LAS VEGAS ? Las Vegas casinos like top seed Kentucky better than all the other teams in the NCAA Tournament, but think Ohio State is better than any of the other No. 1s.

Oddsmaker Mike Colbert of Cantor Gaming said yesterday that Kentucky is a 5-2 favorite to win the championship, despite losing the Southeastern Conference tournament final to Vanderbilt on Sunday.

?They started a little slow but I think they?ve been the best team for the bulk of the year,? said Colbert, Cantor?s risk-management director. ?I think the loss will end up being good for them ? I think they were getting slightly arrogant.?

No. 2 seed Ohio State was 6-1 as the second favorite in odds Cantor shared with the majority of Nevada?s 186 sports books, Colbert said.

?That probably surprises some people because they got beat (Sunday) by Michigan State in their conference championship,? he said.

Michigan State, the top seed in the West region, was 9-1 to win the title. The other top seeds ? North Carolina and Syracuse ? were 7-1 and 10-1, respectively.

In any sport, Las Vegas usually makes teams more expensive if they?re popular among bettors. But the Buckeyes? odds are based simply on the idea that they?re better than the others, Colbert said.
