Most experts have Duke going all the way.
ESPN.com writes: "Zion Williamson is the most dominant player in college basketball since Anthony Davis led Kentucky to the national title in 2012. In the 17 games in which he has played at least 30 minutes, the Blue Devils have lost just twice (against Gonzaga in the Maui Invitational in November and versus Syracuse in January, when Cam Reddish didn't play because of illness and Tre Jones played just six minutes after suffering a shoulder injury early in the first half). This Duke squad has three potential top-five picks (Williamson, Reddish, RJ Barrett) and a talented nucleus that has led the team to wins over Auburn, Texas Tech, Florida State (twice), Louisville, Virginia (twice) and North Carolina. The Blue Devils should be favored to be the last team standing in Minneapolis next month."
All four top seeds are the top four favorites to win the 2019 NCAA Men's Basketball Championship. Duke is just barely a 9/4 favorite over Gonzaga at 9/2.
