The NBA Draft early withdrawal period is over.
Some big names are going back to college, including Milos Uzan, Alex Condon, Darrion Williams, Otega Oweh, Tahaad Pettiford and Yaxel Lendeborg.
With NIL money often being more than what a second-round pick can pull, it’s logical for many of these players to go back to college and continue to hone their skills and “education.”
Now that the oddsmakers at BetOnline.ag know who will be going back to college and where the majority of players in the transfer portal will be playing next year, it’s a good time to show the updated odds to win the 2026 Men’s NCAA Tournament.
With Uzan returning to school, Houston have moved to the slight favorite to cut down the nets, overtaking both Duke and Purdue.
