Odds that USC makes Final Four, wins national championship

With 16 teams left in the field, the odds-makers at www.SportsBettingDime.com give South Carolina the second longest odds (66-1) to win the national championship, ahead of only Xavier (75-1). The Gamecocks are listed at 12/1 to make the Final Four.

Kansas (8/1) and UNC (25/3) the best odds on winning it all.

And, despite having the best odds of making the Final Four from their region (13/7), Florida has the longest odds of the four favorites to win it all (12/1).

Despite each sending three teams to the Sweet 16, the odds-makers favor a champion coming from the Big 12 (13/4) or Pac 12 (11/3) over the SEC (14/3) or Big 10 (13/2).
