One of the best parts of the college basketball season is making it to March and seeing those little-discussed teams rise from nowhere to make a Cinderella run. Undoubtedly, the bracket-busters are nightmarish for most bettors, but the magic and journey of these underdogs create unforgettable moments for the sport. More times than not, Cinderella comes from a mid-major; think Gordon Hayward’s Butler Bulldogs, Jamie Skeen’s VCU Rams and Clayton Custer’s Loyola Ramblers. So we decided to take a look at this year’s mid-majors and find which of the teams have the best odds at stamping their ticket to New Orleans.
However, before we dive into it, it should be known that Memphis, Gonzaga and Wichita State were excluded from the list since we consider the American Athletic Conference not to be a mid-major conference. The Zags’ projection needs no mentioning.
