2027 Final Four odds: Dawn Staley's South Carolina favorite to win women's basketball title

The 2027 Final Four for women’s college basketball in Columbus, Ohio, is five months away. But with the season getting underway this week, sportsbooks are already predicting who will be the national champion when the 76-team NCAA Tournament concludes in April. South Carolina is the early betting favorite to win the title, according to odds posted this week by DraftKings Sportsbook. Should the Gamecocks go on to win it all, it would be the fourth championship for Dawn Staley’s program. There’s good reason to think South Carolina might run away with the national title. The Gamecocks have gone to six consecutive Final Fours and return several key pieces, including All-American forward Joyce Edwards and sharpshooting guard Tessa Johnson. South Carolina is also getting back Ashlyn Watkins and former SEC Tournament MVP Chloe Kitts from injuries, added versatile guards Jordan Lee and Brooke Daniels in the transfer portal from Texas and Michigan, respectively, and brought in highly touted recruits in Jerzy Robinson and Oliviyah Edwards. South Carolina also opened the season with a win over Maryland in Paris and the Gamecocks were ranked No. 1 in USA TODAY Sports’ preseason Coaches Poll . Second in the title odds are the UConn

And she picked up right where she left off, scoring 21 points, five rebounds, two assists, two steals and one block in 25 minutes of play. "Imagine not playing a game for 500 and something days when you love the game like she does," USC head coach Lindsay Gottlieb said. "The game is just better with her in it ...

Addi Mack joins Caitlin Clark in rare feat against Dawn Staley’s South Carolina

Nobody saw Addi Mack coming, but after dropping 35 points, good luck ignoring her now. The stage was set in Paris for a NCAAWB season opener, and No. 1 South Carolina looked ready to run Maryland off the floor after building a 28-point lead. Then Addi Mack took over. The sophomore guard caught fire, putting up a ridiculous 31 of her career-high 35 points in the second half alone. She shot 14-of-20 from the floor, buried six triples, and dished six assists, single-handedly turning a runaway game into a 101-93 nail-biter. Dawn Staley’s squad held on, but Mack still walked away as only the fifth ...
