With two No. 1 seeds, Michigan and Arizona, advancing to the Final Four alongside No. 2 UConn and No. 3 Illinois, trader consensus heavily favors a top seed capturing the NCAA Tournament national championship, reflecting their dominant paths through the bracket. Michigan, the Midwest Region top seed, solidified its position with a 90-77 Elite Eight win over Alabama, while West Region No. 1 Arizona maintained momentum amid few recent upsets. Illinois' surprise run as the No. 3 seed boosted its 18% implied probability after key victories, but UConn's 2-seed status trails slightly due to tougher regional matchups. No major injuries reported, emphasizing chalky progression and historical top-seed strength in late stages.
