As most schools have a handful of conference games under their belt Bovada has updated their odds to win the 2017 National Championship and the Kentucky Wildcats are the 11/2 favorite with Gonzaga and Kansas on their toes.
Villanova, the reigning Champions, has had their chances improve a bit in Vegas’s eye from 11/1 in January to the current 10/1.
Perennial blue chip programs UCLA and North Carolina are the only other programs to have better odds than the Main Line Wildcats as Arizona and Duke join ‘Nova at 10/1.
Elsewhere around the BIG EAST, Butler and Creighton are at 50/1, Xavier is at 100/1, and Seton Hall is 500/1.
