We finally reached the 2024 Women’s NCAA Final Four, as the championship semi-finals will be played on Friday, April 5. The defending champions, the LSU Tigers, got knocked out of this tournament in the Elite 8. This year’s Final Four will be held at Rocket Mortgage FieldHouse in Cleveland, Ohio.
Caitlin Clark broke the record for the most NCAA Tournament three pointers, and she also became the all-time leading point scorer in college basketball history last month. The Elite 8 matchup between the Iowa Hawkeyes and the LSU Tigers had other records as well, as it was the most watched women’s basketball game in history.
The biggest upset in the Elite 8 this season was the NC State Wolfpack beating the Texas Longhorns on the road. The South Carolina Gamecocks will face the NC State Wolfpack, while the Iowa Hawkeyes will face the Connecticut Huskies in the Final Four.
Here are the odds for the winners of the 2024 Women’s NCAA Basketball Tournament:
The best NCAA bookies have had the South Carolina Gamecocks as favorites since the start of the playoffs. They haven’t faced any problems against any team in the tournament so far, and they have one of the most balanced rosters in this competition. The Iowa Hawkeyes have seen their odds go down from 8.0 (7/1) to 4.50 (7/2) after reaching the Final Four. The Hawkeyes have the best player in the tournament, Caitlin Clark, so their winning chances are high. They reached their first final last year and lost to the LSU Tigers.
The Connecticut Huskies had odds of 17.0 (16/1) previously, but their winning chances are still not that big. The rising star, Paige Bueckers, has been great for the UConn Huskies this year. The Huskies have won the most women’s NCAA championships (11), and they will try to defeat the odds and win another one. The NC State Wolfpack have reached the Final Four in the men’s and women’s tournaments. They won their last two games as underdogs, and they will have to do that again against the South Carolina Gamecocks this time.
