My biggest lottery ticket for March Madness was a $100 wager at 100:1 placed on Jan 5th for Penn St. I also have Villanova and Kentucky tickets as well. Wide open as suggested.
Aztecs will only have to play top talent in the tournament. Depending where they get placed can easily say elite 8 or Final 4 before really expected to see competent competition.
