Here are the odds to win the 2023 WCC Tournament courtesy of FanDuel and our best bet to win it.
To nobody’s surprise, Gonzaga enters this tournament as the favorite for the umpteenth time after winning it nine of the last 10 years and 18 times in 23 tries since head coach Mark Few took over in 1999.While the Bulldogs still lead the nation in offensive efficiency and rank 10th in adjusted efficiency margin, that’s a far cry from the top-two ranking they’ve boasted five of the last six years – which often leads oddsmakers to price Gonzaga at -400 or better to win this tournament.
They’re also the only other team besides Gonzaga to win this tournament in the last 14 years, breaking through in 2010, 2012 and 2019.Loyola Marymount was the only team to beat both Gonzaga and Saint Mary’s this year, and it’s easily the best sleeper bet to play spoiler this week, too. The Lions are an experienced group that shoot the ball well, crash the defensive boards and defend the 3-point line, which is a strong formula for knocking off the trigger-happy teams atop the bracket.
Loyola Marymount also benefits from a top-four seed, meaning it needs just one win to set up a duel with Saint Mary’s on Monday.The Dons are a high-variance bunch that attempt 49% of their shots from deep – the third-most by any team in the country.Betting on College Basketball?
