1 potential Cinderella from each region of the 2024 NCAA men's basketball tournament
By now, you’ve surely heard about how much parity there is in college basketball and how that could make for yet another unpredictable tournament. In order for that to happen, though, a team or two have to emerge as a Cinderella from the field of 68, and pull off a couple upsets to make us start paying attention.
Last year, we saw 9-seed Florida Atlantic ride that type of wave all the way to a Final Four that also included two other teams making their first ever appearance in the national semifinals. Princeton also made a nice run to the Sweet 16 as a 15-seed.
So, who might that team be in this year’s field? These are the best bets from each region, with title odds from BetMGM, and a few honorable mentions.
