This market will resolve according to the team that wins the 2026 NCAA Men’s Basketball Tournament. If it is impossible for a team to win the 2026 NCAA Men’s Basketball Tournament according to the rules of the competition (i.e. they are eliminated) , the corresponding market will immediately resolve to “No”.

The resolution source for this market will be information from the NCAA.With the 2026 NCAA men's Final Four underway in Indianapolis on April 4, trader consensus clusters around Michigan (34.5%) and Arizona (32.6%) as co-favorites to cut down the nets, reflecting their dominant paths as No. 1 seeds—Michigan's Midwest Region routs including a 90-plus point elite eight win over Tennessee, and Arizona's West bracket mastery powered by the nation's top defense and size advantages. Illinois (18.2%) and UConn (13.9%) trail closely after punching tickets via gritty regional triumphs, with Illinois holding a slight edge in their rematch as a No. 3 seed. No major injury concerns shift dynamics, leaving analytics (KenPom, BPI) split razor-thin on Michigan-Arizona semis outcomes and emphasizing March Madness upset potential in this evenly matched field.
