Connecticut Favored To Win Third Men’s National Championship
WILLEMSTAD, CURACAO (March 6, 2006)—Now that the regular season has ended,
over 300 Division I men’s basketball teams enter their conference
tournaments this week hoping to earn an invite to “the big dance” for a
shot at the national championship. With the field of 65 teams announced on
Sunday, leading online sportsbook <a href="http://www.pinnaclesports.com/?refer=xulticap">Pinnacle Sports</a> today released
updated odds to win the 2006 men’s NCAA Basketball Tournament.
The largest sports betting site on the Internet, <a href="http://www.pinnaclesports.com/?refer=xulticap">Pinnacle Sports</a> has
listed individual odds on several likely tournament-bound teams capturing
the NCAA crown. Perhaps the nation’s most talented team from top to
bottom, the Connecticut Huskies are the odds-on favorites to win their
third national championship under Jim Calhoun at 5/2 odds. Despite losing
back-to-back games to Florida State and North Carolina, PinnacleSports.com
lists Duke at 4/1 to survive “March Madness”. Big East regular season
co-champions Villanova currently stand at 8/1 to win the national
championship while reigning champions North Carolina are at 10/1 to become
the first repeat winners in over a decade. PinnacleSports.com lists the
Texas Longhorns at 11/1 to add the men’s basketball title to the BCS
championship they won in January’s Rose Bowl. Other teams that should be
in contention for the national title include: Memphis (12/1); Ohio State
(14/1); West Virginia (19/1); Illinois (21/1) and Florida (26/1).
In addition to offering odds on which team will win the national
championship, <a href="http://www.pinnaclesports.com/?refer=xulticap">Pinnacle Sports</a> has also created a betting option on the
Division I conference of the tournament winner. With likely number 1 seeds
Connecticut and Villanova, the sixteen-team Big East is an overwhelming
7/5 favorite to win this year’s NCAA tourney. PinnacleSports.com lists the
Duke and North Carolina-led ACC with the second best odds at 14/5 followed
by a deep Big 10 conference at 8/1 and the Big 12 at 9/1. With Memphis
likely to earn a high seeding in the NCAA tournament, Conference USA is
11/1 to capture the title while the SEC and PAC-10 are at 20/1 and 23/1,
respectively.
PinnacleSports.com will offer “March Madness” betting on every conference
tournament game in addition to all games of the NCAA men’s and women’s
tournaments. For a complete list of NCAA betting options, please visit
