Here's what to know about the NCAA college hoops title oddsboard:

The Favorite: Early in the season, it was crowded atop the oddsboard, with Purdue, Duke and Houston. However, a new team emerged and separated itself from the pack in early December and that was Michigan. Now the 13-0 Wolverines have moved to +390 from +475 since the beginning of January. UM was ranked No. 7 in the preseason but now sits at No. 2. The Wolverines have been dominating so far this season, beating San Diego State by 40, Auburn by 30, Gonzaga by 40 and Villanova by 28. 

Making Moves: Arizona is off to an impressive 14-0 start to its season and has surged up the board to +700 from +1300 since the middle of December. Some of the Wildcats' most notable wins have come over UCLA, UConn, Auburn and Alabama. Koa Peat leads the team in points, averaging 14.8 ppg, and Tobe Awaka leads the squad in rebounds (10.1). Arizona is currently ranked No. 1 in the country.
