Top Pick to Win the 2023 College Basketball Championship

It’s often not a good idea to choose the favorite to win the NCAA Tournament. In this case, though, the Houston Cougars are the overall best team.

In a few games this season, it’s looked like the Cougars were a bunch of NBA players throwing down against a high school squad. The Cougs are lengthy but also built like they’ve been lifting weights since they were ten years old.

No wonder Houston lost just 3 games this season. The Cougars enter the tournament off a loss to Memphis. That’s a good thing. It means Houston is ready to start a new winning streak.

Second Pick to Win the 2023 College Basketball Championship

The defending champs, like Houston, didn’t win their conference tournament. But before decrying the Kansas Hayhawks’ chances, it’s important to note something.

Yes, Rock Chalk Jayhawk has lost 2-of-4. Ah, but both losses came against the Texas Longhorns. The Horns are not in Kansas’ bracket.

Point guard Dajuan Harris and forward Jalen Wilson have developed a great inside-outside game. Also, no coach at the tournament is as good at adjusting at halftime as well as Bill Self.

Third Pick to Win the 2023 College Basketball Championship

The Selection Committee appears to have punished Alabama. The Crimson Tide are the top seed in the South Region, but 2-seed, 3-seed Baylor, and 4-seed Virginia are all good enough to win the title, not just the region.

Among the four, the Arizona Wildcats is the top pick. The Wildcats beat rival UCLA to win the Pac-12 Tournament. Not only that, but Tommy Lloyd has a more balanced team this season than a year ago.

Also, only Baylor appears capable of beating Zona on their way to the Elite Eight. So at the odds, the Cats are worth a look.

Underdog Pick to Win the 2023 College Basketball Championship

12-seeds often beat 5-seeds but in this case, the East Region’s 5 has a clear path to the regional final.

The Duke Blue Devils are on fire. Duke should beat 12-seed Oral Roberts, trounce a reeling 4-seed Tennessee, and out hustle a good, but slow Purdue team in the Sweet 16.

The Blue Devils are on a 9-game winning streak. The ACC Tournament winners got the easiest draw for a 5-seed in recent memory.
