The 2024 NCAA Men’s College Basketball Tournament finally has arrived.

Michigan State (No. 9) is a 1.5-point favorite at FanDuel Sportsbook for the opening round game despite owning a lower seed. A daunting challenge likely awaits the winner, as top-seeded North Carolina will be next on the docket barring a stunning upset from Wagner.
