Women's Wooden Award Odds 2024: Clark Caps Career with Second Straight Award
Caitlin Clark was the betting favorite by the 2024 Women's Wooden Award odds, according to the best college basketball odds, and the Iowa Hawkeyes star took home the award once again after winning it last season.
The most prolific scorer in college basketball history, Iowa's Caitlin Clark owns numerous NCAA basketball records, and now she joins elite company as the seventh player to win the Women's Wooden Award multiple times.
While Clark and the Hawkeyes lost the women's national championship game for the second straight season, she completely changed the sport and brought more attention to it than ever before. Behind Clark, this year's women's NCAA Tournament broke multiple viewing records with a bigger audience tuning into the games, thanks in part due to the Hawkeyes' All-American's exciting style of play.
The sharpshooting senior was the runaway favorite all year to win the 2024 Wooden Award, according to the our March Madness betting sites. By winning it, she joined Seimone Augustus (LSU), Candace Parker (Tennessee), Maya Moore (Connecticut), Brittney Griner (Baylor), Breanna Stewart (Connecticut), and Sabrina Ionescu (Oregon) as the only players to win the award multiple times. All six of those players went No. 1 overall in the WNBA draft, which is also the expectation for Clark in 2024 - she's already among the WNBA MVP odds favorites.
Here's a look at the closing odds for the 2024 Wooden Award at our best sports betting sites.

Name a college basketball record and Clark probably broke it this year. The three-time unanimous first-team All-American is the first Division-I player ever to record 3,800-plus points, 1,000-plus assists, and 950-plus rebounds - she also holds the D-I all-time scoring record, the single-season scoring record, and the single-season 3-pointers record.
She followed up last season's Wooden Award win by taking her game up a notch this year and leading the country in points per game (31.6), assists (8.9), and 3-pointers (5.2) while shooting 37.8% from deep and chipping in 7.4 rebounds. There hasn't been a college basketball player with as much talent and media attention as her in years, and she carried an Iowa program to the title that likely wouldn't have made it to the Sweet 16 without her.
Clark has proven to be one of the most transcendent players in basketball history and it was basically never any doubt around her winning the Wooden Award again this year. Now, Clark mania is expected to be headed to Indiana with the Fever holding the No. 1 pick in the 2024 WNBA Draft. The Fever have the sixth shortest WNBA Championship odds and Clark isn't even officially on the roster yet.
Women's Wooden Award odds movement
Clark opened as a +100 favorite at DraftKings to win her second straight Wooden Award, and she was still dealing at a respectable -140 price in late December. Those odds vanished quickly after a spectacular start to 2024 for the Hawkeyes star, who was trading at -250 or shorter from January onward.
Her early-season dominance had been reflected in the lengthening prices of preseason contenders Paige Bueckers (UConn) and Angel Reese (LSU), who were each dealing at shorter than +400 odds entering the season. After four straight games of 35 points or more in mid-December, it felt like nobody else would ever catch Clark.
