North Carolina-Arkansas Odds to Win the Tournament

North Carolina … 40/1

Arkansas … 100/1

North Carolina and Arkansas each have NCAA Tournament championships recently, well the Heels have, at least, winning in 2005 and 2009. The Razorbacks won in 1994.

Carolina has the talent and potential, but often fails to bring the “A” game each time. And that’s dangerous when playing in a one-and-done tournament.
