Duke Sees NCAA Title Odds Tumble In Latest Update

Duke tumbled in the latest update of NCAA title odds.
The gambling site BetOnline released a March update of odds, and the Blue Devils have seen their fortunes fade since the previous update at the start of February.
A month ago, Duke was the favorite to win the Final Four, at 8/1 odds. With three losses in the last four games, Duke’s odds have fallen to 14/1, tied for fifth.
Kentucky and San Diego State also have 14/1 odds, up from 20/1 and 18/1 respectively. The Blue Devils were passed by Baylor, who held firm at 12/1, Dayton, up from 20/1 to 10/1, Gonzaga, up to 7/1 from 9/1, and Kansas, up from 9/1 to 6/1.
Vernon Carey Jr. also saw a drop in his odds to win National Player of the Year. At the start of February, he was tied for seventh, at 8/1 odds. In the March update, he’s been taken off the betting board.
Here are the full championship and player of the year odds.
