To Win National Championship
Garnering a +250 on the money line, Gonzaga Bulldogs are on the leading teams predicted to win the National Collegiate Athletic Association Championship. With their previous records, they have won a few intense championship games together with high-rated recruits, which will definitely give them a great advantage this season.
Baylor Bears acquired a +330 on the money line backing up its potential to win the National Championship. The team's coach, Scott Drew, thinks it would be possible to win the Championship and beat the other undefeated teams.
Michigan Wolverines at a +420 with fresh recruits and well-rounded players who contribute to each other's abilities. The University of Michigan has been a more dominant and most challenging college compared to other universities and colleges. Players from Michigan Wolverines will be able to compete in the NCAA even when faced with various matchups because their head coach managed and trained them despite being in a long layoff, which was too great for honing their physical skills.
To Win Big Ten
The Michigan Wolverines are at the forefront of these odds, justifying their 14W-2L conference record. The projected standings are not necessarily accurate; however, it can be leveraged to rise from these rankings, and Michigan Wolverines indeed has enough potential to win the Big Ten.
Iowa Hawkeyes acquired a conference record of 13W-6L. During the preseason, the player that garnered the highest favorites was from Iowa Hawkeyes, Luka Garza, hoping that this kind of gameplay would carry on in the championships.
With a +425 money line and a 12W - 7L conference record, Ohio State Buckeyes has been on the top of these odds lately because they've been surpassing their limits during playoffs. They managed to excel in the past seasons due to having reliable players. With their outstanding defense, it wouldn't be a surprise if they beat other notable teams. However, players of Ohio State Buckeyes seem to be a lot rockier due to their players and recruits' physical conditions.
To Reach Final Four
Sportsbooks have now predicted and set the odds of teams that will reach the Final Four. The top picks for these odds will be amongst the Gonzaga Bulldogs, Baylor Bears, Michigan Wolverines, Iowa Hawkeyes, and Florida State Seminoles.
It's safe to say that the Gonzaga bulldogs are willing to beat every team they compete with. Their eagerness to win drives them to exceed their limits when playing intensely, preparing both offensive and defensive tactics during playoffs. Most of their players had already received various Player of the Year awards, which led them to be on top of the Final Four leads.
Baylor Bears' coach, Scott Drew, has led them to be able to compete against many of the notable and finest contenders in the collegiate tournament. However, many bookmakers may be hesitant to trust Baylor Bears to reach the Final Four, knowing that they lost their top five scorers this season due to injuries. Despite having fresh recruits and new players, they managed to improve during the previous seasons, respecting their seniors' former progress.
Michigan Wolverines can also be seen as part of the Final Four as long as they continue to be persistent and maintain the level of competitiveness towards the end. They had top freshmen to counter all the attacks to various teams regardless of the difficulty, balancing their winning progress. The most significant advantage they had is having unlimited energy during the games, showing that they are the dominant and persistent players this season.
Iowa Hawkeyes' offensive attacks are their winning point in addition to their remarkable players. Their team had most of the star players in college basketball, including Luka Garza, with outstanding assists and good scoring players. We will probably witness these kinds of lineups appearing in the Final Four of the National Collegiate Athletic Association.
With a +300 on its money line, Ohio State Buckeyes is reliable enough to be one of the Final Four finalists. Justice Sueing has done an impressive job boosting Ohio Buckeyes' reputation in the previous seasons, which proves that Ohio State Buckeyes has a chance to be a Final Four finalist.
