NCAA Tournament 2015: Full Betting Odds For March Madness

In 2015, it’s the No.1 Kentucky Wildcats and everyone else. Head coach John Calipari and his band of underclassmen are overwhelming 6/5 favorites to win the 2015 NCAA men’s basketball tournament, according to the latest odds from Bovada.lv.

After claiming the SEC tournament, Kentucky (34-0, 18-0 SEC) and forward Karl-Anthony Towns are not only eyeing a ninth national championship for the storied program but also a perfect season. The last team to cap a perfect regular season with six more wins and the NCAA title was the 1976 Indiana Hoosiers.

The Wildcats earned the No. 1 overall seed in the Midwest Region, and will face either Hampton or Manhattan, two of the teams battling in the first round on Tuesday, in the second round.

After Kentucky, the No. 2 seed Arizona Wildcats are at 15/2, followed by the No. 1 Wisconsin Badgers at 17/2, the No. 1 Duke Blue Devils at 9/1, No. 1 Villanova Wildcats at 10/1 and No. 2 Virginia also at 10/1.

Although it claimed the Pac-12 regular season and tournament title, Arizona was named a No. 2 seed in the West Region. But bookmakers and bettors are evidently banking on the Wildcats to advance in the difficult region that also includes the top seeded Badgers, Pac-12 rival and No. 8 seed Oregon, No. 10 Ohio State, No. 5 Arkansas, No. 4 North Carolina and No. 3 Baylor.

Duke, led by head coach Mike Krzyzewski and big man freshman Jahlil Okafor, slipped a bit after falling to Notre Dame in the ACC tournament semifinals. But with Krzyzewski experience in the tournament, and the Blue Devils owning the fourth-highest scoring offense in the country, they are still a big threat to Kentucky.

The biggest underdogs in the tournament this year are Coastal Carolina, Hampton, Lafayette, Manhattan, North Florida, and Robert Morris, each listed at 1000/1.
