Ohio's upset odds improve vs. UNC 
By definition, Giants have more margin for error than Giant Killers in the NCAA tournament. To pull off a huge upset, an underdog has to have the skills to maximize the quantity and/or value of its possessions, hit upon the right strategy to exploit its opponent's few weaknesses and execute at the highest level. When some but not all of those ingredients are in the mix, the result can be awful.
To see Ohio's odds of pulling off the upset against North Carolina, you must be an ESPN Insider.
