Cooper Flagg leads Duke to be the tournament favorite.
March Madness is here. The 2025 Men’s NCAA Tournament field is set, and as expected Duke enters the tournament as the overall favorite. This is largely thanks to phenom Cooper Flagg, arguably the most-hyped NBA prospect born in the United States since LeBron James.
Flagg and Duke managed to win the ACC Tournament despite an injury to Flagg, and their deep rotation makes them a prime tournament team this year. Flagg is fully healthy for tournament time, and that is good news for the Blue Devils who are trying to win their first tournament since 2015.
It’s not just about the No. 1 favorite though, and these teams are also possible champions and sleepers who are poised to make noise in the tourney.
