The Drake curse continued over the weekend as Jake Paul blamed his loss to Tommy Fury on the music mogul.
The Drake Bulldogs, positioned as favorites in the Missouri Valley Conference tournament, are probably hoping Drake (the human) doesn’t wager on them this week. Bradley has the second-best odds and the tourney begins March 2.
SportsBetting has released odds for many of the mid-major conference tournaments that are scheduled to start this week.
Gonzaga, who has been favored at the outset of every West Coast Conference tournament since the 2017 season, is NOT favored this year. Saint Mary’s and Gonzaga split their season series, and they are ranked No. 15 and No. 12 in the AP Poll, respectively.
Looking at the list below, the WCC is likely the only conference that will get two teams into the NCAA Tournament. Should Oral Roberts lose in the conference championship, it may also receive an at-large bid.
