2009 West Regional: Sportsbooks Have Connecticut and Memphis as Co-Favorites

Need help in picking your NCAA Tournament Brackets? Certainly the oddsmakers do it for a living and have posted odds to win the West Region, not to mention a betting line for each regional.

Most experts said there were five teams battling for the four top spots and the sportsbooks seem to agree. The one regional that had two of the consensus top five teams, the West Region has Connecticut and Memphis as the co-favorites to win the 2009 NCAA West Region championship. Each team is 1-1.

Third seeded Missouri is 11-2, followed by Washington at 13-2 and Purdue at 8/1. Joe “Maverick” Clements of BetOnSports360.com won’t be wagering on the Huskies as he predicts that No. 13 seed Miss State knocks them off in the first round. Mississippi State in fact is 30-1 to go to the Final 4.

Once considered a frontrunner, Marquette slides in at 15-1. “The Eagles had perhaps the nation’s best backcourt, but point guard Dominic James is out for the year,” says Brian Gould of ScoresOddsPicks.com, saying the injury has doomed Marquette‘s once realistic hopes to win the Big Dance.

BYU is 18-1, followed by dark horse California at 24-1. “They are efficient with the ball, lead the nation in three-point shooting and have the best coach nobody talks about in Mike Montgomery,” asserts Bob Warner, betting expert of Lines-Maker.com. Warner believes the Bears are the best long shot of the tournament.  

Maryland and Maryland are the only two teams less than 60-1 as each is 35-1 to wear the glass slipper.
