Is UCONN a blue blood with another NCAA Tournament championship win?

The Houston Cougars were the second favorites to win it all at +600, but their season came to a disappointing end Friday night.

The Boilermakers now sit second on the betting board to win it all. Their odds jumped significantly from +600 to +300 overnight after the Cougars’ loss.

That said, Duke and NC State made the biggest leaps in terms of title odds. After defeating Houston, the Blue Devils’ odds of winning it all shortened from +2100 to +850, while NC State jumped from +10000 to +3000 after defeating Marquette.

The tournament has been full of surprises. Who do you think will lay claim to the 2024 NCAA Men’s Title?
