Now that the 2008-09 season has come to an end, the focus turns to 2009-10. RJ Bell of Pregame.com has posted the odds on teams to win next season's championship, and Kentucky has already zoomed to the top of the list after the hiring of John Calipari.
The Wildcats are listed at 14 to 1 (7%) to win the title, the same odds given to defending champion North Carolina. Then comes Duke and Louisville at 21-1 (5%), Alabama, Kansas and UCLA at 25-1 (4%) and Georgetown and Michigan State at 30-1 (3.5%)
Connecticut, Florida and Texas complete the posted odds at 37-1 (2.5%).
The odds, of course, are likely to be impacted players who leave early for a shot at NBA riches.
