With two of its teams in the Final Four, will the SEC finally end its national championship drought in the 2025 men’s NCAA Tournament?

Oddsmakers don’t believe so — don’t tell Greg Sankey.

Cooper Flagg and Duke basketball head to college basketball’s marquee event as the betting favorite, including on BetMGM, to claim the national title. The Blue Devils have been playing some of their best basketball over the last few weeks, as they’ve outscored their four opponents — No. 16 Mount St. Mary’s, No. 9 seed Baylor, No. 4 seed Arizona and No. 2 Alabama — 367-273.

The Final Four of the men’s NCAA Tournament will take place on Saturday, April 5 at the Alamodome in San Antonio. The national championship game will tip off at 8:50 p.m. ET on Monday, April 7 in the Alamo City.

Here’s what you need to know about who is favored to win the national championship in the men’s NCAA Tournament:

To get to the national championship, the Blue Devils will have to take down Houston, the No. 3 overall seed, in the Final Four. The Duke-Houston Final Four matchup is an intriguing matchup from an analytical standpoint, as it features Duke’s No. 1 offense and Houston’s No. 1 defense, per KenPom.

A national championship for the Blue Devils would be their first under Jon Scheyer and first since 2015, when Mike Krzyzewski’s team defeated Wisconsin. It would also be the program’s sixth national championship, which would tie Duke with UConn and in-state rival North Carolina for the third-most championships in the country.
