KU vs. Texas Tech for Saturday NCAA Basketball Championship Odds

Texas Tech Red Raiders vs. Kansas Jayhawks NCAA Basketball Betting Odds.

To begin with, Kansas will need a long time to live down their recent brawl against Kansas State. KU remains a favorite with NCAA basketball championship odds but has again been tarnished. Between the FBI tapes, the brawl and a tasteless Midnight Madness production have Kansas lost much respect. However, the Jayhawks are still in the black on the board this season. Texas Tech is in the red as a team that may have overachieved to make the Final Four last spring. Defense remains the calling card of head coach Chris Beard’s Red Raiders.
