Duke comes in with the shortest odds after a tremendous season that ended with a +18 scoring differential against opponents and a trip to the Elite 8. They have the number one recruiting class coming, according to multiple outlets. We’ve seen them make a run to at least the Elite 8 in each of the last three seasons.
Where Michigan, UConn Sit
Looking at the now defending champs, they sit directly behind Duke in every aspect, with the second shortest college basketball odds and the number two overall recruiting class. Unfortunately for them, though, history is not exactly on their side, with just two instances of defending champions in back-to-back seasons dating back to 1993.
As for UConn, their championship pedigree for next season hangs in the air depending on the statuses of Braylon Mullins, Solo Ball, Silas Demary, and other key rotational players returning. Alex Karaban and Tarris Reed, their two leading scorers, are both out of eligibility, and their recruiting class doesn’t sit anywhere near the top-10 either.
