The South Region was hit hard by upsets in the first two rounds of the 2018 NCAA Tournament, with seventh-seeded Nevada and 11th-seeded Loyola-Chicago providing much of the drama as two surviving underdogs.
On Thursday, the Wolf Pack will tip off the Sweet 16 betting action against the Ramblers at Philips Arena in Atlanta as 1.5-point favorites on the March Madness odds at sportsbooks monitored by OddsShark.com.
Nevada rallied back from a 22-point deficit on Sunday to stun second-seeded Cincinnati, 75-73, after defeating 10th-seeded Texas, 87-83, in overtime last Friday. The Wolf Pack closed as an underdog both times, just like the Ramblers, who edged sixth-seeded Miami, 64-62, last Thursday on a buzzer-beating three-pointer from Donte Ingram before taking out third-seeded Tennessee, 63-62, on another last-second shot by Clayton Custer on Saturday.
