The 2022-23 college basketball season has tipped off and schools will participate in regular season games through March 12, 2023, with the last week scheduled as conference tournaments for the major conferences. March 12 will also be selection Sunday, when the March Madness bracket will be released. The NCAA Tournament will tip-off with the First Four on March 14, and then the first-round of the tournament will start on March 16. The tournament will conclude with the Final Four being played on April 1 and the National Championship Games on April 3. Both events will take place at NRG Stadium in Houston, TX.

The reigning champion Kansas Jayhawks sit fifth in the odds to repeat this season at +1300. We have a four-way tie atop the board to win it all entering the season, with runner-up North Carolina, Kentucky, Gonzaga, and Houston all +900. The Tar Heels bring back four starters from their team that challenged the Jayhawks in the title game last season. The Wildcats will have the reigning National Player of the Year (Oscar Tshiebwe) returning to school to keep them in contention. It’s the first time since 2008 that the NPOY is returning to school, when Tyler Hansbrough came back to UNC. Gonzaga has a pair of key contributors back on the floor with Drew Timme and Julian Stawther returning to the program. And the Cougars saw their young core rally into the Elite Eight last season and return many of the key pieces to one of the top defensive teams in the nation. Some of the other top teams in the mix to content in the 2022-23 season are expected to be Baylor (+1200), Arkansas (+1500), Duke (+1600), and UCLA (+1600).
