Odds to win 2024 NCAA Tournament

[Smashcat]

Good early odds right now for all teams. UK surprisingly high considering most pre-season polls don't have UK in their top 10.

2024 NCAA Tournament odds: Kansas is the March Madness favorite, but UConn, Purdue, UCLA are best value picks

The Jayhawks are slight favorites over Michigan State and Kentucky to cut down the nets this season

Losing Ivisic drops our chances significantly.

UK needs it. Cal really needs it.

no doubt we have a team that is loaded with talent
this team is much more like our teams up to 2020 instead of the talent level we have had the last three years

Just get healthy and STAY healthy.

This team has a chance to be great if Wagner and Edwards lead the way.

that and a little luck

Here we go again. High expectations for an obvious 24-10 roster.

Maybe, it doesn’t help that’s for sure. None of us know jack about him. He would have probably went second round last year, we’ve had numerous players leave and go 2nd round that we’re not difference makers. Wait and see approach is what I’m taking.

If it doesn't help, then it hurts, and it it hurts, it's inevitably significant.

Losing any fluid 7'2", 2nd round pick automatically hurts. There's no way to spin that. Even if he's a 4, 4 and 1 guy, that's like losing Andre Riddick from the '95 team or losing Jules Camara from the 2003 team.

Point is, you take all the quality guys you can get. Every impact player matters in March; and sometimes, an Elite Eight win/loss can be determined by having one extra guy show up.

Cal needs all the help he can get due to his inadequacy as a head coach.

Won’t argue that. Lol

No it doesn't. He's going to play maybe 5 minutes a game.

It shouldn't. Vegas isn't going to change odds drastically because of him. Now to us, as fans, I would agree, it probably will hurt. But even in football, it needs to be a BIG player injury to affect the odds.

As for the article, it is hilarious how Kentucky's odds always seem to be a good deal higher than were supposedly unbiased writers think.

Makes you wonder, if these writers had to put their pay checks on the line, if they really think UK is a fringe top25 team.

If Cal was only going to play a first round draft pick 5 minutes a game, then he should be fired for incompetence and stupidity.

The FANS need it!
