We’ve already been thumping the college basketball tub for Memphis, sitting quietly on the March Madness futures market at 10-1 despite their likely No. 1 preseason ranking. But who else is lurking in the weeds?

How about those other Tigers from Missouri? They’re a team on the rise, from 12-16 (6-16-1 ATS) in 2005 to 18-12 (10-13 ATS) last year. Pretty much everyone is back for another go around, and while a national title is a lot to ask at 100-1, frequent trips to the pay window could be in order.

Out west, the Washington State Cougars are a little bit closer to the Promised Land at 30-1, and they’ve helped assure themselves some anonymity by pulling out of the Great Alaska Shootout. That’ll bite them in the ass come Selection Sunday, but assuming Wazzu doesn’t stumble in remaining non-con games, there should be more money down the road in the Pac-10.
