Advantages Why Wichita State can win
- Home court: Wichita State play at home, worth about 3 points in college basketball, more than in the NBA.
- Net rating (points per 100 possessions): Wichita State 52nd (+9.8), Cal State Northridge 192nd (-0.9) of 365.
- Season-long ratings: betting lines have rated Wichita State about 2.1 points stronger over recent games.
- Team matchup: no unit-against-unit mismatch clearly favors Wichita State. The nearest thing to one: their offensive rebounding (9th of 365) meets the Cal State Northridge defensive rebounding (27th), close to even, so this is more about execution than one area to exploit.
- Star matchup: no key position favors Wichita State, so they need their depth to beat the other side's stars, with Will Berg (8.8 pts, 8.1 reb, 0.7 ast, Game Score 9.2; filling in for Kenyon Giles, doubtful, not on the team's current roster) leading the way.
- Simulation: Wichita State win 4,545 of 5,000 simulated games.
- The betting market agrees: Wichita State 88% to win after removing the sportsbooks' margin.
Disadvantages Why Wichita State may not
- Weak spot: Wichita State rank 268th of 365 in effective shooting (eFG%) (49.4%).
- Shooting variance: one hot or cold night from three swings college games by 10 points or more.
- Who plays: college basketball has no league-wide injury report, so a late absence can arrive at tip-off.
- Young rosters: freshmen and transfers can change a team's level from one month to the next.
- Team matchup: a strength Wichita State may not get to use. Their offensive rebounding (9th of 365) meets the Cal State Northridge defensive rebounding (27th), one of the better units at stopping it, which can take away their plan to crash the glass for second chances.
- Star matchup: Best player against best player, Josiah Davis (Cal State Northridge: 15.9 pts, 4.6 reb, 7.4 ast, Game Score 11.4; filling in for Joshua O'Garro, doubtful, not on the team's current roster) has the edge on Will Berg (Wichita State: 8.8 pts, 8.1 reb, 0.7 ast, Game Score 9.2; filling in for Kenyon Giles, doubtful, not on the team's current roster).
- Upset odds: Cal State Northridge win 455 of 5,000 simulations (9%). A 91% pick still loses about 1 time in 10.
