It's not a college basketball blue blood going at the shortest price to win next year's national championship, as online sports book Bovada.LV made Maryland a 9-1 favorite on Thursday.
With dust settled from early entries to the NBA draft and most major recruiting decisions made, the University of Kentucky, Duke and North Carolina aren't far behind, all 10-1. Indiana's a co-11th pick at 25-1 with the University of Louisville 40-1.
Maryland loses Dez Wells but returns leading scorer Melo Trimble after winning a school-record 26 regular-season games last year. Incoming is big man Diamond Stone, too, who starred in the recent Derby Festival Classic game in Louisville.
