Just as it was predicted at the beginning of March Madness, Duke continues to penetrate as the number 1 seed and favorite to win the national championship. Now they are getting ready for Houston in the last four and only two games away from this year’s NCAA title.
The rest of the semi -final hooks are completed by Florida, who come close as second favorites, and Auburn, the least expected to take the trophy home. The Blue Devils still has to be challenged because they have won their four games so far with an average margin of 23.5 points.
“Duke was our most Betet team that came in the tournament with a good margin and they continued to support customers at a rapid pace in view of their performances,” said Adrian Horton, who directs the North American sports trade on ESPN BET. “In terms of liability it is completely Duke.”
Another director for College Basketball Opportunities shared the same picture. “At the moment we are strong supporters of everyone who is able to reach the upset against this formidable Duke team,” said Patrick Berbert, who supervises the trade for Caesars Sportsbook. “We get up with all other teams.”
The performances of Duke have attracted the attention of ESPN icon Stephen A. Smith, who cannot deny that they are favorites for the crown. “I’m looking at Duke now,” he said. “They are now just head and shoulders above everyone else. They are a Juggernaut. They can beat you as you ask.”
“Do you want to become physical? Well. Do you want to be aware? Good. Well. Do you want to delay it? Good. And we have a cat who is a first-year student who is perhaps the best player in the country,” said Stephen about Cooper Flagg, who continues to exceed expectations in his Rookie season at the university.
During their last interview after the game, the 18-year-old thanked his coaching staff for their success. “I mean, it’s clearly a great honor and a blessing,” he said. “I couldn’t have done it without the boys sitting next to me and the rest of the boys in the dressing room, so I have to give them all the honor to them.”
