2025 Women's March Madness odds: South Carolina favored, UCLA surges

The South Carolina Gamecocks won the 2024 NCAA women's March Madness tournament and have begun their quest to win three out of four.

But they've already hit their first bump in the road. And now the UCLA Bruins are surging up the board.

Let's take a look at the NCAA tournament betting board at DraftKings Sportsbook as of Jan 6.

NCAA Women's Tournament Winner 2025 odds: 

South Carolina: +275 (bet $10 to win $37.50 total)
UConn: +350 (bet $10 to win $45 total)
Notre Dame: +450 (bet $10 to win $55 total)
USC: +500 (bet $110 to win $60 total)
UCLA: +600 (bet $10 to win $70 total)
Texas: +900 (bet $10 to win $100 total)

The Gamecocks won the national title in 2022, lost in the Final Four in 2023 and then won the title again last season. But in each of those seasons, they won at least their first 12 games. 

In their sixth game of the season, they fell 77-62 at UCLA. Now, the Gamecocks now sit at 14-1 now that they've bounced back after that one blemish.

Despite the early-season loss, South Carolina is still the favorite to win it all. The Gamecocks' odds have shortened to +275 from +290 over the last week.

Second on the board is UConn, whose odds remained at +300. Notre Dame at third also stayed put at +450.

A team bettors might want to watch, however, is UCLA.

The Bruins are the No. 1 team in the country and are the squad that handed the Gamecocks that loss earlier in the season. At 15-0, they saw their odds move to +600 from +900 recently.  

Texas also saw its odds shorten, moving slightly to +900 from +1000.
