After both schools breezed through the first two rounds of the 2016 NCAA tournament with a pair of double-digit wins, the Big 12’s Kansas Jayhawks (32-4) and ACC’s North Carolina Tar Heels (30-6) sit atop the futures betting board to cut down the nets on April 4 at sportsbooks monitored by Odds Shark.
The Jayhawks entered the Big Dance as the +500 second choice (bet $100 to win $500) to win it all behind the Big Ten’s Michigan State Spartans (+475), who were ousted by the 15th-seeded Middle Tennessee Blue Raiders 90-81 as the No. 2 seed in the first round for one of the biggest upsets in tournament history.
