Agree to disagree, quality is on WSUs side .. I have data to back that up.

KenPom 8 vs 36
Sagarin 11 vs 40
LRMC 6 vs 51
BPI 15 vs 36

Vegas has WSU as 6.5 favorites ..

Some odds on winning the National Title from my sports book
Kansas 8-1
Kentucky 8-1
UNC 7-1
UCLA 10-1
Creigh 75-1
WSU 75-1
Daytn 150-1
Duke 7-1
OSU 150-1
Mich St 150-1

No huge favorite this year. The interesting thing is that they had the teams listed in order of their S=Curve
and WSU sticks out like a sore thumb at #38 and 75-1 and everyone 10 spots ahead of WSU are 150-250/1. We need to beat Dayton or the committee gets to say they were right.

I am very surprised that WSU opened as a 6.5 point favorite. Dayton is a very experienced team that has experience, talent, and is finally healthy at the end of this year. I know they lost to Davidson in the A 10 tourney but Davidson would probably be the 2nd best team in the valley. The hardest part for WSU is probably how much better the competition was for Dayton in conference. I think either one can give Kentucky a real run for their money.

I don't think we have been an underdog in Vegas at all this season...doesn't mean we cant lose but that's a big spread.

We have been favored by Vegas every game this year. We would be a slight dog vs Kentucky.
