College basketball is one of the most exhilarating sports out there, and a big reason for that is the NCAA Tournament or March Madness. The 64-team event is one of the best spectacles the American eye can see, and whether or not that is a stretch can be discussed on a different day. Winning a national championship remains the ultimate goal of every team, but before they get there, they must win their region and advance to the infamous Final Four.
Placing futures on a National Championship winner can undoubtedly be profitable, but with the unpredictability of college basketball, it can also be incredibly challenging. With that, bettors can also open their futures portfolio by placing bets on teams to make the Final Four, and down below, we'll break down the odds for some of the top teams in the country to reach those esteemed contests. With the 2025 season all wrapped up, we will update the odds tables below once Final Four odds are released.

The influx of talent into college basketball has only gotten stronger over the past few years, but the 2025 season took that to an entirely different level. With guys like Cooper Flagg, Ace Bailey, Kasparus Jakucionis, and more joining the college game alongside some of the already-established stars, deciding who the best player in the country was going to be looked like it was going to be no easy task.

If college basketball fans want to attempt to make that determination during the season, they can always bet on the John Wooden Award winner. Below, we will update bettors on all odds changes for the award to help them determine the best price for different players and more.
