Women’s 2025 NCAA Final 4 Betting Odds and Predictions

This is the fourth meeting of the season between the two best teams in the SEC! South Carolina has come out on top twice, winning 67-50 at home on January 12, and 64-45 in the SEC title game on March 9. The Longhorns won 66-62 at home on February 9, which was South Carolina’s first conference loss in 57 games!

Women’s Final 4 odds have the Gamecocks as 5-point favorites, based on the season, and also, their recent success.

South Carolina is going for their third national title in four seasons, but they haven’t looked great in the Women’s NCAA Tournament. They’ve used their defense to get to the Final Four, along with timely offensive production.

MiLaysia Fulwiley came up big against Maryland with 23 points, but South Carolina needs more from Joyce Edwards. The freshman forward led the Gamecocks in scoring this season with 12.7 points, but she has scored a combined 15 points in the last three games.

Texas has also been leaning on a great defense, especially against TCU in the Elite 8. The Longhorns harassed TCU’s Hailey Van Lith for 40 minutes, and although she had 17 points, she also had seven turnovers. Rori Harmon was the main defender and did a terrific job, but it was also a team effort, and Taylor Jones had four of the Longhorns’ six blocks.

The Longhorns also have an All-American in Madison Booker, the sophomore forward who has averaged 18.8 points and 8.0 rebounds in the Women’s NCAA Tournament. Booker will be, by far, the best offensive player on the floor in this game.

But South Carolina has kept Booker quiet in their three meetings. She was 3-of-19 from the floor for seven points in the first game, 7-of-22 for 20 points and 11 boards in the win, and 4-of-13 for ten points in the SEC title game.

The Longhorns will need someone else to step up in this game as Booker attracts a lot of attention. But Texas also needs Booker to be aggressive and take the game to the Gamecocks.

There is a lot of championship DNA throughout the South Carolina program, thanks to head coach Dawn Staley. However, this team doesn’t seem to have the push that the past squads had, and I think the Longhorns are just as good as South Carolina, if not better.

That’s why I’m taking the Longhorns outright at an outstanding price of +175 in an upset at college basketball betting sites!

The Huskies have been the stars of the show, and Women’s March Madness odds have them favored to win the championship! It would be a fitting end to the career of Paige Bueckers, the UConn star who has been to the Final Four each year she’s been healthy.

Bueckers, who missed all of the 2022-23 season with a knee injury, has been on another planet. She is averaging 29.0 points on 58.7 shooting, including an otherworldly 58.3% from three-point land. But it’s not just the Bueckers Show.

Sarah Strong has been one of the best freshmen in the country, averaging 17.0 points and 11.8 boards on 62.2% shooting in the postseason, including 41.2% from beyond the arc. Strong kept the Huskies in it when they started slowly against USC in the Elite 8, and she also did a great defensive job on the Trojans’ Kiki Iriafen.

The freshman will probably draw the assignment on UCLA’s All-American center Lauren Betts, who has averaged 23.0 points, 9.3 rebounds, and 3.5 blocks during the Women’s NCAA Tournament. Betts battled foul trouble in the Bruins’ 72-65 win over LSU in the Elite 8, but like Bueckers, she got help from her teammates.

Gabriela Jaquez and Timea Gardiner were brilliant against the Tigers, combining for 33 points.

An ELITE performance by UCLA!🚨

The Bruins are Final Four bound for the first time in program history!

Women’s Final 4 odds have the Huskies favored by eight points, and they lost to the Bruins 78-67 last season. However, the circumstances were much different. It was in November 2023, and Betts wasn’t the player she is now, and the same goes for Jaquez. But UConn didn’t have Azzi Fudd, who was still out with a knee injury, and Strong wasn’t on the team.

The difference will be UConn’s defense, which leads the country in points allowed. They don’t have the size to deal with Betts one-on-one, but Strong is very strong (pun intended) and the Huskies will swarm the junior center.

That said, I think the Huskies will pull out the win in their toughest game to date. But my Women’s Final 4 prediction for this game is that UCLA keeps it close and covers the 8-point spread. The line is too high for such a close contest.
