Champ Week 2023
Conference Tourney Odds along with thoughts and commentary…
Big East Tournament Odds:
UConn 2/1
Marquette 5/2.. The sixth ranked team in the nation isn’t the favorite
Creighton 5/2
Xavier 11/2
Villanova 8/1.. Vegas is sniffing out the hot team… we’re placing money here, but with more hesitancy. Nova doesn’t have a bye and will have to win four games in four days.
Providence 13/1.. Take a look here. Bynum is a hooper and carried this team far last year
St. John’s 60/1
Big 12 Tournament Odds:
Rock Chalk 2.2/1
UT 3/1.. We’re taking the Longhorns
Baylor 9/2
K State 11/2.. Tempting
Iowa St 11/2
TCU 13/2
WVU 12/1
Ok St 25/1
Texas Tech 35/1
Oklahoma 35/1
ACC Tournament Odds (Day 1 of the Tourney has already occurred):
Miami 3/1
UVA 3.2/1
Duke 7/2
UNC 13/2… How?
Clemson 9/1… Yes! Double bye. Value.
Pittsburgh 12/1

SEC Tournament Odds:
Bama +155
Vols +360
UK 4/1… Pass
A&M 6/1… Pass
Arkansas 12/1… If you’re feeling greedy, go all in. Musselman eats, breaths and runs March
Auburn 16/1… Hate Bruce Pearl. Love these guards
Mizzou 28/1… They have more grit than you think. Also, aren’t they ranked 25th in the country right now? Double bye as well… this is the value play
Miss St 48/1
Big Ten Tournament Odds:
Purdue +185… This is the only play here but do you really want to cheer for Purdue? Mind as well play the lottery and take one of these other teams
Indiana +440
MSU 11/2
Maryland 9/1
NW 10/1… Double bye, but no
Illini 11/1… hehe… Shannon Jr. was First Team All Big Ten, by the way.
Iowa 12/1
UM 15/1
PSU 25/1
Rutgers 30/1
Wisconsin 65/1… would have to win five games in five days
OSU 75/1… Bad

USC 15/2
Oregon 10/1
Wash St 14/1
Arizona St 23/1
Other CBB Thoughts:
- Bill “Get those puppies organized” Raftery is still calling games and will be on the mic for the Big East Tourney and NCAA games
- A lot of Big Ten teams on the bubble
- Gonzaga took care of business Tuesday night against St. Mary’s for the WCC title
- UNC is bad and does not deserve an At-large bid, same goes for Michigan and got a bad feeling Wisconsin will make it in
