2025 Final Four Most Outstanding Player Favorites
Before I give my Final Four Most Outstanding Player prediction, let’s take a closer look at the leading contenders for the award this year.
Cooper Flagg (Duke) (+120)
Cooper Flagg’s freshman year at Duke has been nothing short of remarkable. Flagg led the Blue Devils in multiple categories this year, including:
- 9 PPG
- 5 RPG
- 2 APG
- 4 SPG
Flagg is listed at +120 odds to win the MOP trophy. At his current odds, he has an implied win probability of 45.45%.

The Blue Devils face Houston in the Final Four. If they get by the Cougars, Duke will take on either Auburn or Florida in the championship game.
Some people are already calling Flagg one of the best freshmen to ever play in Men’s college basketball. Leading Duke to a title will only add to that case. If Flagg can win two more games before leaving for the NBA, he will be the clear choice for MOB.
Walter Clayton Jr. (Florida) (+375)
After Flagg, the odds for the Most Outstanding Player drop off quickly. Florida’s Walter Clayton JR. has the second-best odds in this market at +375, giving the senior guard a 21.05% implied win probability.
Clayton Jr. had a successful second season with the Gators. He set collegiate career highs in points (18.1 PPG) and assists (4.2 APG), leading the team in both categories.
He has been especially impactful in the Gators’ tournament games so far. Clayton Jr. has scored at least 23 points in three of Florida’s four games. His 30 points in Florida’s comeback win over Texas Tech helped the Gators complete a double-digit comeback in the final six minutes of the game.
Johni Broome (Auburn) (+800)
Rounding out the top three in the current NCAA MOP odds at BetUS is Auburn’s Johni Broome. The 6’10” senior leads the Tigers in these three categories:
- Points: 18.7 PPG
- Rebounds: 10.9 RPG
- Blocks: 2.1 BPG
Broome and the Tigers disappointed in their conference tournament. However, they have turned things around quickly in March Madness. Auburn dominated three of its four opponents so far in the tournament.

It has not been all sunshine and roses for the Tigers, though. Broome’s injury scare in the team’s win over Michigan State nearly ended Auburn’s title hopes this year.
Broome returned to the game, but his health is still a major question mark. Auburn needs him to be as close to 100% as possible to have a chance against Florida in the Final Four. Leading the Tigers to an upset win over the Gators, especially while injured, would certainly help Broome’s MOP case.
Best 2025 MOP Sleepers
With only four teams left, the paths to the national championship and the MOP award are clearer than ever. However, March Madness is known for upsets, and great sleeper options are still available for the MOP.
2025 MOP Predictions
The Most Outstanding Player award is given to the player who impacts the NCAA Tournament the most. There is no easier way to make an impact than by helping your team win the title. Duke’s Cooper Flagg is the favorite for the award, and I think he will cap off his amazing freshman season with a championship.
I am sticking with the favorite as my MOP prediction. Flagg already looks like he is ready for the NBA. If his fantastic play continues, no one will be able to stop the Blue Devils, and Flagg will be a shoo-in for the MOP.
If I had to bet an underdog, I would take Tahaad Pettiford from Auburn. The freshman is listed at 25-1 odds to win the MOP.
Auburn needs Pettiford to step his game up to have a shot at the title, especially if Johni Broome is limited by his arm injury. The Tigers are an underdog, so Pettiford and the rest of the team has their work cut out for them.
