The Owls entered 300-1 to win the NCAA tournament. However, the other three teams here are true long shots, led by Florida Atlantic. It has steamrolled through the tournament, covering games by 17.5 points per game, the second-highest mark of any team since the field expanded to 64 teams in 1985. It would be the first team since 2016 Villanova (15-1) to win the NCAA tournament with double-digit odds. UConn entered the tournament with 15-1 odds, tied for the eighth-shortest odds with Gonzaga. That leaves 4-seed UConn as an odds-on favorite entering the Final Four. For the first time since seeding began in 1979, not a single top-three seed reached the Final Four. Perhaps the wildest tournament in NCAA history concludes Monday night.
