March Madness is set to tipoff and the 2024 NCAA Tournament is set for record wagering, in 38 states with $2.7 billion estimated to be bet on March Madness, according to the American Gaming Association. In looking at numbers on the basketball court, I’ve outlined the stats and profiles for the top teams in my coverage for OSGA. The No. 1 and No. 2 seeds in the East and West regions will be popular picks to reach the Final Four and cut down the nets. Defending national champion and No. 1 seed Connecticut along with No. 1 North Carolina are popular picks in NCAA Tournament futures and brackets to cut down the nets.

Check out the stats and profiles, including No. 1 and No. 2 seeds in the South and Midwest regions. Top of the AP Polls throughout the season Houston and Purdue are the top seeds in the South and Midwest.
