Now, the team will open the Big Ten Tournament as the No. 8 seed, meaning that they will receive a double-bye and face No. 17 Maryland, No. 16 Oregon, or No. 9 Iowa on Thursday. So, before the Buckeyes get back on the court, we are checking in with our friends at FanDuel to see where OSU stands in terms of their postseason odds.
Big Ten Tournament odds
Before action gets underway in the Windy City this week, Ohio State currently sits as the ninth most likely team to take home the conference title. Despite being a better seed than Iowa, the Hawkeyes have the eighth-best odds at +5000, while OSU is at +7500.The Michigan Wolverines have the best odds in the conference at -105, with Illinois next, considerably further behind, at +460.
Final Four odds
At this point, I think that all of Buckeye Nation can feel pretty confident in OSU’s potential to make the Big Dance. Of course, anything can happen, but it would be a shock of monumental proportions if they were left out of the tournament field.So, I don’t feel like I am jinxing anything by looking at any of their March Madness odds. So, let’s start with the Buckeyes’ chances to make the Final Four. Currently, they have the 41st-best odds, tied with Auburn, at +12500.
The Big Ten teams ahead of them are Michigan (-170), Illinois (+340), Purdue (+500), Michigan State (+1100), Nebraska (+2000), Wisconsin (+3500), Iowa (+4500), and UCLA (+8000).
National championship odds
The national championship outlook is very similar to that of the Final Four. The Buckeyes are tied with McNeese with the 40th-best shot to cut down the nets at +50000. That is a veeeeeeeery long shot, but even a $1 bet would bring in a $5,000 profit if Bruce Thornton and company go on the greatest run in tournament history. While it is essentially setting a dollar bill on fire, I can think of worse ways to waste a buck.Unsurprisingly (and annoyingly), Michigan has the best odds in the country at +340, followed by Duke at +360, Arizona at +550, then Florida (+700) and Houston (+1000).
