UConn: +1100 (bet $10 to win $120 total)

As of January 30, the leading favorites to secure a Final Four spot include No. 2 Duke, No. 1 Auburn, No. 6 Houston, and No. 3 Iowa State. Close behind are No. 4 Alabama and No. 5 Florida, all with odds shorter than +400.

The Blue Devils are also positioned as the favorites to clinch the national championship as of January 30. 

Recent Final Fours have shown a shift in dynamics, with teams not traditionally seen as powerhouses making their mark. In 2024, for instance, UConn, Purdue, Alabama, and NC State reached the semifinals. 

Similarly, in 2023, UConn, San Diego State, Miami, and Florida Atlantic showcased their skills on the big stage. 

UConn emerged as the champion in both instances, and the Huskies are determined to chase a third consecutive title this year. 

Despite being ranked No. 25 nationally and facing challenges with three losses in their last six games, UConn’s odds to reach the Final Four stand at +1100. 

In Mike DeCourcy’s latest NCAA bracket projections, he has placed Duke as the 1-seed in the East, Auburn as the 1-seed in the South, Iowa State as the 1-seed in the Midwest, and Alabama as the 1-seed in the West.
