Odds to Win Men's 2024 NCAA Tournament

All other teams 100-1 or greater. Odds via FanDuel Sportsbook. "Chances to win" is the fair implied probability minus the vigorish.

Where does your team stack up?

The big key is going to be which bubble teams are snubbed and which ones make the tournament in the end.

The most notable teams on the chopping block are St. John's and Oklahoma. One of the two teams are bound to miss the tournament. The other figures to get in.

At FanDuel, the odds for Oklahoma to make the NCAA Tournament are -400 while the no market is +270. At DraftKings, the line is staggeringly different: the yes is priced at -275 with the no at +210.

According to ESPN's Joe Lunardi, Oklahoma is penciled as one of the last teams to make the tournament. St. John's figures to be one of the last teams to miss the tournament.

On top of that, seeding is going to be exceedingly important — namely the No. 1 seeds, which are able to dictate, effectively, home court advantage, among other perks.

Will Purdue, namely, be a No. 1 seed after falling to Wisconsin in OT in the Big Ten Semifinal game? Especially with a looming Auburn that ranks No. 4 on KenPom and won a difficult SEC?

We'll find out at 6 p.m. ET. Get ready for the show.
