INDIANAPOLIS – The College basketball season is set to begin early on Wednesday afternoon after an extended offseason caused by the coronavirus pandemic.

College basketball was one of the first major sports betting events that that was canceled due to the pandemic as the March Madness Tournament was called off. This took a huge hit to college basketball as it is was said that they lost around $375 Million in revenue due to this.

From the sports betting perspective, the industry also took a huge hit as March Madness is easily the biggest sports betting event of the year. It was rumored that the industry lost $4 billion.

However, that is all in the past now as online sportsbooks will now see long-awaited action on the college basketball season.

They offer tons of different odds on the season such as odds on who will win the National Championship and even odds on the different conference winners as well.

Starting with the National Championship odds, Villanova is going into the season as the favorites to win after they finished last season as the number 10 ranked team in the country.

They also have the nation’s top recruiting class as well.

Aside from Villanova, there are plenty of other teams here that could make a case for the National Championship.

Virginia plays championship-caliber defense every year and Duke, who college basketball bettors know to never count out, are in the mix. Even Florida State is in contention despite having three new players in the NBA as they have been full of surprises over the past few seasons.

However, these are just a few of the many teams that bettors can look and bet on, as the NCAA Tournament odds range upward of +10000 or more.

The ACC is arguably one of the toughest if not the toughest conference in all of college basketball.

Many teams shift in and out of the top-25 all year and they are also home to some of college basketball’s biggest powerhouses. The winner of the ACC in 2019 was Florida State as they finished with the best regular-season record.

The Big 12 is shaping out to be one of the more competitive conferences this season as they have two teams that are ranked inside of the top 10 in Baylor and Kansas.

There are also other teams here that always turn up the heat come mid-season such as Texas and Texas Tech. The winners of the 2019 regular-season title were shared by Kansas State and Texas Tech who both are going in with longshot odds.

The Big 10 is one of the more competitive conferences that there is in college basketball and this year is shaping out to be no different.

There are currently three teams ranked in the top-10 in Iowa, Illinois, and Wisconsin. However, those that bet and follow the Big 10 should know to never count out either Michigan State or Michigan.
