The end of March Madness is rapidly approaching, which means the Final Four MVP odds have been released.
Unsurprisingly, Purdue’s Zach Eady, the most promising player in college basketball, is the favorite to win the award at +195 at FanDuel Sportsbook.
This is despite the Boilermakers being +190 underdogs to win the National Championship. By betting on Edy, you will receive a slight discount on the odds for the title.
Eady is followed by a quintet of hot UConn Huskies players, including Tristen Newton (+340), Donovan Clingan (+340), Cam Spencer (+500) and Stephon Castle (20/1) .
If there was a strong upset to win it all, Alabama’s Mark Sears (20/1), North Carolina State’s DJ Burns (29/1) and DJ Horn ( 37/1). region.

Technically, the winner is awarded to the player with the outstanding performance in the Final Four, but the player must realistically lead his team to a national championship.
In a vacuum, a player can put in an incredible effort and be eligible for the award even though the effort was a loss, like LeBron James did in the 2016 NBA Finals.
But Andre Iguodala still won Finals MVP despite James’ insane effort and performance.
No player has won the Final Four MVP award without winning a national championship since Hakeem Olajuwon’s standout performance in a loss to North Carolina State in 1983.
Up until then, it was semi-normal for the winner to be the runner-up, but for the first time in 30 years, the same thing has happened again.
