Bovada released their pre-tourney odds on Monday afternoon for the upcoming 2017 NCAA Tournament.
While the Duke Blue Devils and North Carolina Tar Heels are the current odds-on favorites at 13/2, the Villanova Wildcats aren’t too far behind. The reigning National Champions are at 15/2, posting the same odds as the Kansas Jayhawks. ‘Nova, of course, is looking to become the first back-to-back National Champ since the Florida Gators of 2006 and 2007.
You’d have to trek down a few rungs on the ladder to find the next team from the Big East.
