Should UMBC happen to win the 2018 NCAA Men's College Basketball Championship, the payout would be a staggering $500,000 for every $100 bet at SportsBetting.ag.
UMBC became the first number 16 seed to beat a number 1 seed and the odds-on favorite to win the Championship title to boot.
Maryland-Baltimore County stunned the college basketball world by pulling off the most shocking upset in sports history, let alone Men’s College Basketball.
But UMBC didn’t just beat Virginia, it dominated throughout the second half. Senior guard Jairus Lyles scored 28 points and the Retreivers cruised to an easy victory before racing off the floor together in their yellow-and-black uniforms with one finger pointed toward the sky.
“These are the moments that you dream of,” Lyles said.
Chaminade’s 77-72 stunner over Ralph Sampson and then No. 1-ranked Cavaliers in 1982 in Hawaii was generally considered the most remarkable upset in college basketball history.
Of all the College Basketball teams appearing in this year's Big Dance, UMBC had the longest odds of winning it all coming into the tournament.
“Unbelievable — it’s really all you can say,” UMBC coach Ryan Odom said.
