5. Kansas +1500

Kansas checks almost all of the boxes that you look for in picking a March Madness winner. They are extremely efficient on both sides of the ball, they crash the offensive glass hard, and they are yet again running through the Big 12 and are currently in first place in the conference.

They do have room for improvement with their free throw shooting, as they currently shoot 71.9%. They also need to focus on valuing possession, as they have a surprisingly bad turnover rate of 20.8%.

All things considered, Bill Self and his team are in position to win another Big-12 regular-season title. They get tremendous production from multiple players on this roster, in particular Ochai Agbaji. Agbaji is averaging 20.0 PPG while shooting 50.3% from the field and an outstanding 43.7% from deep.

At +1500 odds, I definitely like the value you can get with this pick.
