Ohio State University is favored to win college basketball’s national championship even though they may be in the tournament’s deepest region and history is against them as the No. 1 overall seed.
The Buckeyes, who went 32-2 this season and captured the Big Ten Conference regular-season and tournament titles, are given 7-2 odds by Las Vegas oddsmakers to win their first men’s basketball championship since the 1960 squad that included Jerry Lucas, John Havlicek and Bob Knight.
