Who Will Win the 2023 NCAA Men’s Basketball National Championship? The Duke Blue Devils Are the Favorite, but Kentucky Is a Close Second

Duke is No. 1 in the AP Poll and the Coaches Poll and has been all season. They are the defending national champions and have one of the best players in the country in Zion Williamson.

But Kentucky is not far behind. The Wildcats are No. 2 in both polls and have a lot of talent of their own, including Tyler Herro, PJ Washington, and Keldon Johnson.

Other contenders include Virginia, North Carolina, Michigan, and Gonzaga. But Duke and Kentucky are the clear favorites.

Some experts believe that Duke is the best team in the country since the 1992 Kentucky Wildcats team that featured Jamal Mashburn, John Pelphrey, and Richie Farmer.

However, Kentucky has a lot of experience in the NCAA Tournament and has won eight national championships, the most of any school.

The NCAA Tournament is always unpredictable, but Duke and Kentucky are the two best teams in the country and the favorites to win the national championship.

If they meet in the championship game, it would be a rematch of the 2012 national championship game, which Kentucky won 73–66.
