The Las Vegas Hotel lists odds for 49 different participants in the 68-team field. If you bet on The Field (the other 19 teams) at 150-1 you have a better shot at winning than the 200-1 Fighting Illini.
Indiana leads the B1G at 7-1 with Ohio State next at 15-1.

Also, the love pouring in for the Buckeyes by the national media is quite interesting, huh? That has to piss the rest of the country off.
Yeah i was watching espn and pretty much every analyst has us in the final 4, and Jay Williams has us winning it all
ESPN was very pro-Ohio State in their tournament show. CBS, on the other hand, was hard on the Buckeyes. Nobody picked OSU getting to the final four. In fact, between the three analysts on set, only one had a B1G team making the Final Four. That was Gottlieb's pick of the Hoosiers.
I personally love Ohio State's draw. I am a bit worried about New Mexico but that may be because I haven't seen much of that school this year and I keep hearing how good the Mountain West was this year (Number 1 in conference RPI). However, the Buckeyes are peaking at the right time and I predict a final four year with a championship chance. I would have never thought that a couple of months ago.
It is funny how everyone was saying the B1G was overrated and how OSU better watch out for such and such team. But then they all think OSU will go far. Crazy!
15-1 odds, I'll put $50 down on that.
