North Carolina, Villanova, and Oklahoma all held odds of 20-1 or better to win at the beginning of the tournament, so those programs making Final Four runs comes as no surprise. Syracuse is a different animal, and any bettor laying money on the Orange at the start of tournament play could be in line for a major payday.
A controversial inclusion in the field with an underwhelming resume, Jim Boeheim's crew was a 300-1 underdog to capture the national title before the tournament began.
