Another college basketball season has come and gone, and the UConn Huskies are your reigning national champions for a second straight season.Â
Now, attention turns toward 2024-25 college basketball odds for next season. Below, we look at some of the early favorites for 2025 March Madness.Â
2024-25 College Basketball National Championship odds: Duke, Kansas favored to win
College Basketball National Championship 2024-25 odds: UConn (+1100 or better)
Dan Hurley has created something special at UConn, becoming the first program to win back-to-back titles since Florida in 2006-2007.
A number of key players could enter the 2024 NBA Draft, but that clearly didn't hurt the Huskies when it happened last season.
Hurley will retool in the transfer portal and see who steps up among the current roster to try and go for three in a row.
2025 March Madness odds: Duke to win the national championship (+1200 or better)
Duke has the No. 1 recruiting class coming in led by the No. 1 overall player in said class: Cooper Flagg.
One of the most talked about prospects in recent memory, Flagg reclassified to graduate a year early and join Jon Scheyer's Blue Devils for the 2024-25 season. Duke is also bringing in four other freshman in the Top 50 of the ESPN 100.
We'll see where the rest of the roster lands based on stayers and leavers (transfer portal and the NBA Draft), but it's hard to argue they're not going to be the preseason No. 1 team.
