Ranking 32 remaining Women’s NCAA Tournament teams by odds to win March Madness

[ASFN Admin]

The first round of the Women’s NCAA Tournament is over and 32 teams are still dancing.

Games played on Friday and Saturday were mostly upset-free. Michigan State, Baylor and Iowa survived close calls against double-digit seeds, while No. 10 Virginia triumphed over No. 7 Georgia in overtime. Two No. 9 seeds, Syracuse and USC, also advanced.

No mid-major teams are left in the field. Aside from top-seeded UConn of the Big East, the other 31 teams remaining are all from Power 4 conferences.

In the minds of oddsmakers, not much has changed. According to the latest odds from BetMGM as of early Sunday morning, the undefeated UConn Huskies were still the overwhelming favorite at -275.


The second overall seed, UCLA, is still second in odds at +500. Texas is third at +650, and South Carolina is fourth at +900.

Oregon — which faces Texas on Sunday — has the longest odds at +75000.

Here are the betting odds for each of the 32 teams still playing in the Women’s NCAA Tournament to win the national championship:
