Odds to win the 2010 NCAA Men's Basketball Championship: The 2009 Final Four came down to Michigan State beating Connecticut 82-73 and North Carolina winning big of Villanova 83-69 setting up a men’s final of the Tar Heels vs. Spartans. Roy William’s North Carolina team started the season ranked No. 1 and ended as National Champions overtaking the Michigan State Spartans 89-72. This is the fifth NCAA Men’s Basketball Championship for the Tar Heels. NCAA Basketball Odds makers at sportsbook Bodog.com have the Michigan State Spartans 13-1, UConn Huskies 15-1, Villanova Wildcats 30-1, and North Carolina Tar Heels 8-1 odds to win the NCAA 2010 National Championship.
The title is no longer particularly accurate. In 2005, the NCAA voted to allow “Midnight Madness” events to start at 7:00 PM local time on the Friday closest to October 15th citing safety concerns and the fact that older fans weren't too jazzed about staying out until 2am. But as so often happens with any NCAA regulation, one coach has found a loophole. The University of Kentucky, citing an NCAA regulation that allows for two hours' of on-court instruction per week prior to the official start of practice, received permission to stage “Big Blue Madness” a week early on October 10. NCAA Basketball Odds makers at sportsbook Bodog.com have the Kentucky Wildcats 5-1 odds to win the NCAA 2010 National Championship. The season officially tips off on November 17th with St. Peter's and Monmouth will play a 6 a.m. game as part of ESPN's "College Basketball Tip-off Marathon" coverage. The Nov. 17 matchup will be played at the Yanitelli Center in Jersey City. It will be among 19 games shown over a 24-hour period on ESPN and its related networks. This is the second year ESPN will produce the marathon, but the first time that a game will be played in the 6 a.m. EST time slot. These teams can be bet at sportsbook Bodog.com which have the Field (any other team) 75-1 odds to win the NCAA 2010 National Championship. Some perennial basketball teams that are likely to make the Final Four in 2010 held April 3 and 5, 2010 at Lucas Oil Stadium in Indianapolis, Indiana and hosted by Butler University or the Horizon League. NCAA Basketball Odds makers at sportsbook Bodog.com have the Kansas Jayhawks 4-1, Duke Blue Devils 10-1, Texas Longhorns 12-1, and Syracuse Orange 13-1 odds to win the NCAA 2010 National Championship.

The NCAA Men’s Basketball Season kicks off with “Midnight Madness” which refers to a massive pep rally that many schools hold on the first day of basketball practice in mid-October. Several big programs began staging a big public practice, usually punctuated with a slam dunk contest, a scrimmage and lots of cheerleaders and dancers and loud music, at the earliest possible time permitted by the NCAA 12:00 AM on the Saturday closest to October 15th and "Midnight Madness" was born.
