Under head coach Dan Hurley, UConn won back-to-back national championships in 2023-24. It can become the first program in 50 years to win three men’s basketball championships in four years. 

If the Huskies pull it off, this will be the most impressive title of the trio. UConn basketball odds weren’t favored against Duke, and they won’t be favored against any of the remaining three teams, either. 

UConn will need three consecutive upsets to clinch the 2026 title. The corresponding odds are quite lucrative… for good reason.
