Sports bettors have more than just the NCAA Men’s Basketball Tournament to wager on this March.
Similar to the men’s tournament, the NCAA Women’s Basketball Tournament will also bring its own sense of March Madness to the sportsbooks.
Although the range of betting options for women’s college basketball may not be as extensive as that for men’s, there is still a market available to bet on in the upcoming weeks.
Women’s NCAA Tournament Info Guide
For the first time ever, the NCAA Women’s Basketball Tournament will showcase a total of 68 teams this year.
Similar to the male teams, the 68-team field will also be revealed on Selection Sunday. ESPN will present the bracket on Sunday, March 13 at 8 p.m. Eastern Time.
After the field is prepared, the tournament will follow this sequence of events.
- March 16-17: The initial two days
- The initial round will take place on March 18th and 19th.
- The second round will take place on March 20-21.
- The dates for the Sweet 16 tournament are March 25th and 26th.
- March 27-28: The top eight teams face off in a battle for supremacy.
- April 1: The Last Four
- The NCAA Championship will take place on April 3.
What can you bet on for the NCAA Women’s Tournament?
As of now, the current betting options are not fully transparent; however, there are a few things that we are aware of.
In anticipation of Selection Sunday, only a limited number of conference tournament game odds have been made accessible.
In addition to offering betting options on the spread, total, and moneyline, certain bookmakers are also introducing team prop bets.
At present, multiple sportsbooks offer a futures market for the NCAA Women’s Tournament, where the majority position top-ranked South Carolina as the frontrunner to emerge victorious.
When tournament time arrives, it can be confidently expected that there will be opportunities to place bets on some, if not all, tournament games.
The true inquiry lies in the realm of prop betting choices. Michigan permits individual prop bets on college athletes, as we have witnessed in college football and men’s basketball seasons. The question remains: will such prop bets extend to NCAA women’s games? Only time will reveal the answer.
Don’t forget your Women’s NCAA Tournament bracket
Once more, your bracket-busting glory doesn’t have to be limited to the men’s tournament this year.
The prevalence of women’s tournament bracket pools is increasing, making them equally challenging to forecast.
Here are a few helpful tips to keep in mind while making your selections:
- It is surprising that a single No. 16 seed, specifically Harvard in 1998, managed to cause an upset against a No. 1 seed. On the other hand, there has never been a case where a No. 15 or No. 14 seed emerged victorious. In contrast, a total of 23 No. 12 seeds have successfully upset a No. 5 seed, while 33 No. 11 seeds have accomplished the same feat against a No. 6 seed.
- It is advisable to prioritize the top seeds. Over the past nine NCAA women’s championships, the victorious teams have consistently been No. 1 seeds. In fact, on three occasions, all four teams in the Final Four were top seeds. On average, 2.6 top seeds have secured a spot in the Final Four throughout these nine tournaments.
- In contrast, only two teams seeded No. 5 or higher managed to make it to the Final Four within the past decade. These teams were Louisville, seeded No. 5, in 2013, and Washington, seeded No. 7, in 2016.
- With a total of 11 NCAA Tournament victories, Connecticut holds the record for the highest number of wins among all programs. Their most recent triumph was in 2016. Only Tennessee, Baylor, and Stanford have surpassed the two-win mark, with Tennessee leading the pack with 8 victories, followed by Baylor and Stanford with 3 each.
- During their impressive streak, UConn has made it to the Final Four 13 times in a row, emerging victorious with six championship titles.
- In the history of the conference, the Big Ten has only achieved a single victory in the NCAA Tournament. This remarkable triumph occurred in 1999 when Purdue emerged victorious, defeating Duke in the final match.
Michigan the lone state contender
This year’s NCAA Women’s Tournament will see the Michigan Wolverines leading the charge for the in-state teams.
During the season, Michigan achieved a record of 22-6 and is currently holding the No. 12 spot in the national rankings.
Finishing third in the conference standings, the Wolverines achieved an impressive 13-4 record in the Big Ten.
Michigan is entering March Madness with a less than stellar performance, suffering a loss in its last regular season game against Iowa by a score of 104-80. To add to their disappointment, Michigan faced an upset in their Big Ten Tournament opener against Nebraska, losing by a close margin of 76-73.
According to ESPN’s Bracketology, U-M is currently positioned as a 3 seed for the Big Dance.
In the program’s history, Michigan had never reached the Sweet 16 until last year. Prior to that, the Wolverines had participated in the tournament nine times.
FanDuel Sportsbook MI is currently providing the most favorable odds for Michigan when it comes to betting. At FD, the Wolverines are listed at +4000 to win the national title, while Caesars Sportsbook MI offers +2500 and PointsBet Sportsbook MI offers +1400.
It is highly likely that Michigan will be the only in-state team in this year’s field. Michigan State is not expected to progress further after a season with a record of 15-15.
On Wednesday, Western Michigan will be competing in the MAC Tournament quarterfinals as the No. 7 seed. Unfortunately, Central Michigan and Eastern Michigan did not progress to this stage.
After making it to the semifinals of the Horizon League Tournament, Oakland University was defeated by the number one seed, IUPUI.
