Bovada, one of the leading online sportsbooks, released a new set of odds for who they think will win the 2019 men’s basketball National Championship. For the Ohio State Buckeyes, their odds continue to slip—now resting as an 80-to-1 long shot.
On April 3, the day after Villanova toppled Michigan for the basketball crown in San Antonio, Bovada listed the Buckeyes at 60-to-1 odds of winning the title next season in Minneapolis. However, as coaching changes, recruiting commitments and other factors took shape, the odds inevitably changed.
Kentucky, who had the third best odds in April, are now the leaders in the clubhouse at 6-to-1 odds of getting back on top of the college basketball mountain.
