Baylor’s loss to North Carolina in the second round of the 2022 NCAA Tournament ensured there wouldn’t be a repeat national champion for the 14th straight tournament.
Not since Florida cut down the nets in 2007 and 2008 has a team won titles in back-to-back seasons.
The onus is now on Kansas to accomplish the feat for the first time in program history and just the second time in college basketball since the early 1990s. And despite the loss of their top three scorers and an early-season suspension for Bill Self, the Jayhawks are among the favorites in national championship betting at the online sportsbook.
