500-to-1

 

Well, I just got this interesting press release via e-mail from Sportsbook.com. It has revised odds for winning the NCAA Tournament as of midway through the season. It only ranks what it considers to be the top 65 teams in the country.

And who slides in at number 64? None other than the U of P, currently a 500-1 shot to win a national title.

Other notables include three other Big 5 schools. There's Villanova, who at 10-1 odds, is the fourth most likely winner in the country -- behind Duke (2-1), UConn (9-2) and Memphis (8-1). Temple pays 300-1, while St. Joe's slides in as the 65th best team in the country at 500-1.

No other Penn opponents this season make the list. That, not surprisingly, includes all other Ivy League schools.

So, anyone want to put five bucks down on Penn?
