As the 2023 March madness finale approaches, the tension among players and fans is increasing. Many fans are also asking questions relating to who will win the tournament. Questions like will the Jayhawks extend their streak after lifting the gold in the 2022 installment of the competition?
Either way, we are here to relieve the tension around the predictions and speculations. So read on as we shortlist the teams with the highest probability of winning March Madness 2023. And if you don’t know what this tournament entails, there is still time to learn more about it to join the fun and excitement.
Houston Cougars
It is impossible to look past the Houston Cougars this season as they are on a rampage, both home and away. The team is in one of its best forms; they top the American Athletic Conference table on a 7-game win streak as we near the end of the regular season.
The Cougar’s performance this season puts them on top of our list for the 2023 March madness. Provided that they continue with this impeccable form, there is no stopping them.
Purdue Boilermakers
Purdue is another team on our radar for the 2023 March Madness. While they had their rough moments during the season, there is no denying that the team is super-stacked. With talents like Fletcher Loyer, Caleb Furst, Zach Edey, and several others, they pose a threat to every team they face.
According to our analysis and deductions, if the Purdue Boilermakers can bring their consistent form, we could see them go for gold.
Alabama Crimson Tide
No fan watches Alabama and underrates them. This team is so great at pulling their opponents into the deep waters on their good days—which is almost every time. When the Alabama Crimson Tide sweeps, there is no denying its destructive force on opposing teams.
As for the forces behind this formidable team, we are looking at the likes of Charles Bediako, Dominick Welch, Mark Sears, and many more. The team is known to be fully loaded with Guards; they know their game, and it works for them.
Kansas Jayhawks
Kansas Jayhawks won the 2022 March Madness, and no doubt, they will be looking to extend it to a 2-year streak. They defeated the North Carolina Tar Heels in a close final by 72 to 69 points. And thus, the recent taste of victory makes them another formidable team in this year’s installment of the tournament.
Although they may not have David McCormack, who bagged them 15 points in the last final, it doesn’t take anything away from them. They still have the likes of Jalen Wilson, who won them 15 points, 4 rebounds, and 2 assists in the same game.
Over the years, the Jayhawks have been known to produce some of the best talents in the industry, which is evident in the number of their drafted players. We hope to see these talents in the 2023 March Madness.
UCLA Bruins
With their good run this season, UCLA Bruins have also made their way into the March Madness conversation. It is no surprise to us as this team has not tasted much defeat recently, so it is only fitting for them to be a threat in the tournament.
Although UCLA is not a team that triumphs over their opponents with large margins, they still find a way to win—which is what truly matters. And while that may not be very exciting for many fans, it does not change the fact that they could employ the same strategy to edge the 2023 March Madness tournament.
