When it comes to March Madness odds, most of the fun comes from trying to pick the darkhorses to get a big reward. Here is who you should take a chance on when it comes to the big dance.

Georgetown (+2250)

The Hoyas beat South Florida, Syracuse, Marquette in three straight days before losing a narrow one to West Virginia in the Big East final. Playing in a conference like that will make you a tough team, and the Hoyas are not to be counted out. They have a solid inside-outside duo in center Greg Monroe and guard Austin Freeman, but Monroe is the key with his ability to pass out of the post.

Maryland (+6550)

The Terrapins have Greivis Vazquez, a player that has the ability to win a game by himself with his scoring and penetration. Vazquez is the heart of the Terrapins, a group that shoots the ball well and plays tough defense when it has to. They were also good on the road, which will come in handy in neutral-court situations.

Texas (+8550)

The Longhorns were a March Madness favorite and the No.1 team in the country, but a second-half slide saw them fall to an eighth seed. The talent is there for the Longhorns, powered by Damion James, who is a stud at forward. The Longhorns also play defense well and they’re deep, but their hopes rest on a trio of freshman guards: Avery Bradley, J’Covan Brown and Jordan Hamilton had a terrible time shooting the ball, especially the latter two, and there are rumors of discontent. If they can manage to put it together for six games, the Longhorns can be a problem.
