Help me pick a longshot to win the Tourny

[cpatrocks]

OK, so I need to find a new routing interest for a substitute for obvious reasons.

I want to place a modest wager on a longshot. Here are some of the realistic options (25-1 or longer).

Kansas 25-1 (for some reason Kansas bores me)
Louis 30-1 (maybe after I watch them play us next week - just to root for AO's brother)
Nova 30-1
UNC 40-1
Ohio St 40-1
ND 50-1 (maybe just to root for Jerami's brother)
Utah 50-1 (no way)
Iowa St 65-1
Oak 65-1
Baylor 75-1
WV 80-1
Mich St 85-1
FL 100-1
SMU 100-1
SD State 100-1
Texas 100-1
Witchita St 100-1 (maybe just cause they are the Shockers)


There are some reasonable long shots on this list becuase the odds are so top heavy with Kentucky, Duke, Virginia and Wiscy.

I don't think they can win it all but Hoiberg and the Cyclones at those odds look attractive...I think they'll be an Elite 8 team. They have a lot of talent.

 

[tbonezone]

just a plain sucker bet at this point. wait til the seedings are announced. no way on texas. but don't count out izzo or donovan. been there done that.

if you wait till the brackets come out, you are going to get paid off alot less if its an easy bracket for one of these teams.

This is the time of the year I usually drop some $$$ on SU. In 2003 it paid off 80-1 so I think of it as playing with house money still.

 

[SoBeCuse]

I think Oklahoma St or LSU could get to the F4.

LSU is 1000-1!

 

[Alsacs]

Oklahoma at 65-1 would be my pick if I had to take one. This team can score and has depth and a good coach.

I think the NC comes from UK, Duke, UVA, Wisconsin but OU would be the team I think could get to Indy.

 

[jekelish]

Carolina at 40-1 isn't terrible, depending on the draw. They'll be bigger and more athletic than just about anyone other than Kentucky.

 

[JarHeadJim]

Pitt and UCONN! You were talking about the CBI correct?

I think there is zero chance kentucky or duke win.

 

[upperdeck]

case in point kentucky wins tonight as LSU just gives away the last 5-6 possessions. thats not going to happen in the NCAA

 

[Ghost]

I'd probably roll the dice on Iowa State at those odds.

 

[skurey]

I think there is zero chance kentucky or duke win.

I'll take Kentucky and Duke and you can pick 4 other teams and we'll bet on it. Sound good?

 

[cuseattle]

Utah looks good.

sure

 

[SUintheVille]

At 30-1, Louisville isn't a bad bet. They could go out 1st round the way they shoot sometimes, or they could go all the way. Wherever they finish, would love to see them take out UK along the way, make up for UK beating them earlier in the season.

 

[Toga]

At those odds I'd look at Carolina and Iowa State.

 

[andyw715]

We'll know more after the first UNC/duke game, but I'd run with the heels with your money.

 

[007]

I think there is zero chance kentucky or duke win.

 

[obliterata]

Louisville and if they make the tournament, St John's.

 

[HoustonCuse]

As far as I'm concerned they aren't holding an NCAA Tournament this year.

 

[rrlbees]

UNC or msu are the best value

 

[We Are Syracuse]

Both teams stink this year... No way florida even makes it... And I like WVU... Like Huggins and they will be a tough out if staten is playing well.. I can't stand to say it but I think GTown is the best sleeper to go to FF. Smith-Rivera is unreal and lord knows what he is capable of doing in March madness

 

[Col. Bleep]

I can't stand to say it but I think GTown is the best sleeper to go to FF...

Sure...until they run into this in the first round:


Or perhaps something like this:
