IT’S BRACKET MADNESS: Enter USA TODAY’s NCAA competition bracket contest for a opportunity at $1 million reward.
UConn (+475 at DraftKings) is the agreement preferred, with Houston (+600) and Purdue (+750) right behind. But anything can occur in the NCAA Tournament, as we saw in last year’s Final Four, which included No. 4 UConn as the greatest seed.
For The Win asked a coupleof reputable wagerers about their worth bets to win the 2024 NCAA competition. Here’s what they’re considering.
Mike Randle, Chief Content Officer at FTN: Tennessee Volunteers (11-1)
“It’s Tennessee’s world and we are all simply living in it.
“The story that head coach Rick Barnes can’t win in March is exceptionally misdirected. Barnes has a 803-413 (66 percent) profession winning portion, with a Big East Tournament Championship, 2 SEC Tournament Championships and a Final Four look. He hasactually discovered tremendous success in the Big East, Big 12 and SEC, the 3 hardest basketball conferences in the country.
“The Volunteers haveactually made 5 straight NCAA competitions, and reached the Sweet 16 last season, leading by 11 points over Florida Atlantic without guard Zakai Zeigler. The one thing Tennessee was constantly missingouton was that late-game scorer, which hasactually been fixed with SEC Player of the Year Dalton Knecht. T
