Donte DiVincenzo of the Villanova Wildcats drives to the basket Monday night against Isaiah Livers of the Michigan Wolverines in the first half during the 2018 NCAA Men's Final Four National Championship game at the Alamodome in San Antonio. DiVincenzo came off the bench to score 18 points in the half and 31 in the game.

The NCAA men's basketball tournament ended Monday with Villanova winning its second title in three years, beating Michigan 79-62.

While one of the top teams ended up on top, this was a tournament full of twists, turns, and upsets.

So, how did the sports books do?
