Odds to win NCAA Tournament entering Sweet 16 image

With just 16 teams left in the NCAA Tournament, William Hill and other sports books have shrunk odds on each of cutting down the nets two Monday's from now in Houston.

North Carolina and Kansas are the current favorites, with Virginia shortly behind. Syracuse (+4.5 vs. Gonzaga), Wisconsin (+1.5 vs. Notre Dame) and Notre Dame are still the longest shots at 50-to-1.

Needing just four more wins to capture a national title, odds are down significantly from their openers last spring. William Hill also listed each team's longest odds, which can be fun to look at, but really just make bettors regret not grabbing juicy numbers when they had the chance (though really, who was going to bet Syracuse on March 13 when it looked like it would miss the tournament or Wisconsin on Jan. 31 when it was 13-9).
