powerhouses like Northern Iowa and Wichita State, Ohio State has 50/1 odds of winning the NCAA Tournament.

Thad Matta brings out the best in his Buckeyes when it comes to basketball in March and April. In fact as head coach of Ohio State, he is 58-17 in March and April. With one of the best players in the country, D’Angelo Russell, anything is possible once March Madness begins. The team is currently 22-8 on the season after their victory over Penn State on Wednesday. It is a young squad with a lot of talent, but they have had their share of ups and downs during the season. This team could be a tough out in the tournament, especially if Russell turns his game up even more and puts the Bucks on his back. It’s for this reason why the Buckeyes, ranked No. 23 in the country, currently hold the 14^th best odds.

Obviously, the undefeated Kentucky Wildcats (1/1) have the best odds of winning the championship come early April. Duke (17/2), The Big Ten’s Wisconsin (9/1), Arizona (12/1), and Virginia (12/1) round out the top five. Defending champion, UConn Huskies, currently hold 150/1 odds.
