The Virginia Cavaliers are your 2019 men’s NCAA basketball national champions, and they might not be done. They’ll enjoy this title, but this is a team that prior to the season was viewed as looking at a potential stronger 2019-20 squad. And now, it reflects in the 2020 national title odds.

The Westgate SuperBook released their first futures odds for the 2020 NCAA tournament. Virginia and Kentucky top the list at 7-1. National semifinalist Michigan State is tied with Duke at 8-1. Meanwhile, national runner-up Texas Tech and semifinalist Auburn sit at 30-1 odds.

The last school to win back-to-back national championships was Florida in 2006 and 2007 and Duke prior to that in 1991 and 1992. It will be a stiff challenge for Virginia, with Kentucky bringing in a top tier recruiting class to build on a strong season. However, even with NBA defections, Virginia returns some solid talent and will be dangerous once again.

Here’s the full list of futures odds, courtesy of the Westgate SuperBook.
