NCAA Tournament 2016 odds: Maryland given 33-to-1 chance to win national championship

The Maryland men's basketball team has 33-to-1 odds to win the 2016 NCAA Tournament and cut down the nets at the Final Four in Houston, according to data we got from Bovada on Monday afternoon.

That gives Maryland a tie for the 12th-best odds of any team in the field, despite the Terps showing up as a No. 5 seed and dealing with an unfortunate geographic placement in the bracket. They'll start against South Dakota State in Spokane, Wash., on Friday, and winning will likely lead them to a round-of-32 game against Cal and then a Sweet 16 meeting with Kansas, the tournament's top overall seed and the closest thing this season can offer to a real favorite to win it all.
