Who is favored to win the NCAA tournament this year?

A clear favorite expected to be crowned the national champions is the South Carolina Gamecocks. They have a distinctive edge in the betting markets than any other program. They are a perfect 21-0 and the top team in the nation.

With four players currently averaging double digits in scoring, they are a tough team to go up against. It's difficult for the best team in the nation to dominate in a single-elimination tournament. Nonetheless, they are clear favorites a month before the NCAA tournament starts.
