2010 March Madness Picks: Who Will Win The 2010 NCAA Tournament?

The 2010 NCAA Tournament is so wide open making it just as hard predicting who might win these Round 1 match-ups let alone predicting who will cut the nets down in April. The folks on ESPN’s Bracketology program all seem to be enamored with either Kansas or Kentucky, but we at Touthouse.com believe a handful of other squads are fully capable of pulling off the feat. Here’s a look at some of the less popular selections to shock the March Madness betting public. Who will win the 2010 NCAA Tournament?

1) Ohio State Buckeyes (+1200 Click here to Bet) – The Big 10 Tournament champs head into the NCAA Tournament off a sensational 90-61 beat down of the Minnesota Golden Gophers as short 3.5-point favorites. The victory was the teams seventh in a row, and they went 4-3 ATS during that stretch. Head Coach Thad Matta’s club isn’t the deepest in the country, but what it does boast is the nation’s best player in the form of Evan Turner. His 20.3 points per game paced the Buckeyes offensively who rank 5th in FG percentage (49.6%) and 62nd in points scored (74.2 PPG). They’re also very solid defensively allowing an average of just 61.2 points per game, while limiting foes to just 41.1 percent from the field (#68). This club lost most of its games this season when Turner was out with an injury. Since he returned to action, the Buckeyes won 17 of their L/20 games. Look for this #2 seed to make some noise in the Midwest bracket.

2) Kansas State Wildcats (+2000 Click here to Bet) – Yes, the Wildcats came up short once again against in-state rival Kansas in the Big 12 Tournament Championship Game, but don’t let that loss fool you. Head Coach Frank Martin has a very solid squad at his disposal that clearly has the weapons at hand to make a deep run into this tournament. If you subtract the three losses incurred against the Jayhawks, Kansas State went 26-4 SU on the year. This club was placed in a wide open bracket where we expect a number of crazy things to occur over the next couple weeks. They’re led by a pair of gamers in guard’s Jacob Pullen and Denis Clemente, and they have the “Bigs” that can match up with some of the best in the country. The gritty Mean Green will fight them to the end, and BYU could present a major task in Round 2, but if they get passed those two we really like their chances against anyone they’ll meet in the Sweet 16 and beyond.

3) Georgetown Hoyas (>+2000 Click here to bet) – All we see is green when looking at the return on Head Coach John Thompson III’s Hoyas! I’ll take what I see to be one of the best teams in the entire field at 20/1 any day of the week! This club was just a couple seconds away from knocking off South Florida, Syracuse, Marquette, and West Virginia in one of the toughest conference’s tournaments this past weekend. The club is highly efficient at the offensive end of the court coming in ranked 4th in FG percentage (49.8%), and it surrenders an average of just 65.1 PPG defensively (#88). With G Austin Freeman leading the scoring charge (16.7 PPG), G Chris Wright chiming in with 14+ and four assists per game, and C Greg Monroe hauling down 9.5 rebounds per game and dominating the paint (1.5 blocks per game), the Hoyas certainly have the recipe to succeed in this Dance.
