Fans of the Arizona Wildcats woke up with plenty of questions on Monday. The first was wondering if what they watched Sunday night was real, or if it was just a bad dream? The next was how it impacted the Arizona Wildcats March Madness odds for winning the national championship.
They quickly realized Sunday’s game was all too real, but the good news is that the Wildcats held off TCU 85-80 in overtime. It wasn’t pretty, but it was enough to reach the Sweet 16 regardless.
And in a tournament where “survive and advance” is all that matters, there are no style points for blowout victories. There are no pollsters to impress, either, when the calendar strikes March.
The only thing that matters is winning the next four games. Anything short of four more wins will dull some of the luster from a spectacular regular season for the Wildcats.
Up next for the No. 1 seed in the South Region is Thursday night’s matchup with No. 5 Houston. In the earlier matchup in San Antonio’s AT&T Center, No. 2 seed Villanova will meet No. 11 Michigan. Both games will be televised by TBS, with Arizona’s game set for a 6:59 p.m. MT tipoff.
Here’s a look at the odds for Thursday’s game as of Tuesday morning, as well as updated futures odds on the Wildcats for Arizona sports bettors.

Arizona’s Odds To Win South Region
As a No. 1 seed, the Wildcats are obviously the favorites to win the region, but the South Region isn’t expected to be a cakewalk according to the oddsmakers.

Arizona +135
Houston +175
