Help me pick a longshot to win the Tourny

[iommi]

So I'm feeling really good about Iowa St. right now, especially at 65-1.

Glad to have been of some assistance.

I rhought ND at 60-1 looked like good value, especially if they are riding a wave like UConn was last year.

I love my Oklahoma at 65-1 pick back in February.

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.

You missed one really good team with a reasonable chance to advance very far- UNI.

I know they are a 100-1 bet but take a look at SMU. They're on a hot streak, got a couple of really good bigs, a strong point guard and Larry Brown has been around the block.

They are lightly regarded for how they are playing right now, you are right about that...but all the way? Can't see it.

Well that sucked. They lost the 2nd game played in the entire tourny.

Oklahoma at 65-1 has a path to the Final Four. They are the highest seed in the East.
