Florida vs Alabama odds for the SEC title game signifies the impending end of the college football season, which means basketball will soon take center stage in the NCAA. Before you start figuring out who your NCAA basketball betting pick will be for the “Big Dance”, refresh your memory with a list of the top five memories from last year’s Tournament.

1) Wayne Ellington getting the MOP over Ty Lawson

Ellington had a good Final Four and all, but the one thing I’ll remember most about North Carolina’s championship last year is the feeling of confusion I had when they gave the Most Outstanding Player award to Ellington and not Ty Lawson, who was the engine that made the high-powered Tar Heels go. Lawson had 22 points, eight assists and seven boards in the Final Four game against Villanova, and then 21 points, six assists and eight steals (an NCAA title game record) in the clinching game against Michigan State. The Tar Heels would have stood a better NCAA basketball betting chance without Ellington than they did without Lawson, who missed the first game with a sprained ankle.

2) More troubles for the No.5 seed

When going to your online sportsbook for the first round of the Tournament, you have to know that No.5 seeds have a major problem with the No.12s, beating them only 66% of the time. Three No.5s went down last year (Arizona over Utah, Wisconsin over Florida State and Western Kentucky over Illinois), and even Purdue had trouble in a tight win over Northern Iowa. So next year, if your team is a No.5 seed, say a prayer and stay away from their NCAA basketball betting odds.

3) Biggest Upset of the Tournament

No.11 Dayton was a 10-point NCAA basketball betting underdog in your online sportsbook against No.6 West Virginia, but Chris Wright had a huge day with 27 points and 10 boards, while the Flyers held the Mountaineers to 36.7% from the floor in a 68-60 upset. Dayton then went on to get defeated by Kansas in the next round.

4) Best Game of the Tournament

No.3 Villanova met Big East rival and top-seeded Pitt in the East regional final, and it was a typically physical affair. The difference was Scottie Reynolds’ layup with one second left on the clock to seal a 78-76 win for the Wildcats. Villanova would go on to lose to North Carolina in the Final Four, but not without adding another chapter in the book of NCAA Tournament last-second finishes.

5) “One Shining Moment”

It has nothing to do with NCAA basketball betting, but “One Shining Moment” is annually the best three minutes of the Tournament, and it’s hard to imagine the championship game without it. Even internet betting players have to get choked up about it.
