College Basketball Betting Odds & Lines
Two years after the first-ever canceled NCAA Tournament and one year after the first-ever NCAA Tournament was played in one state, college basketball is returning to normalcy as Baylor seeks to defend their national championship.
With the addition of St. Thomas and the return of all Ivy League teams and several teams that opted out of the 2020-21 season, 358 teams will compete in the 2021-22 season, giving fans thousands of opportunities to bet online with spreads, parlays, teasers, and more.
Sixty-eight of those teams will earn bids in the 2022 NCAA Tournament, with Selection Sunday (on March 13) setting the stage for 67 games in 13 different cities over three weeks.
Last year, several contenders were eliminated in an opening weekend filled with madness, including three Big Ten teams that entered March with Final Four hopes, en route to breaking the 1986 record for the highest average seed (5.88) in the Sweet 16. And with Virginia ousted by Ohio in the First Round, there wasn’t a repeat national champion for the 13th consecutive tournament. Not since Florida won back-to-back championships in 2006 and 2007 has a team joined the Gators and five other programs (UCLA, Cincinnati, San Francisco, Kentucky, and Duke) as the only back-to-back champions in NCAA history.
A lot has changed in NCAA basketball since Virginia cut down the nets in Minneapolis in April 2019. More than 100 programs have changed coaches in the last two years, and one program left for Division II (Savannah State). UConn headlined seven college hoops teams that changed conferences, and five teams joined Division I, including St. Thomas after their jump from Division III.
