The Duke Blue Devils and Michigan Wolverines had been the betting favorites to win the National Championship for the past couple of months, so it's no surprise that they each claim a No. 1 seed in the NCAA Tournament and are once again set as the top two favorites. Let's not forget these two teams faced each other already once this season in an out-of-conference game on February 21. The Blue Devils came away with a 68-63 victory in a thrilling affair. Will we see a rematch in the National Championship?
There were questions in the final stretch of the season about which team would clinch the No. 1 seed, and after UConn failed to win the Big East, the No. 1 seed was awarded to the defending national champions, the Florida Gators. Florida is set at +700, good for fourth on the odds list, to repeat as champions.
Of the No. 2 seeds, Houston enters the NCAA Tournament with the best odds at +1000. Houston fell one game short of winning it all last season. Do they have what it takes to go on another deep run and return to the Final Four?
UConn (+1700), Purdue (+3500), and Iowa State (+2200) round out the No. 2 seeds.
Only two other teams have odds better than 50-1 to win it all. Illinois, despite being a No. 3 seed, is listed at +1900, and Michigan State, as a No. 3 seed, is listed at +4000.
