Who do you have for outright plays or regional winner plays? By no surprise, I've seen many differing opinions on "what" wins this tournament. Is it whoever comes into the tournament "hot". Is it defense, in the likes of Virginia or Cincinnati? Or offensive efficiency, like Nova or Duke. Or a solid balance of offense and defense, along with strong coaching and experience in this format, like Michigan State? Or heck, is it whichever kids get excited enough to be here and just simply play hard and have fun, and end up going deep into the tourney.
Nova +570: Any value here considering the unpredictability of the Madness? Can WVU/Wichita give Nova a scare? Is Purdue in a good position to advance to the Elite 8?
Duke +850/Michigan State +925: Quite the hurdle at this stage in the tourney, but the winner of this match-up could also make their way to the final. Does that give Kansas good value to win the Midwest considering they'll likely face the winner of Auburn/Clemson to make it to the Elite 8?
Any 5+ seeds you think have value to make it to the final 4? These aren't my plays, just noting a few.
