If you bet on March Madness, it’s tough to bet on just one team when it comes to the winner of the NCAA Tournament as anything can happen, and it usually does. Therefore, we’re going to give you two picks to go with when it comes to the Big Dance, and while they should come as no surprise, it’s for a good reason: these teams are really, really good.
Kansas
The Jayhawks are deeper than anyone in the country, they score inside and out, and they are as active on the defensive end on the floor as they are with the basketball. They also have a great coach in Bill Self, who has done a fantastic job of keeping this deep and talented group on the straight and narrow, outside of Tyshawn Taylor’s suspension. But it seems like only a major injury to one of the Morris brothers will derail Kansas’ championship run.
Ohio State
The Buckeyes have a tried and true formula: one amazing big man in freshman Jared Sullinger, and a crew of three-point shooters who can gun it with anyone in the country. Like Kansas, Ohio State takes good shots, but they may be more physical than the Jayhawks. The Buckeyes don’t hurt themselves in terms of turning the ball over, and they have plenty of experience with players who went to the 2008 title game. If they get a No.1 seed and a favorable draw, look for Ohio State to be a popular online sports bet in Houston.
