Big East Tournament Winner: UConn (-135)
The UConn Huskies are looking to make it back-to-back as Big East Tournament champions, and I think they'll make it happen.
Unless you buy St. John's (+800) and the return of Rick Pitino (not me) at MSG, your only two options at declining UConn are Creighton (+425) and Marquette (+500).
They're not 100 percent as Tyler Kolek's status is up in the air for Marquette, and they lost both games against UConn this season. After Yukon defeated Marquette by 28 points a few days ago, Creighton parted ways with Yukon and defeated the Huskies in a position that was very favorable to the Blue Jays. If Creighton and UW meet for a third time, I strongly believe the Huskies can win the game with multiple possessions.
The Huskies are one of five teams ranked in the top 20 in both offensive and defensive efficiency. Bartolvik (University of Houston, Purdue, Arizona, Auburn). UW is a top 100 rebounding team, top 10 in two-point offense and defense, and top 10 in field goal percentage.
I played UConn to win the Big East Tournament at odds of -135 on DraftKings, but they would end up at -150. They also played UConn to make the Final Four at +110 odds before dropping below -110.
The Huskies look just as dangerous, if not more so, than my beloved Houston Cougars this season. And I would go so far as to say UConn is the least vulnerable No. 1 seed.
As one of the top two No. 1 seeded teams, UConn should run the table all the way to the Elite 8 and possibly the Sweet 16. The Huskies have a lucrative short road schedule to MSG and Boston in the coming weeks.
