With the regular season officially in the books college basketball bettors turn their attention to the postseason.
The Kentucky Wildcats finished the regular season with a perfect 31-0 straight up record and went 6-1 against the spread down the stretch as well. The unanimous No. 1 team in the country is also the odds-on favorite on the odds to win the 2015 NCAA Tournament.
Kentucky is going off at 11/10 odds to win the NCAA Tournament according to sportsbooks monitored by OddsShark.com. The Wildcats seemed to get better as the season went on and finished with the third best defense in the country allowing only 53.4 points per game. Kentucky figures to breeze through the SEC Tournament to the top one-seed and will be tough to knock off.
Wisconsin's odds to win the title have climbed all the way up to 13/2 as the team finished the regular season on a 13-1 SU run that included a pair of impressive back-to-back double-digit road wins at Minnesota and at Ohio State. The Badgers finished the season with a 28-3 SU record and are a 10/11 favorite on the odds to win the Big Ten Tournament.
Right behind Wisconsin on the March Madness betting board are Duke (10/1), Virginia (10/1) and Arizona (11/1). Duke finished its regular season on an 11-0 SU and 7-4 ATS run including an 84-77 win on the road against North Carolina in the final game of the regular season. Virginia lost its final game of the season but still ended up with a 28-2 SU record on the year. The ACC Tournament will be interesting as these teams battle for the conference's top spot.
Gonzaga's stock took a hit when the team lost to BYU at home as a 13.5-point favorite. Still, the Bulldogs finished the year with a 30-2 SU record and have the talent to make a deep run going off at 16/1 to win the NCAA Tournament. Villanova is also going off at 16/1 on those college basketball betting lines after finishing the regular season as the best team in the Big East by a wide margin at 29-2 SU.
Other potential contenders to win the NCAA Tournament include Kansas (22/1), Utah (33/1), North Carolina (33/1), Iowa State (40/1), Louisville (40/1), and Notre Dame (40/1).
