Women's Wooden Award Odds & Favorites 2026: UConn's Strong Runaway Favorite
With Sarah Strong leading reigning champion UConn to a hot start to the season, the Huskies' do-it-all forward is the runaway favorite by the women's Wooden Award odds.
The sophomore is a -143 odds favorite to win the women's Wooden Award, with last year's winner, USC's JuJu Watkins, out for the season following an ACL tear late last season. Trailing Strong are UCLA's Lauren Betts, Notre Dame's Hannah Hidalgo, Iowa State's Audi Crooks, and her teammate Azzi Fudd.
While there's plenty of college basketball season left, it looks like it will be hard to unseat Strong up top with how dominant UConn has been in defending its title.
