Jay Kornegay, the manager of the Las Vegas Hilton sports book, isn't sure who put in a $10 bet at the sportsbook earlier this season on Virginia Commonwealth to win the national championship -- at 5,000 to 1.

Should the Rams win two more games and cut down the nets in Houston, this particular fan will cash in a ticket worth $50,000.

“Maybe it's someone whose girlfriend went to VCU,” Kornegay said. “I don't know. But you'd like to be holding that golden ticket.”

Who wouldn't. Two more wins for the Rams, and they go into the record books as the most unlikely of all Cinderellas, the first team to win seven games in the NCAA tournament and win the national title.
