How Do Big Favorites Perform in Final Four? History Says Not Great

UConn has been destroying the field in the 2024 NCAA Tournament, looking eerily similar to the 2023 version.

The Huskies have covered in every game dating back to the beginning of last year’s NCAA Tournament title, now 10 games in a row, and oddsmakers can’t catch up to the dominance this team is showcasing on the floor.

However, as the team enters Saturday’s Final Four matchup against Alabama, the team will have to overcome some history, being a double digit favorite and covering.

According to Action Network, no double digit favorite in the NCAA Tournament Final Four has covered a point spread north of double digits, only one pushed the closing number.
