Will one of these 12 win the NCAA hardware again?

Duke, Purdue, Houston, UConn, Michigan State, Alabama or Iowa State are most likely.

Arizona, BYU, Gonzaga technically can but extremely unlikely.

Louisville and Michigan won’t win.


If I were a betting man, I’d put wads of cash on those first seven teams I mentioned. It will be one of those.

Probably. But you can come up with a large number of this type statistic and one of them gets broken pretty frequently.

If you had picked a final four Village we could make a small wager 😜. I would bet a package of smoked Tiger trout against what ever. Just makes it fun. I like to go to Wendover Nevada and bet the first rounds, I just put $25 on games and parlay a few. They are all your teams, when you have a little money on them 😂.

I’m awful at picking games, and I always have a bad bracket. I just know those teams meet all of the roster continuity requirements for national champs. I fear UConn and Duke.

You’re sleeping on Michigan.
Nope. I intentionally didn’t include Michigan, Louisville and Gonzaga. They don’t meet the criteria, I’ll stand on my research even when it looks insane to do it.

Edit: Well, technically Gonzaga meets criteria but on a lower tier of 5.2% of champions in the last 41 years, so I put them out.

It doesn't look insane, you have the top teams included.

From what I've seen Duke is the favorite, they will only get better as the freshmen mature.
