Odds to Win the 2026 NCAA Men's College Basketball Championship Have Duke Favored
We’re not quite done with the 2025 Men’s NCAA Basketball season, but that hasn’t stopped the oddsmakers at BetOnline.ag from opening the odds for the 2026 tourney.
Recruiting isn’t finished and neither is the transfer portal, but it shouldn’t come as a big surprise that the Duke Blue Devils are the favorites.
They have the Boozer twins coming to Durham, along with two other Top 35 seniors, plus there are reports of them having up to $10 million in NIL money available for transfers.
Two teams that are higher than normal are Louisville, which already has secured three highly-rated transfers, and BYU, which has the top recruit in AJ Dybantsa coming to Provo.
