That leaves Mike Boynton Jr. in charge as the current interim head coach while a full search for a new leader can be conducted. Either way, losing May hurts this program as it looks to defend last year's title. New 76-Team FormatMore Teams and More Games in 2027!The #MarchMadness Expansion explained. @MarchMadnessMBB x @MarchMadnessWBBpic.twitter.com/gQavENSiN2 — NCAA (@NCAA) May 7, 2026Starting next year, March Madness expansion will see the field expand from 68 to 76 teams for both the men's and women's tournaments.The First Four is gone and set to be replaced by a 12-game “Opening Round” featuring 24 programs (12 lowest automatic qualifiers and 12 lowest-seeded at-large teams). The winners from those games will advance to the Round of 64, which will remain unchanged. Automatic bids drop from 56 to 52, meaning four fewer teams get in right off the bat. Meanwhile, at‑large bids increase from 37 to 45, giving eight more bubble teams a path in. March Madness favorites Florida Gators (+600)The Florida Gators fell in Round 2 of this year's tournament but sit atop several offseason rankings with a team returning a ton of top talent. Notably, Thomas Haugh and Alex Condon both announced back in April that they would be returning for their senior seasons. That makes this team a national threat once again. Duke Blue Devils (+700)The Duke Blue Devils are expected to lose reigning Naismith College Player of the Year Award winner Cameron Boozer to the NBA Draft, but coach Jon Scheyer knows how to retool.Duke already has commitments from three of the Top-15 incoming freshmen, including No. 3 Cameron Williams.Cash your ML picks quickly with bet365's early win payout!Take advantage of the early win payout at bet365, where you'll get paid out as a winner if your team goes up by 15+ points!Learn more about this feature, and all of bet365's offerings, with our comprehensive bet365 review!Sign Up Now atimg src="https://img.covers.com/betting/sportsbooks/2/bet365.svg" alt="bet365" width="100" height="28" style="vertical-align: middle;"21+.
