BetOnline has published their biggest liabilities as of Thursday afternoon coming into this year's Sweet 16.  The biggest is UConn.  That's the team that the public is on, more than double the next most wagered on team.  The books hope they get eliminated from the tournament Thursday as the liability is extended to their futures.

The line on UConn had moved from -4.5 to -3.5 at a number of books, perhaps an indication that oddsmakers believe Arkansas will win this one.
