NC State's Cinderella surge as an 11-seed, stringing together upsets over Texas Tech and Marquette in the Round of 32 and Sweet 16, has spiked trader consensus on their Elite Eight breakthrough, underscoring March Madness' upset potential after an eight-game tournament win streak. Defending champs UConn remain pricing favorites after dismantling Kentucky 76-64, leveraging superior guard play and rebounding against Illinois. Purdue's Zach Edey finally clears the Sweet 16 hump versus Tennessee, fueling redemption narrative versus NC State's DJ Burns novelty. Narrow escapes like Duke's 54-51 grinder over top seed Houston and Clemson's bracket-busting wins over Baylor and Arizona elevate mid-majors, while neutral-site Elite Eight matchups prioritize momentum over seeding.
