Philly Teams Are NCAA Tournament Longshots
By Spike Eskin
PHILADELPHIA (CBS) – La Salle, Temple, and Villanova will represent Philadelphia in the NCAA Tournament. The chances of any of them winning the whole thing however, are slim.
Villanova and Temple are both 200-1 to win the tournament, while La Salle, who would have to win one extra game to win it all, is at 500-1, per Bovada. Louisville is the favorite to win the tournament at 19-4, and James Madison, LIU Brooklyn, NC A&T and Liberty all share the honor of being the longest shot at 1000-1.
