Top-seeded Florida is the unsurprising favorite at -125 odds out of the region nicknamed the “region of death” by basketball media.

4 Legendary West Region Coaches Combine For 2,890 Wins, 7 Rings

Todd Golden has led the Gators to an impressive season in his third year with the team, but he’s up against a handful of the best coaches in the sport in the West. Despite Florida’s convincing -125 regional odds at legal college basketball betting sites, coaches like Rick Pitino, John Calipari, Bill Self, and Dan Hurley mean the Gators are no lock to waltz their way into the Final Four.

West Region Coaching Resumes

Coach (Team)	Wins	Tournament Appearances	Final Fours	National Championships
Rick Pitino (St. John’s)	884	23	4	2
John Calipari (Arkansas)	855	23	4	1
Bill Self (Kansas)	836	26	4	2
Dan Hurley (UConn)	315	6	2	2
Todd Golden (Florida)	127	3	0	0

Aside from Todd Golden, Rick Pitino’s 30-win squad is the only team on this list with more than 23 wins. The Gators wouldn’t have to face St. John’s until the Elite Eight and Florida would likely be favored in that game so their -125 odds to win the West are solid.
