March Madness is just around the corner!

The major conference tournaments begin this week—the ACC tournament starts Tuesday afternoon—which will affect some of the top seeds in the tournament.

Top-ranked Gonzaga remains the favorite to win the championship at +400 odds, the same as last week. The Bulldogs will look to secure the WAC auto bid tonight against St. Mary's.

No 7. Duke's odds stayed steady at +1200 even after No. 25 UNC upset them at home this past Saturday, ruining Coach K's final game at Cameron Indoor Stadium.

No. 2 Arizona is the second betting option at +600 odds, a massive jump after opening the year at +4000. No. 5 Kentucky enters the SEC tournament with +800 odds after opening at +2000.

Defending national champion and No. 3 Baylor owns +1400 odds, while No. 4 Auburn is at +1000 after opening at +4000.
