UCLA Basketball Has Good Odds to Win the NCAA Tournament

The brackets are set and the Big Dance will soon be under way. The UCLA Basketball team, whether you think they got screwed in their seeding or not, has a difficult path to Phoenix, this year’s host of the NCAA Final Four.

But how difficult can it be? Odds on the Bruins winning the National Championship have been revealed as 12/1, which is the 7th best among the top nine odds released.

Those are better odds than Pac-12 peers Oregon and Arizona.
