The UConn Huskies will enter women’s March Madness as favorites to win a record-tying 13th national championship. Geno Auriemma’s squad had -270 odds to win when the bracket was announced, the lowest odds for a pre-tournament favorite since 2018, which was also the last time UConn entered the Big Dance as the favorite.

There’s a significant gap to the next team, the UCLA Bruins, who have +550 odds to win the NCAA Tournament. The SEC dominates the next four spots between Texas (+700), South Carolina (+800), LSU (16-1, opening 14-1) and Vanderbilt (50-1). Duke (75-1) and Michigan (80-1) round out the teams that are less than 100-1.
UConn, UCLA and South Carolina were crowd favorites throughout the season, collectively securing 57.4% of futures trading at BetMGM. These teams’ low odds throughout the season won’t cause much of a headache for sportsbooks, but BetMGM reports liabilities to Michigan and Vanderbilt.
