Note that I'm not using any kind of adjustment to categorize Charlotte (this year's site) as a "semi-home" for Dook or Carolina. Even so, Virginia is not as large a favorite as last year since both of those powerhouses are also so good this year (three 1 seeds??). Those 3 teams combine to win this tournament about 3/4 of the time.
