USA TODAY Sports

Games played on Friday and Saturday were mostly upset-free. Michigan State, Baylor and Iowa survived close calls against double-digit seeds, while No. 10 Virginia triumphed over No. 7 Georgia in overtime. Two No. 9 seeds, Syracuse and USC, also advanced.

No mid-major teams are left in the field. Aside from top-seeded UConn of the Big East, the other 31 teams remaining are all from Power 4 conferences.

In the minds of oddsmakers, not much has changed. According to thelatest odds from BetMGMas of early Sunday morning, the undefeated UConn Huskies were still the overwhelming favorite at -275.
