Purdue is Team Beat

College basketball season is officially underway and while we are still sorting out the country, sports bettors keep an eye on the NCAA Tournament and some valuable bets to make on the Case market. future coin.

Every week here at BetSided we’ll rank the top 25

Here’s how things went after the first few weeks of implementation. All of the odds listed through WynnBET.

The vibrant side have dominated this season, including a win over top 10 rival Villanova on a neutral pitch.

This is arguably the most dynamic team Matt Painter has ever assembled in West Lafayette, with future Jaden Ivey drawn at guard, 7’4″ Zach Edey down low and veteran striker Trevion Williams acting as the a swiss army knife.

Zags were knocked out by Duke in the neutral ring, knocking them out of the #1 spot, but the team is still favored by bookmakers to knock the net, and it’s fair to see why.

Drew Timme will feature all season for the Wood Award and Chet Holmgren has been a monster in defence as a freshman, hitting a tackle rate of 14.1%.

Mark Few’s team is still #1 by KenPom’s standards, so don’t worry if you’re a Zags supporter.

Wait? Duke beat Gonzaga on the neutral floor with impressive fashion and Kentucky on opening night? Shouldn’t they be number 1?

Maybe, but I’m pausing before investing in the Duke title bet. This is still a relatively young roster that needs to prove they can find a reliable roster outside (180th nationally). While freshmen Paolo Banchero and Trevor Keels return early, I need a larger sample size before placing them ahead of Purdue and Gonzaga.

You can group this floor in any order, but I still like what I’ve seen from Jay Wright’s team so far. The team lost a heartbreaking game en route to UCLA earlier this season and took the lead for most of the second half against Purdue on the neutral floor.

The team ranks third in Ken Pom’s offensive effectiveness stat and has Brandon Slater patrolling the top of the expanded combo. With Collin Gillespie looking healthy, Nova is ready for a deep March.

This team is still very elite, even after losing several key contributors to the team last season. The Bears have gone to the Bahamas and control all three opponents, including Michigan State in a table sweep and look set to enter a tournament for another Big 12 Championship.

The team ranked sixth in KenPom’s offensive efficiency and fifth in defense, overturning the opponent with the highest three.

James Akinjo looked great as the main ball handler for the Bears and the likes of LJ Cryer and Jeremy Sochan came into the shootout very well. Don’t sleep with Scott Drew’s team.

The Jayhawks lost to Dayton in Celebration, but don’t let that fool you, this is a threat that lingers in the Big 12.

Ochai Agbaji is playing the best ball of his four-year career for Bill Self, hitting a three-point 41% rate at career-high.

With big man David McCormack bringing the curtain down, KU will always be in the mix for a top seed, but the roster needing to integrate Remy Martin at point guard, that remains a concern.

After losing to Gonzaga early on the road, everyone left Chris Beard’s team, but we’re waiting for the right moment to hit them in the Futures market.

The Longhorns are 17th in offensive efficiency and 24th in defense, according to KenPom, despite finishing third in consecutive minutes.

It will take some time to get the likes of Timmy Allen, Marcus Carr, Tre Mitchell and the rest to move to gel, but Beard is one of the best tacticians in the sport. Believe him.

Former Gonzaga head coach Tommy Lloyd succeeded in his first season with the Wildcats, lifting the team to 16th place in KenPom’s overall rating and scoring 18 points against Michigan a week and a half ago. .

Zona plays fast, has a top 20 tempo, and moves the ball better than any team in the country, assisting with nearly 75% of saves.

On the other hand, the team of incredible length, stopping opponents, keeping them below 36% on two-point attempts so far this season, is the second-best team in the nation.

Here is a complete list to follow in PAC-12.

UCLA was put in their place last week against Gonzaga, losing 83-63 in a game they never played. While the roster has sharp ADCs like Johnny Juzang and Jaime Jaquez, the team’s lack of fitness has shown against Zags.

Transfer giants Myles Johnson has no chance against the likes of Holmgren and Timme; The group is eagerly awaiting the return of Cody Riley.

UCLA is still elite, but overrated compared to last year’s Finalists, and we’re still waiting for the market to correct itself.

So far, Florida has outperformed expectations by a ton, beating Florida State and Ohio State this season, posting elite defensive points. Futures markets may be late to correct Mike White’s team early.

Connecticut and Auburn played in one of the wildest games of the year, and I’m excited about Auburn’s future this season as they await the return of main contributor Allen Flannigan despite losing the game. .

Tennessee had a tackle on freshman Kennedy Chandler, which improved the team’s offensive power quite a bit, moving up to 32nd in KenPom’s offensive efficiency after finishing last season at 85. However, the team was blown away by Villanova earlier this season.

BYU has recorded two impressive PAC 12 wins, beating Oregon and Utah by forehand and has a strong lead handler in Alex Barcello, who has the eighth-best offensive rating in the country.

Arkansas has all the other Elite Eight achievements running with 30th best offense and 23rd best defense, according to KenPom. The team had tons of lengths to clean the glass at both ends, but needed to round to the form from the circumference, shooting from the outside of the arc down to less than 30%.

Michigan had lofty expectations after bringing in the No. 1 team and bringing in some key contributions from the Elite Eight last year, but stumbled, losing at home to Seton Hall and losing to Arizona 18 times.

While I hope Juwan Howard will carry his team through as the Big Ten heats up, they need to be disqualified due to a slow start.

Memphis’ flaws were on full display against Iowa State last weekend, losing 78-59. The team is at the bottom of the table in terms of revenue percentage and is playing a bit too crazy for their own good. While the team is packed with talent like freshman stars Jalen Duren and Emoni Bates, it can take some time to perfect.
