These three great athletes play for two of the best NCAA basketball teams in the country. So, their head-to-head matchup will be key in determining who wins the MVP.
March Madness MVP Odds Favorites
March Madness MVP odds show three clear favorites:
Adama Sanogo
The Huskies currently lead March Madness odds to win the tournament. However, they must first get past No.5 Miami to make the final game. That victory depends on what Adama Sanogo can do. Sanogo leads the field for tournament MVP with +200 odds. While there is some variation across sportsbooks, Sanogo leads March Madness bets for this year’s MVP.
The big man, standing 6’9″, has lived up to his reputation averaging 17.1 points and 7.5 rebounds per match. Sanogo has racked up double-digit scoring in every tournament game while adding at least eight rebounds in his team’s four games so far.
He added six assists against Gonzaga, making him an all-around threat. There is no question the Huskies would not have climbed this year’s college basketball standings without him.
Jordan Hawkins
Sanogo’s teammate Jordan Hawkins has been instrumental in UConn’s run this year. Hawkins has provided the talented point guard championship teams need, including leadership and reliability in the backcourt.
Hawkins’s 16.3 points per game and 40.7% shooting from the field have made him a persistent danger. He’s scored 20 points or more in back-to-back contests, further adding speculation to this March Madness MVP odds.
Hawkins is a possible first-round pick in this year’s NBA draft. Taking home the MVP award will further cement his position among the top ten first-round picks.
Jordan Miller
Jordan Miller has been the key piece in Miami’s tournament run. His 27 points in the contest against Texas in the Elite Eight proved Miller belongs among the field’s best players.
He will need another big matchup in one of the biggest NCAA basketball games today to solidify his position as the presumptive tournament MVP. If Miami can surpass UConn, Miller will be a virtual lock for the award.
March Madness MVP Odds Betting Pick
Ultimately, the March Madness MVP will boil down to Miami or UConn players. While San Diego State and Florida Atlantic have talented athletes, they lack the star power of Miami and UConn.
Unless Sanogo, Hawkins, or Miller land on the college basketball injury report, the only thing that could hurt their chances is a poor performance in the Final Four.
March Madness MVP betting pick: Sanogo should take the MVP as UConn rides his strong play to the national title.
