🏀 Leading Candidates for the NCAA Championship in 2025

1. The Duke Blue Devils

Coach Jon Scheyer's team is a clear favorite with yet another outstanding recruiting class. Duke is a good Final Four bet because of its returning veterans and five-star prospects.

2. The Jayhawks of Kansas

Bill Self's team will be a No. 1 seed contender because Kansas always reloads and has a mix of high-potential freshmen and seasoned transfers.

3. The Huskies of UConn

With a three-peat, the reigning champions from 2023 and 2024 might create history. UConn will be unbeatable if Dan Hurley keeps important players.

4. Boilermakers at Purdue

Zach Edey's departure raises issues after years of March problems, but Purdue's system keeps them alive.

5. Alabama Crimson Tide

The fast-paced offense and excellent recruitment of Nate Oats may propel Bama into the Elite Eight.

🔍 Unexpected Dark Horse Teams That Might Astonish

Gonzaga Bulldogs– Always risky, particularly if they get a good seed.

Houston Cougars: Chaos results from Kelvin Sampson's defense-first strategy.

Sharpshooters on a well-coached squad are the Creighton Bluejays.

The Florida Atlantic Owls are hoping to replicate their Cinderella run from 2023.

🔅Players to Keep an Eye on in 2025's March Madness

Cooper Flagg (Duke), the top recruit, has the potential to become the next big thing in college basketball.

Duke's Caleb Foster is a promising prospect.

(Transfer Portal/Kansas) Hunter Dickinson? – He will be a powerful force if he remains.

Leading the Huskies is Stephon Castle of UConn, a possible NBA lottery selection.
