SOUTH REGION

ASA MARCH MADNESS FUTURE BET – PLAY ILLINOIS +325 to win the South Region

This is the toughest region in our opinion.  All teams in the South Region are plus money and the top 3 seeds all sit in the top 7 of KenPom’s overall rankings. 

We feel it’s toss up between 1-see Florida, 2-seed Houston, and 3-seed Illinois, and are all within 2 points of each other on a neutral court.  Because of that, let’s grab the best odds and the Illini at +325. 

Half of the Illinois losses (4 of 8) have come in OT all vs solid NCAA teams Michigan St, UCLA, and Wisconsin (twice).  They fit the KenPom criteria (explained above) ranking 2nd in the nation in offensive efficiency and 28th defensively. 

They had some injuries during the season with starting PG Boswell and starting forward Stojakovic missing some games.  Both are back and this team is rested and healthy having played only 1 game since March 8th entering this tournament. 

The Illini have some high level numbers in a number of key metrics including 3rd nationally in offensive rebounding, 10th in offensive turnover rate, and they send opponents to the FT line at the lowest rate in the entire country. 

This is the tallest team in the country with two 7 footers and two 6’9 plus players that can all play inside and out.  They also have a top 10 NBA draft pick in Keaton Wagler, who KenPom rates as the 7th best player in the country. 

The downside is they may have to get through both Houston and Florida to get out of this Region but they are definitely capable. We hope you enjoy this March Madness Future bet.
