Favorites to win the women’s NCAA Tournament 

South Carolina Gamecocks ([metabet_core_dynamic_odds market=”bkw/ncaabw_winner” query=”bkw/south_carolina” site_id=”legalsportsreport”])

Despite losing star power like Aliyah Boston to the WNBA, coach Dawn Staley’s team is the heavy favorite in the tourney. The Gamecocks are 29-0 and have yet to lose a game. Team leader Kamilla Cardoso is shooting over 58% from the floor and averaging double-digit rebounds per game. 

LSU Tigers ([metabet_core_dynamic_odds market=”bkw/ncaabw_winner” query=”bkw/lsu” site_id=”legalsportsreport”])

The Tigers reloaded this offseason, bringing in Hailey Van Lith and Aneesah Morrow. Van Lith’s start in Baton Rouge wasn’t the best, but she’s turned it around, averaging 12.3 points, 3.8 assists, and 2.3 rebounds per game while shooting 40.1% from the floor. 

The Tigers are 26-4 on the year, including a 16-1 record at home. As of March 7, they’ve won eight games in a row. 

Iowa Hawkeyes ([metabet_core_dynamic_odds market=”bkw/ncaabw_winner” query=”bkw/iowa” site_id=”legalsportsreport”])

Led by the all-time NCAA scoring champion Caitlin Clark, the Hawkeyes will always have plenty of eyes on them. Clark is averaging 32.3 points, 7.3 rebounds, and 8.7 assists per game this season. The team as a whole is averaging well over 90 points per game.
