A 2025 NCAA women’s basketball tournament that started with 68 teams is now down to just four.
The Final Four is an accomplishment in and of itself for a team, something that will be proudly displayed on a banner and earn a group of players a place in the hearts and minds of their fans for years. Still, it’s a step in the journey, not a destination. Every squad that makes it to the biggest stage in college basketball does so with the same goal: to win a national championship.

This week, the women’s basketball teams at South Carolina, UConn, Texas and UCLA will head to Amalie Arena in Tampa, Florida, with the same dreams of cutting down the nets with confetti on the court at the end of the event.

Who is predicted to win women’s March Madness?
Odds courtesy of BetMGM as of Tuesday, April 1
If the Final Four plays out according to its odds, a familiar face from a familiar program will be hoisting the NCAA championship trophy on April 6.
Coach Geno Auriemma and the UConn Huskies are the betting favorite to take home the national championship, at -130 odds. No. 2 seed UConn’s actually the lowest-seeded team of the four remaining squads, with the other three participants being No. 1 seeds.
The Huskies have been dominant through their first four games of the tournament, though, winning each of those matchups by at least 14 points and by an average of 35 points. Over the team’s past three games, star guard Paige Bueckers is averaging 35 points per game while shooting 59.1% from the field and 61.9% from 3-point range.
Should Bueckers and her team beat No. 1 overall seed UCLA in the national semifinals and either South Carolina or Texas in the title game, it would be the 12th NCAA championship for the Huskies, the most of any Division I women’s basketball program.
South Carolina, the reigning national champion, has the next-best odds, at +250. The Gamecocks’ only three losses this season are to the other three teams in the Final Four. They lost to UCLA, 77-62, on Nov. 24, 2024; to Texas, 66-62, on Feb. 9; and to UConn, 87-58, on Feb. 16.
