The Blue Bloods, Duke, Kentucky, Kansas Picked To Make The Final Four In 2019
We are five months away from the season tipping off but the odds are already out for which teams will make the final four in 2019.
The teams that are favored to make the final four next season are all blue bloods.
Those schools include Duke out of the Atlantic Coast Conference, Kentucky out of the Southeastern Conference and Kansas out of the Big Twelve.
Duke is expected to enjoy a reload rather than a rebuild in 2018. Despite losing three of its players to the first round of the NBA Draft, the Blue Devils have restocked their roster by enrolling a No. 1-ranked recruiting class. Headlining the bunch are three of the top five prospects in the 2018 class, including No. 1 recruit R.J. Barrett, a favorite to be the No. 1 pick in the 2019 NBA Draft, and No. 2 recruit Cameron Reddish, also a projected top-3 pick next year.

The talent the Blue Devils are importing into Durham gives them a slight leg up as the favorite to win the national title next season. And according to odds just released from Westgate Las Vegas Superbook on which teams will make the Final Four in 2019, Duke is tied for the top odds at 5-4 to get there.

The Blue Devils are joined by Kansas and Kentucky with the 5-4 probability placed by the popular Vegas odds-maker. "according to https://www.cbssports.com/college-basketball/news/college-basketball-odds-duke-kentucky-and-kansas-big-favorites-to-make-it-to-the-2019-final-four/
If you're wagering some cheddar, Kentucky, the No. 1 team in the CBS Sports Top 25 (and one), is the smartest wager of the three. Not only do the Wildcats bring back Quade Green, Nick Richards, PJ Washington and Jemarl Baker, but they also add Stanford grad transfer Reid Travis to a recruiting class littered with bluechip talent."according to https://www.cbssports.com/college-basketball/news/college-basketball-odds-duke-kentucky-and-kansas-big-favorites-to-make-it-to-the-2019-final-four/
Kansas is a close runner-up just ahead of Duke in my eyes; with Udoka Azubuike returning and Charlie Moore, Dedric Lawson, K.J. Lawson, Quentin Grimes, Devon Dotson and David McCormack all joining the fold, the Jayhawks are in line to win the Big 12 for a 15th consecutive season. It's not at all crazy to think they could also repeat as a Final Four guest after making the trip to San Antonio earlier this year.
