The University of Connecticut (UConn) has taken the top spot as the favorite to win the women’s NCAA tournament, following the news that USC star JuJu Watkins suffered a torn ACL. This move from BetMGM sends South Carolina slipping down to second place in favor of UConn, now at +175 to take home the title. The Huskies dominated their first-round game against No. 10 South Dakota State, winning 91-57 behind Paige Bueckers’ impressive performance. With Watkins out for the rest of the tournament, USC’s odds have lengthened to +2500. Several other teams, including UCLA, Texas, and Notre Dame, now offer better value than before the tournament began, with some having odds shorter than they were at Selection Sunday.
