Advantages Why Rice can win

  1. Season-long ratings: betting lines have rated Rice about 3.4 points stronger over recent games.
  2. Home court: Rice play at home, worth about 3 points in college basketball, more than in the NBA.
  3. Three-point shooting: Rice 153rd (34.3%), East Texas A&M 295th (31.6%) of 365.
  4. Strength: Rice rank 37th of 365 in offensive rebounding (share of misses) (35.3%).
  5. Team matchup: where Rice can take advantage. Their offensive rebounding (37th of 365) meets the East Texas A&M defensive rebounding (298th), so look for them to crash the glass for second chances. And their ball pressure (243rd of 365) meets the East Texas A&M ball security (329th): a chance to turn steals into easy points in transition.
  6. Star matchup: no key position clearly favors Rice. The closest: best player against best player, Nick Anderson (Rice: 15.5 pts, 4.3 reb, 1.2 ast, Game Score 11.5) is about even with Ronnie Harrison (East Texas A&M: 14.7 pts, 6.1 reb, 1.8 ast, Game Score 10.5).
  7. Simulation: Rice win 3,935 of 5,000 simulated games.

Disadvantages Why Rice may not

  1. Range of outcomes: in the worst 10% of simulations Rice lose by 6 or more.
  2. Weak spot: Rice rank 326th of 365 in defensive rebounding (share of misses) (65.4%).
  3. Weak spot: Rice rank 300th of 365 in effective shooting (eFG%) (48.5%).
  4. Weak spot: Rice rank 291st of 365 in defense, points allowed per 100 possessions (113.0).
  5. Team matchup: where East Texas A&M can push back. Their ball pressure (139th of 365) meets the Rice ball security (263rd), so look for them to turn steals into easy points in transition.
  6. Star matchup: the key positions lean Rice on paper, but Ronnie Harrison (14.7 pts, 6.1 reb, 1.8 ast, Game Score 10.5) is the kind of player who can swing one game.
  7. Upset odds: East Texas A&M win 1,065 of 5,000 simulations (21%). A 79% pick still loses about 2 times in 10.
