Kentucky is the new betting favorite to win the 2023 NCAA Tournament
Move over, Arkansas. There is a new betting favorite to win the 2023 NCAA Division I Men’s Basketball Tournament.
From KSR’s friend and relentless e-mailer Jimmy Shapiro, the University of Kentucky Wildcats moved to the top of BetOnline’s board in Monday’s update to next year’s NCAA Tournament odds. Kentucky’s odds changed from 11/1 to 8/1 in the first update since Oscar Tshiebwe and Sahvir Wheeler each announced they will be back in Lexington for another run.
Before the new update, the Razorbacks were the title favorite with 10/1 odds to win the championship, followed by Kentucky, Duke, and Gonzaga at 11/1.
