The 2025 NCAA Tournament came to an end on Monday night with Florida raising the championship trophy.

The Gators finished off an incredible run during a tournament where four No. 1 seeds made up the Final Four. It was a 65-63 win for Florida over Houston in a game where the Gators trailed by double-digits.

Florida advanced with a victory over Auburn in the Final Four before Houston made an improbably comeback against Duke on Saturday night. The Cougars are among the favorites to win the title next year while Duke will enter as the favorite thanks to another loaded recruiting class coming in.

College basketball fans will now have an entire offseason to see how teams progress in the portal. At this time next year, we will have all answers but until then, these are the early favorites to win the 2026 NCAA Tournament.
