Here’s what to know about the women’s NCAA title oddsboard:
The Favorites: Defending champion UConn is the favorite at +155, with last season’s runner-up South Carolina close behind at +280. In the 2024-25 title game, Huskies star Paige Bueckers helped lead the squad to victory with 17 points, along with Sarah Strong’s 24 points and 15 rebounds. Both UConn and South Carolina are off to 4-0 starts this season and are ranked No. 1 and 2, respectively. While Bueckers is doing her thing in the WNBA, Strong is a sophomore averaging 20.5 points, 8.8 rebounds and 5.0 assists.
Familiar Faces: At third and fourth on the board are UCLA (+440) and Texas (+1000) — the other two squads that made up last season’s women’s Final Four. In the semifinals, the Bruins fell 85-51 to UConn, while the Longhorns were bounced by South Carolina, 74-57. UCLA, at 5-0, is ranked third in the nation, although the Bruins did receive one first-place vote in the most recent rankings. The 4-0 Longhorns are fourth in the nation and are led by returning star Madison Booker, the team’s leading scorer.
