With the 2026 NCAA Tournament down to the Final Four, trader consensus on Polymarket reflects Michigan (34.5%) and Arizona (33.7%) as co-favorites after their dominant Elite Eight victories—Michigan's 95-62 rout of Tennessee showcasing Yaxel Lendeborg's 27 points and guard-heavy depth, while Arizona's 79-64 win over Purdue marked their first Final Four trip in 25 years behind elite defense and balance. The razor-thin gap stems from their semifinal clash, where the winner gains a clearer path to the championship against the Illinois-UConn victor, keeping probabilities bunched amid Big Ten strength (Michigan, Illinois) and UConn's pedigree despite a tougher draw. No major injuries reported, but stylistic matchups and rest advantages heighten upset potential in this closely contested bracket.
