Don’t bet against Zion Williamson in the NCAA Tournament

By ADAM ZAGORIA

Don’t bet against Zion Williamson in this NCAA Tournament.

He’s already defied the odds.

After missing five games to close out the regular season because of a knee sprain, the 6-foot-7, 285-pound phenom roared back to score 81 points in three games en route to ACC Tournament MVP honors.

Now entering the Big Dance, you can get 6/1 odds via MyTopSportsbooks.com on whether Williamson will be named Most Outstanding Player of the Final Four.

Another prop bet involving Williamson revolves around whether he’ll score over/under 101 points in the Big Dance. Considering he just went for 81 in three games in the ACCS, it doesn’t seem to far-fetched to imagine him going for 101 across four, five or six games if Duke makes the run many expect them to.

They are the No. 1 overall seed and there sure is plenty of curiosity surrounding Williamson.  Nearly 600 media members are credentialed for Columbia, S.C., Where Duke opens on Thursday.
