I expect we'll be a 1-2 point favorite by the time the game tips tonight. Have we ever seen a scenerio where a Top 15-20 ranked team is fully healthy and an under dog to an "unranked" team on a neutral court?

Yes, all the time. UNC was a 3.5 point favorite last night against Va Tech.
Stuff like this pretty much solidifies that rankings are a pretty useless measure aside from national notoriety, which obviously is a good thing to have. I have also seen Uconn having somewhere between the 10th-14th best odds to win the ncaa tourney across several betting sites, so this further shows that Vegas obviously knows what's up, and the top 25 rankings are meaningless at this point in the year. As a fan, I am still rooting to see Uconn be in the rankings on Monday though.

My boy went to Vegas right before we played nova. UConn was +5500 to win ncaas. Bunch of us wanted to throw down a couple hundred. We just didn’t pull trigger. The idea was after the second round , hedge ourselves the rest of the tourney. At least come away with a couple Gs

Uconn was +150,000 before the season started i think at a Rhode Island casino and I wanted to go over and drop 500 or so but THEY WERE CLOSED, SMH.

There is no way on earth this was their price. I got 70-1 before the season, which is +7000. You basically just said you saw them at 15,000-1. A $500 bet would have paid $7.5 million. You’d have broke the casino.

They were never that price, but teams were to start the season. Withrop was +250000 to start the year.

Being the recipients of some new hardware, they should be

I hear you. But that's Winthrop, not UConn. And that's 2,500-1, not 15,000-1.
