Although this year's NCAA tournament appears to be top-heavy with talent among the 1-seeds (Gonzaga, Duke, Virginia, UNC), there is always value out in the futures market.
Here is a look at 11 teams our college basketball experts feel offer betting value in this year's field.

Gonzaga Bulldogs (+450)
Schultz: This is the most talented roster that Mark Few has had in Spokane, and it's not even close. Rui Hachimura (20.1 PPG on 60.9 percent shooting) is a matchup nightmare who can face up, post up and create off the bounce with his outstanding first step. San Jose State transfer Brandon Clarke (16.5 PPG, 8.3 RPG) is a jumping jack who can score from the midpost and perimeter, but also make a play off the bounce. And Killian Tillie -- finally healthy after enduring a foot injury -- has great touch around the basket and protects the rim with his length and timing. Zach Norvell (15.3 PPG) -- another pro -- is a burly left-handed shooting guard who can score with anyone and from just about anywhere.
