William Hill Releases Updated 2020-21 Title Odds

Vegas sports book William Hill released its updated 2020-21 season college basketball title odds and Oklahoma State is a long shot, but not by as much as you'd think

If you're missing sports so much that you're going through 2020-21 college basketball title futures, then you're not alone.

Vegas sports book William Hill recently updated their 2020-21 title odds and Oklahoma State is listed as a long shot, but certainly not as far down as they've been in recent years. The Cowboys check in with a handful of other teams at 100/1 to win the 2020-21 national title.

This is how the Big 12 looks with the odds given:

• Kansas 12/1
• Baylor 13/1
• Texas Tech 30/1
• West Virginia 40/1
• Texas 50/1
• Oklahoma State 100/1

Those odds have certainly improved for the Cowboys since William Hill released their futures at the end of March.

Oklahoma State is returning a solid group of veterans led by juniors Isaac Likekele and Yor Anei. That includes sophomores Avery Anderson, Kalib and Keylan Boone, Chris Harris and Hidde Roessink.

This past season, Likekele averaged 10.5 points, 5.6 rebounds, 4.5 assists and nearly two steals a game. Those numbers are lower than what they could've been as Likekele missed a month of action, including the start of Big 12 play due to an illness. Even after coming back in mid-January, Likekele didn't start to get back to full strength until the middle of February.

They're joined by one of the best recruiting classes in not only the country, but in program history. It's headlined by the No. 1 overall prospect in the country Cade Cunningham out of Montverde (FL) Academy.

He's joined by a handful of four-star prospects in guards Rondel Walker and Donovan Williams and forward Matthew-Alexander Moncrieffe. Boynton and Co. also added sharpshooting 3-point specialist Ferron Flavors Jr, as well as forward Montreal Pena.

As for Cunningham, he and Likekele played together for USA Basketball and won the gold medal in the 2019 U19 FIBA World Cup.

Cunningham also played alongside fellow signees Rondel Walker and Montreal Pena during last year's AAU circuit for the Texas Titans.

While the Cowboys won't be near as experienced as they'll be without seniors Cameron McGriff, Lindy Waters, Thomas Dziagwa and Jonathan Laurent, this team has the chance to be really good and make the NCAA tournament for the first time since 2017.

If you wanted to be a LOT more optimistic, but I'm not sure how crazy it would be, vegasinsider has the Cowboys at 35/1 to take home the national title.
