Updated National Championship Odds For Men's College Basketball: NCAA Tournament

The Michigan Wolverines have lost their last two games, falling to Illinois and Maryland during the week. They will face Michigan State for the regular season finale before competing in the Big Ten Tournament.

Conference tournaments are wrapping up next week before the March Madness field is revealed on Selection Sunday, March 16. ESPN's Joe Lunardi has projected the tournament field, and his current No. 1 seeds are Auburn, Duke, Houston, and Florida. Behind them, Lunardi's No. 2 seeds are Texas Tech, Michigan State, Alabama, and Tennessee.

The Houston Cougars have the best odds to win the national championship out of any Big 12 team, but Iowa State and Texas Tech not far behind. The Big 12 Conference Tournament starts on Tuesday, but the top-four teams in the league have a bye until the quarterfinals begin on Thursday.

Outside of the Power 4 conferences, St. John's has the best chances of winning the NCAA Tournament, according to FanDuel. St. John's coach Rick Pitino has his team squarely inside the top-10 of the AP Top-25 Poll as they look to win the Big East Tournament after clinching the regular season title.

Although March Madness is known for having Cinderella stories, the betting odds get significantly longer down the list. Talented teams like Wisconsin, Kentucky, and Gonzaga are tied with the eighth-best odds of winning the title, while two-time defending national champion UConn has the ninth-best odds.

Can a team from the bubble win the NCAA Tournament in 2025? According to Lunardi, teams like Indiana, North Carolina, and Xavier are still fighting for a potential spot.
