PHOENIX – The same four teams from last year’s women’s Final Four meet again in 2026, starting with a National Championship rematch between the UConn Huskies (-320) and the South Carolina Gamecocks. UConn has -110 legal sports betting odds to cover the 7.5-point spread and advance to a second-consecutive National Championship.
South Carolina vs UConn Betting Lines
| Team | Spread | Moneyline | Total |
|---|---|---|---|
| South Carolina (W) | +7.5 (-110) | +260 | O136.0 (-110) |
| Connecticut (W) | -7.5 (-110) | -320 | U136.0 (-110) |
If South Carolina claims their +260 moneyline odds, it would be their fourth National Championship appearance in five years. UConn is undefeated and even South Carolina sports betting odds show the Gamecocks are three-possession underdogs.
Friday night’s other Women’s Final Four matchup expects to be a closer game. There are -125 odds at legal college basketball betting sites for Texas to defeat UCLA in a highly-anticipated rematch.
Texas vs UCLA Betting Lines
| Team | Spread | Moneyline | Total |
|---|---|---|---|
| Texas (W) | -1.5 (-110) | -125 | O133.0 (-110) |
| UCLA (W) | +1.5 (-110) | +105 | U133.0 (-110) |
The Longhorns handed UCLA their only loss this season, but that was back in late November. Still, Texas sportsbooks favor the Longhorns again in Friday’s Final Four matchup.
This Bruins team is much different from the one Texas faced four months ago. They have too much talent and too many offensive weapons to not cash their +105 California sports betting odds on the moneyline.
Futures Odds Heavily Favor UConn National Championship
UConn is a strong -230 favorite to win the 2026 Women’s National Championship, but who has the best value to upset them? If South Carolina can pull the upset, they would likely become the favorite bet on March Madness in the National Championship.
Women’s National Championship Odds
| Team | Odds |
|---|---|
| Connecticut | -230 |
| UCLA | +600 |
| Texas | +650 |
| South Carolina | +700 |
There’s decent value on betting UCLA or Texas to win it all, since they would likely be similar underdogs (+230) as South Carolina in the big game. Either way, fading the 12-time champion UConn Huskies comes with a big price tag at +600 or longer odds.
