The four best college basketball teams in the country are fighting for the title, and the excitement of the 2024 NCAA playoffs continues with the Final Four to be played on Saturday, one day after the women’s NCAA semifinals. The Connecticut Huskies are looking to defend their title and win back-to-back titles.
The Connecticut Huskies are trying to be the first team since the Florida Gators to defend their title in 2007. The Huskies are undoubtedly one of the most dominant teams in the last few years, and they are the clear favorites to win the title. The only upset in the NCAA Elite 8 was NC State beating Duke in an exciting matchup. The Final Four will be played at the State Farm Stadium in Glendale, Arizona, from April 8–11. UConn will face Alabama, and Purdue will clash with NC State in the 2024 NCAA Final Four.
Here are the updated odds for the winners of the 2024 March Madness championship:
The Connecticut Huskies have a great 35-3 record this season, and they have won by double digits in 10 consecutive NCAA Tournament games. Their odds went down from 3.20 (11/5) to 1.52 (10/19) after the elimination of some of the big teams, like the Houston Cougars, the Arizona Wildcats, and the North Carolina Tar Heels.
The Purdue Boilermakers are our choice in the 2024 NCAA March Madness predictions to win the title. They have the Wooden Award winner, Zach Edey, who is also the favorite to win it again this season. The Boilermakers have seen their odds drop from 7.50 (13/2) to 3.05 (41/20) in the last few days.
The Alabama Crimson Tide will be excited to make their Final Four debut. They are big underdogs to beat UConn and reach the final, but they can’t be underestimated. The NC State Wolfpack are on a nine-game winning streak, and they have won four of their last five games as underdogs. They last won the NCAA championship in 1983, and they will try to win it again after four decades of absence.
