I think those numbers are crazy.........I really don't see Duke or Texas could have better odds to win it than UCLA, USC or ND.......I'd be much more comfortable with UConn being tucked into the middle of the pack rather than the favorite.......

The odds of winning take into consideration who is in your bracket. To me the Texas region is wide open and if you are with South Carolina or UConn you have only one path and it is through the favorite. In the end the total can only add up to 100%.

To me it looks good since UCLA and Texas really have the toughest roads based on matchups. UConn is playing good ball and they pounded SC so they really should be the odds on favorite if you don't think USC will beat them and I really doubt that happens again.

UCONN 24% chance of winning championship
South Carolina 22%
Texas 15%
Duke 12%
Notre Dame 7%
UCLA 6%
USC 5%
others 9%
It is inconceivable to me that Duke is favored, especially by such a margin, over Notre Dame, UCLA, & USC! Not saying they couldn’t win, but I would pick all three of those teams as more likely champions than Duke. They do have a scary defense, one that may win them a championship in the next few years, but at present, I just don’t think they have enough offense. I do believe in Kara Lawson though, and it would not surprise me in the least to see them win a chip in the next five years!

FF Prediction based on the brackets: UConn vs. UCLA, and SC vs. uNd (Speedy guards overcome Tallness this year until SC in OT);

Finals: UConn vs. SC (as it should be in Paige's Final Final!!!) Geno vs. Dawn and both teams healthy...

I like Geno, CD, and the best women in the 'fight' to prevail this year!

Go Huskies!!!

Agreed............I've seen Duke a bunch of times this season and their offense has been less than stellar in most of them......
