Men’s 2012 NCAA Basketball National Championship Odds and Predictions – Favorites and Vegas Lines to Win 2012 NCAA National Title: Vegas odds to win the 2011-2012 Men’s College Basketball NCAA National Championship are now posted on NSAwins.com and the vegas linemakers have installed Roy Williams’s North Carolina Tar Heels the +200 favorite to win the 2011-2012 National Title. Williams has already captured two National Championships at North Carolins and his upcoming Tar Heels team will be stacked heading into the 2011-12 season with Harrison Barnes, Tyler Zeller and Johns Hensonall returning to give the Heels arguably the best front line in the nation. Williams has also landed a big-time recruiting class to bring to Chapel Hill for the 2011-2012 season headlined by standout 5 star recruits in forward James McAdoo(Rivals.com #8 rated prospect) and forward P.J. Hairston(Rivals.com #14 rated prospect). The Tar Heels were just one game away from the Final Four last season losing a close game to Kentucky in the Elite 8 and a rematch with the Wildcats in the 2012 Final Four is a strong possibility. There should be no doubt that North Carolina will enter the 2011-2012 season as the preseason #1 ranked team barring any injuries or unforseen changes to their roster.
John Calipari’s Kentucky Wildcats are a +650 favorite to win the National Title at the 2012 Final Four in New Orleans, Louisiana at the Louisiana Superdome. Kentucky should be the preseason #2 ranked team heading into the 2011-12 College Basketball season with super sophomore Terrance Jones deciding to take his name out of the NBA Draft and return to Lexington for his sophomore season. The 6-foot-8 Southeastern Conference Freshman of the Year poured in 15.7 points and ripped down team-high 8.8 rebounds last season for the Wildcats and would have been a top 10 pick in the NBA Draft according to many experts. In addition to the return of Jones, the Wildcats will also welcome four new 5 star recruits onto their roster in guard Marquis Teague(Rivals.com #2 ranked prospect), forward Mike Gilchrist(Rivals.com #3 ranked prospect), forward Anthony Davis(Rivals.com #6 ranked prospect) and forward Kyle Wiltjer(#25 ranked prospect). It’s a safe bet to say that the Wildcats will be in strong shape to return the the Final Four in 2012 and could be the last team standing if the new recruits live up to the hype.
Another team that will certainly be ranked in the preseason Top 5 and have a great chance to win the 2012 National Championship are the Ohio State Buckeyes(+800 odds) with big man Jared Sullinger returning for his sophomore season. Sullinger will most likely be the favorite to win the 2012 John Wooden Award with his decision to return for the 2011-12 season as he decided to forego millions of dollars in being a sure fire Top 5 NBA Draft pick to stay on campus in Columbus. The Buckeyes will be losing some key players off of their outstanding 2011 team but the mere presence of Sullinger automatically makes the Buckeyes a favorite to reach the 2012 Final Four in our eyes.
The 2011 National Champions, the Uconn Huskies, were initially a favorite to win the 2012 National Title at +1200 odds but have since dropped to +2500 odds with Kemba Walker’s decision to enter the 2011 NBA Draft. Uconn Huskies fans needed Kemba Walker to return for his senior season to have a serious shot at a repeat but also need to hope head coach Jim Calhoun decides to pass on retiring and return to Storrs to continue building for a run at a 4th National Championship in his Hall of Fame coaching career. The Huskies won with a very young team in 2011 and improvement from all those young players should be a given which would make the 2011-2012 Uconn team still an extremely dangerous out come Tournament time.
