The NCAA Tournament is not only coming soon for the Men’s game, but also the Women’s. This season in Women’s College Basketball has been outstanding. Each season the sport seems to grow, with exciting players, coaches and programs that continue to put forth their best in the scores and odds. Here are the top candidates to win the NCAA Women’s Basketball tournament and their updated odds:
South Carolina Gamecocks +160
Dawn Staley has her Gamecocks back as the favorite. After falling last season, South Carolina is looking to repeat their 2022 title, when they beat UConn. The Gamecocks are 21-0 on the season. Teams are not competing really well; outside of the six-point win at LSU in January. The last three wins for South Carolina came by 17, 22 and 29 points. Kamilla Cardoso is the leading scorer for the South Carolina Gamecocks, but it’s a team effort, with Raven Johnson and others in the mix as well.
LSU Tigers +800
Kim Mulkey and the LSU Tigers are the defending national champions. A season ago, the Tigers scored 102 in the win over Iowa. It’s been challenging this season a little, as they lost back-to-back games against South Carolina, and on the road at Mississippi State. The Tigers seemingly got back on track scoring 106 in the win over Florida. The Tigers have two of the best players in College Basketball, with Angel Reese scoring 19.3 points per game, and Hailey Van Lith leading the offense, as the point guard.
Iowa Hawkeyes +800
After falling in the National title game a season ago, the Iowa Hawkeyes have some unfinished business to take care of this season. Iowa has two losses on the season; coming to Kansas State, and recently to the Ohio State Buckeyes. The Hawkeyes have the top scorer in the country, with Caitlin Clark scoring 32.4 points per game. Clark is also one of the best passers in the game with nearly 8 assists per game. Iowa is tied with Ohio State at the top of the Big Ten with the rematch in Iowa City on March 3rd.
UConn Huskies +900
It’s kind of crazy that the UConn Huskies have not won a national title since 2015. That year, the Huskies went 38-0 and smoked Syracuse in Indianapolis. The Huskies played in the title game in 2022, losing to South Carolina. The 2024 version of the Huskies seems to be flying under the radar a bit with their 19-4 mark. The Huskies are once again running the Big East with their 11-0 mark. UConn is led by Paige Buckers with 20.3 points per game. Nika Muhl and Aaliyah Edwards are both having solid seasons for the Huskies as well.
UCLA Bruins +1200
The first of several Pac-12 teams with a chance to win a national title is the UCLA Bruins. The Bruins have not been to the title game in program history. They kind of go under the radar with Stanford, who has been to several title games, including winning it all in 2021. UCLA is 17-4 on the season but went 11-0 in non-conference action. The conference season has been a challenge, but when they put things together, this is a deadly team.
Stanford Cardinal +1500
The other Pac-12 team in the Top of the odds to win it all is the Stanford Cardinal. The Cardinal are 20-3 on the season and tied with Colorado at 9-2 in league play. The 2021 champions are coming off an impressive win over UCLA. Kiki Iriafen is having a nice season for Stanford with nearly 19 points per game. Talana Lepolo and Cameron Brink are both supporting the Stanford offense that is going to make for a tough out in the tournament.
