Last year, #7 seeded UConn won the NCAA March Madness Tournament. Their odds going in the tournament were at 100 to 1. Now the defending champions are on the bubble to even make the tournament. As of February 26th, the Kentucky Wildcats are still undefeated at a school best 28-0 and a heavy favorite to run the table with 7 to 2 odds.The tournament totaled over 181 million viewers across all devices.

Personally, I do not believe that Kentucky will win the tournament unless they lose a game before the “Big Dance” because no team has went undefeated and won the tourney since the 1976 Indiana Hoosiers. And before that was the 1973 and 1972 UCLA Bruins teams. The team with the highest odds after the Cats are Arizona and Wisconsin at 9 to 1. While no number 1 seed has lost to a 16 seed in the first round, last year Duke, was upset in the first round by way of #15 seeded Mercer. Maybe we will see the record for highest combined seeds for a title game broken again, as it was last year with #7 UConn and #8 Kentucky. There are so many scenarios during March Madness we will never know what we will see during the 2015 NCAA Division 1 Men’s Basketball Tournament.
