BetOnline has published their biggest liabilities as of Thursday afternoon coming into this year's Sweet 16.  The biggest is UConn.  That's the team that the public is on, more than double the next most wagered on team.  The books hope they get eliminated from the tournament Thursday as the liability is extended to their futures.

The line on UConn had moved from -4.5 to -3.5 at a number of books, perhaps an indication that oddsmakers believe Arkansas will win this one.

Iowa State: Are They The Underdogs To Look For In March Madness?

They may be defined as “underdogs” or “Cinderella teams”, a term that is usually saved for teams that have little to no chance of winning even a single game during the NCAA Tournament. Teams like Loyola Marymount (1990), George Mason (2006), Davidson (2008), VCU (2011), UConn (2014), and Loyola Chicago (2018) come to mind when conversations turn toward the most surprising tournament runs in recent memory.
