When was the last time that a team...

Of the final 4 teams UCONN I think had an 8% chance based on oddsmakers

I think it was 8 to 1, but that was the lowest of the 4 teams.

The only game in which we were favored was the first vs St. Joe's. We were -4.
Then, in succession:
vs Nova (+3.5)
vs Iowa State (+1.5)
vs MSU (+5.5)
vs FL (+6.5)
vs KY (+2.5).

Pretty impressive.

I believe I heard the last time was Villanova in '85.
