I like our chances a whole lot more than about 90% of the teams ahead of us. Penn St at 80/1? Wouldn't touch them at 800/1 lol

However, the odds of an 8 from a P5 SCHOOL being invited to dance are MUCH higher than a 3 or 4 from AAC. For the record, I’d say 350 sounds right at this point - maybe even generous.

Nevada at 60-1
Nevada went from 2000/1 in 2016/17...Lost to Iowa State 1st Round
to
100/1 in 2017/2018...Lost to Loyola Chic...S16
to
60/1 in 2018/19 (confirmed @ LVS Superbook a few weeks ago)

If Nevada doesn't land Brown...they roll with KJ Hymes as a true Frosh big to bolster the front court for key minutes and depth. Hymes is pretty legit as a potential role player. I expect Caroline back but we shall see with the Martin twins and whether they get the combine invite.

You still have the Lindsey Drew PG injury where there is still a question on his ability to come back 100%. Although the transfers coming in are all very legit. Nevada doesn't travel as well as Gonzaga. SO if everyone returns for Nevada expect Gonzaga as the #1 seed in the West and Nevada as the #2 seed. 60/1 only has value if everyone returns and Drew is healthy. Assuming that happens Nevada could close @ 12/1 going into the Regional Final.

350-1. That low huh?

URI opened last year @ 300/1 and returned 5 seniors from a team that won a game and lost to Oregon a team that made the FF. Looking forward now to this year w/UConn. The only way I take the 350/1 is if I know there is more roster movement on the plus side for UConn (a departure and a reclass). Maybe a departure (other than CV) and another grad transfer/4*.

In June 2013 I was in Vegas (with a fellow BY member) and put $40 on Uconn to win 2014 national championship at 50-1. 9 months later I won $2k on that bet. I flew out to Vegas to cash my ticket, then blew all of the money within 48 hours on extra cirricular activities in Sin City.

I had UConn in the Kemba year at 35-1 preseason. Thought that was a bit light.

I had Uconn at 75-1 for $25 during their last championship run. I placed the bet while I was at the Uconn/Georgetown game that season at the XL Center. This was BEFORE the conference tourney or selection Sunday! They lost to Louisville on St. Patrick's Day in the conference tourney, and then...pure magic. I also fired in another bet on them to win it all when they made the final four at 6-1. An unreal run.

I hear they may land Brandon Williams.

Then it won't be 350-1.

Wow.

I think they are underselling us. That is way worse odds than Oceanographer Matt Hooper gave Chief Brody on the caught Tiger Shark being the actual shark that ate the little Kinter boy. I believe even that was set at 100-1.


We are getting zero respect.

ok, so Vegas still has Nevada at 60-1 and I am hearing that Jordan Brown may actually committ, that would give the wolfpack another stud bigman, think I am going to pull the trigger and put down a couple hundred.

These odds make no sense. We have improved our coaching situation and return the best senior guard in the country with our entire roster, minus TL(who was net negative imo). I want to put some money on us at these odds, is there anywhere online where I can do so legally?
