Who longshot betting fans should be paying close attention to, however, is another Zags forward in Drew Timme. Timme has the second shortest odds to win at +500 and is coming off of a 30 point explosion against the Oklahoma Sooners, leading both teams in points.
On the season, Timme averaged 18.8 PPG n 65.5% shooting from the field. The sophomore is the second option on the stacked Gonzaga team.
If Timme continues this play, he may be able to overtake Kispert as the team’s leading scorer before the tournament is done, possibly swaying votes in his favor.
Jared Butler of the Baylor Bears is also a key player sports betting fans should look to place action on. Timme and Kispert may cancel one another out in terms of voting, which could work in Butler’s favor.
Butler is currently averaging 16.8 PPG on 49.5% shooting and 44.0% from the field. Butler is also made the AP First-Team all-Americans alongside Kispert.

If Baylor makes in further than Gonzaga in the tournament, or if Kispert and Timme split voters, Butler could wind up being a major upset at USA online sportsbooks.
Taking action on these players while their odds are still long is the best way to cash in big wagering on this betting line.
