If you told me that Pike was going to instruct the team that nobody is allowed to shoot (unless it is a layup) except Harper and Bailey ... I'd bet Rutgers in a heartbeat at that number. But I know Pike and he will be content to watch Sommerville stand around at the three point line and let Davis play the point. So it would be like burning money.

Hard to make a case for any team outside the top 4 in this list.
3 on 1 side of the bracket, msu on the other.

Have you figured out whether Kansas is generally a good basketball program yet?

It's good value if the defense and rebounding switch is in the ON position. If it's not, you might as well just toss the money out of a window.

Other than Dylan, layups haven't exactly been a sure thing this season.

35% is basically the number to keep in mind given these odds. If you think the average probability of winning any one game in a 5 game stretch given our path is above that amount, then it's decent 'value.'

Something like 50%, 35%, 35%, 35%, 30%. But it looks like USC is favored so 50% is probably a bit of a stretch itself.

0.1% looks like a chance to me. We shut the country down over same %, did we not?

Maryland Michigan state, Purdue and Oregon they won NIL money in Vegas look like solid plays. Illinois, Wisconsin and Michigan are blank shooters too offen. UCLA is a dark horse in the NCAAs but not in Indy.
