## About

This market covers the 2027 NCAA Division I Men's Basketball national champion, to be decided by the tournament concluding in April 2027. Each outcome represents a specific team, and shares pay out if that team cuts down the nets. Polymarket's rules further specify that eliminated or non-qualifying teams resolve "No," and a cancellation or unresolved tournament past April 19, 2027 resolves "Other." Kalshi carries the bulk of the action, with roughly $7.5M in volume and $6.4M in liquidity, while Polymarket and Polymarket US currently show negligible activity.

Florida sits atop the board as the consensus favourite at 19.0%, edging out Virginia and Tennessee (both 14.5%) and a tight cluster including Louisville (13.0%), Purdue (12.5%) and Duke (12.5%). The gap between Florida and the next tier is only about 4-5 points, which points to a wide-open field this far from tip-off rather than a clear frontrunner.

Cross-platform pricing is largely aligned where comparisons exist: Kalshi's Florida line reads 14.0% versus Polymarket US's Florida Gators at 21.0%, though these sit on different books with very different liquidity. Overall, Kalshi is where price discovery is happening, and it depicts a crowded top tier with Florida narrowly ahead.
