With the 2026 NCAA Tournament down to the Final Four at Lucas Oil Stadium, trader consensus on Polymarket gives Michigan a slim 34.5% implied probability edge over Arizona at 33.5%, reflecting both No. 1 seeds' dominant paths—Michigan's 35-3 record and Arizona's 36-2—after Duke's Elite Eight exit vaulted them as co-favorites. Illinois (17.4%) and UConn (13.4%) trail as competitive underdogs, buoyed by the Fighting Illini's defensive surge and Huskies' comeback tournament form despite lower seeds. No major injury updates in the last 48 hours have shifted sentiment, keeping the race tight ahead of Saturday's Michigan-Arizona and UConn-Illinois semifinals, where stylistic matchups and rest advantages loom large.
