betED.com Press Release - Pick the NCAA Tournament champion at betED.com

The Final Four gets going Saturday but there's still time to pick the 2008 NCAA Tournament winner at betED.com.

betED.com is taking wagers on which of the Final Four teams will emerge victorious from March Madness, with the North Carolina Tar Heels the favorite at +200 Moneyline odds, followed by the Memphis Tigers at +250, and the UCLA Bruins and Kansas Jayhawks at +300.

UNC is topping many NCAA Basketball bettors' lists because of its dominant play throughout the 2008 NCAA Tournament. The Tar Heels destroyed their first three opponents, winning by an average of 30 points per game.

After beating Mount St. Mary's in the first round, the Tar Heels embarrassed SEC tournament runner-up Arkansas 108-77 in the second round. North Carolina went on to beat the Washington State Cougars 68-47 in the Sweet Sixteen and then beat the Louisville Cardinals, the lone member of the powerful Big East to make it to the Elite Eight, 83-73.

The Jayhawks skipped through the first three rounds almost as easily as the Tar Heels, winning by 24, 19 and 15 points. In the region final, they finally ended the dream season of Davidson, edging the Wildcats 59-57.

Among the Final Four teams, UCLA has been the least impressive, starting with a controversial 51-49 win over the Texas A&M Aggies in the first round. Then the Bruins allowed 12th-seeded Western Kentucky to stay in the game until the final minute, when UCLA pulled away for an 88-78 victory. In the regional final, the PAC-10 champions beat Xavier, 76-57, in their biggest win of the tournament.

And finally, Memphis glided through the first round but ran into trouble against Mississippi State, edging the Bulldogs 77-74. The Tigers went on to beat No. 5 Michigan State, racing to a 50-20 halftime lead and winning 92-74. Memphis then won 85-67 over the Texas Longhorns in the Elite Eight.
