The past few weeks have brought upsets galore.
First, the defending champion Huskies suffered three consecutive defeats at The Maui Invitational from Nov. 25-28, and their national title odds dropped from +1000 to +2000, going from second on the oddsboard to eighth.
They've won three straight since then, but their odds have remained the same.
Now, this past week, No. 1 Kansas lost two in a row, dropping its odds from +1400 to +1600.
Then, No. 2 Auburn lost to Duke, and No. 4 Kentucky lost to Clemson.
Still, Auburn's odds shortened from +1000 to +950.
No. 1 Kansas falls to Creighton, 76-63, and fans storm the court
Going back to UConn, a program has not three-peated since John Wooden's UCLA Bruins won six in a row from 1967 to 1973.
Since then, programs that have won two titles in a row include Duke (91-92), Florida (06-07), and the aforementioned UConn (23-24).
