Vegas just handed No. 15 Ole Miss Rebels the final push they needed to secure a back-to-back Sweet 16 run.
The final odds on Sunday, March 22, have Ole Miss as short underdogs against Minnesota in the Round Two tipoff.
Both the Rebels and the Gophers are coming off massive blowout wins over their Round One opponents; the Rebels steamrolled Gonzaga in an 81-66 game, while Minnesota also came out on top of Green Bay in a 75-58 lopsided affair.
However, FanDuel has the Gophers as a mid-range favorite to send the Rebels home without a trip to Phoenix.

The undermining is exactly the type of fuel Coach Yo works the best on every single time. Always the unapologetic one, the Rebels' head coach has consistently put out their best performances when they were undermined the most.
Their SEC Tournament run, especially taking Texas down in Round One after a terrible four-game skid, is the most recent proof.
Luckily, she has nailed the rotation at the perfect time. Cotie McMahon has been on a roll, Latasha Lattimore and Christine Iwuala have hardly disappointed in the last few games.
Sira Theinou reminded the whole bracket about her return with a banging 12 points, eight rebounds, four blocks, and three steals stat chart.
Undeniably the Rebels are peaking.
That said, in the 'do-or-go-home' situation, the Gophers will hardly be unforgiving towards their opponents. Based on the odds, the Sunday afternoon clash is expected to be a wire-to-wire, narrow win.
All the Rebels need would be a big play towards the end if they can't establish or hold onto an early lead to come out winning.
