2025 NCAA Final Four Odds

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.

Duke Blue Devils: The Blue Devils have had plenty of notable recruiting classes this year, but their current class may be their best since Zion Williamson's days. Duke brought in Cooper Flagg, the country's number one recruit, along with guys like Kon Knueppel and Khaman Maluach. Outside of the freshman, Duke has a few notable returners like Tyrese Proctor and transfer portal additions like Mason Gillis. That group started the year with a 19-2 record, including wins over Auburn, Arizona, and Louisville. The Blue Devils have also not lost since November 26th, as they are fresh off a dominant win over their rival, North Carolina.

Auburn Tigers: If the season ended today, the Auburn Tigers would possibly have the National Player of the Year on their roster in Johni Broome. Behind their experienced big man, the Tigers won the Maui Invitational and are currently the #1 team in the country in adjusted offensive efficiency on KenPom. While the SEC is certainly a gauntlet, the Tigers have a chance to be the best team that comes out of the conference. With their win over Ole Miss, the Tigers have now beaten four ranked conference opponents since January 14th.

Houston Cougars: Over the past few years, there has arguably been no better defensive team than the Houston Cougars. Regardless of roster turnover, the Cougars are almost guaranteed to be a nightmare matchup for opposing offenses. According to KenPom, the Cougars have the second-best adjusted defensive efficiency in the country, with 87.4 points allowed per 100 possessions.

The influx of talent into college basketball has only gotten stronger over the past few years, but this season has taken that to an entirely different level.

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.

Current Favorites for the John Wooden Award

Cooper Flagg (Duke): The last freshman to win this award just so happens to be another Duke star in, Zion Williamson. While Williamson was at Duke, the games became must-watch TV, and Flagg has a chance to make that the case again this season with his scoring and athletic ability. While the Blue Devils have a few veterans they rely on, their offense goes as Flagg goes. As we enter the middle of February, Flagg is averaging 19.5 points and 7.7 rebounds per game, as he recently put up 18 points and five rebounds in a loss to Clemson.

Johni Broome (Auburn Tigers): The Auburn Tigers have the country's highest adjusted offensive efficiency rating on KenPom, and Johni Broome is the biggest reason for that. Through the first 21 games of the season, Broome is averaging 18.1 points and is 6th in the country in rebounding with 10.9 per game. Since returning from his ankle injury, Broome has also posted four double-doubles, giving him 14 on the year.

Braden Smith (Purdue): Many believe that Braden Smith is the best point guard in college basketball, and it would be hard to argue against that with the way he's been playing. Following a nine-point and 13-assist performance in a win over USC, Smith is averaging 16.1 points and 8.8 assists per game, which is the second-best average in the country.

Duke: There wasn't a more hyped freshman class this season than the one Duke has to offer. Headlined by Cooper Flagg, the Blue Devils did everything they could on the recruiting trail to remain a powerhouse and win their first regular season title since 2022. Well, so far, that recruiting class has lived up to expectations, as the Blue Devils are second in the country in adjusted efficiency margin on KenPom.

A lot of their success has stemmed from the play of Cooper Flagg, who is averaging 19.5 points, 7.7 rebounds, and 4.0 assists per game. Between Flagg and guys like Tyrese Proctor and Kon Knueppel, the Blue Devils are 20-3 with just one loss in ACC play.

Purdue Boilermakers: After losing Zach Edey to the NBA, many thought it would be a tall task for Purdue to win their third consecutive Big Ten title. Well, the Boilermakers apparently didn't hear the outside noise, as they are 19-5 this season with just one conference loss. Experienced point guard Braden Smith has helped the Boilermakers rank 8th in adjusted offensive efficiency on KenPom, as he's averaging 16.1 points and 8.8 assists per game.

St. John's Red Storm: In his second season as head coach, Rick Pitino has brought the St. John's Red Storm back to relevance. The Red Storm have lost just three games this season and recently went into UConn and beat the two-time defending national champs on their home court. Behind Kadary Richmond and RJ Luis Jr., the Red Storm are 16th in NET efficiency and second in adjusted defensive rating on KenPom.

Houston: The Cougars are the reigning regular season champs in the Big 12 and are returning a potential Conference Player of the Year winner in LJ Cryer. The defensive-minded Cougars have been able to wear teams out on that end of the floor for the past few seasons, and it doesn't look like that will change. According to KenPom, the Cougars are the #3 team in the country in adjusted defensive efficiency rating as they are holding opponents to a 45.2% effective field goal percentage.

Auburn: Bruce Pearl has brought the Auburn Tigers back to relevancy in the SEC, and behind Johni Broome, the Tigers will look to win their first regular season title since 2022. As we enter the middle of February, Broome has the Tigers sitting in first in NET efficiency rating on KenPom, as they are currently the #1 offense in the country ahead of Duke and Florida. The Tigers' biggest test will come on Saturday, February 15th, when they play Alabama on the road.
