Message: [QUOTE="BostonCanuck, post: 2542533, member: 6931"] I wonder if in this case whether the odds makers have overrated the field, though. I'd think that average person making a bet would want to see UConn get beat, such that the emotional bet is with the underdog, the field. Currently, I give the field a chance of winning in the range of 28-32%, and I'd make the Huskies 68-72% favorites. No "juice" in my estimates. So if the odds were as initially presented above, I'd bet Huskies all the way. The problem with the Huskies this year is that they can be inconsistent on the offensive end. However, with six elite players, a very good freshman, and a playable sophomore in Kyla Irwin, there's just a depth that did not exist last year, should a player or two have a bad night or get into foul trouble. That's more than enough for me to spot them another ten points on top of what you've given them. :) [/QUOTE]
