No betting line has been posted for this game yet. Sportsbooks usually post college basketball lines the day before; a few small-conference games get one only on game day or not at all. Books also take a line down for a while when a key player's status is unclear. We check ESPN and The Odds API several times a day and add the line as soon as there is one.

Advantages Why Washington State can win
- Home court: Washington State play at home, worth about 3 points in college basketball, more than in the NBA.
- Strength: Washington State rank 40th of 365 in three-point shooting (36.5%).
- Strength: Washington State rank 48th of 365 in effective shooting (eFG%) (54.7%).
- Defensive rebounding (share of misses): Washington State 71st (71.8%), Davidson 157th (70.0%) of 365.
- Team matchup: where Washington State can take advantage. Their shooting efficiency (48th of 365) meets the Davidson shooting defense (132nd), so look for them to get clean looks against a defense that gives them up.
- Star matchup: no key position clearly favors Washington State. The closest: best player against best player, Ace Glass (Washington State: 16.4 pts, 3.0 reb, 2.3 ast, Game Score 10.2) is about even with Josh Scovens (Davidson: 11.1 pts, 4.3 reb, 1.9 ast, Game Score 9.4).
- Simulation: Washington State win 2,900 of 5,000 simulated games.
Disadvantages Why Washington State may not
- Season-long ratings: betting lines have rated Davidson about 1.9 points stronger over recent games.
- Net rating (points per 100 possessions): Davidson 142nd (+2.1), Washington State 218th (-2.3) of 365.
- Ball security (turnovers per 100 possessions): Davidson 121st (15.8), Washington State 292nd (18.4) of 365.
- Recent scoring margins: worth about 1.2 points to Davidson in our ratings.
- Team matchup: where Davidson can push back. Their ball pressure (120th of 365) meets the Washington State ball security (292nd), so look for them to turn steals into easy points in transition. And their shooting efficiency (121st of 365) meets the Washington State shooting defense (248th): a chance to get clean looks against a defense that gives them up.
- Star matchup: the key positions lean Washington State on paper, but Josh Scovens (11.1 pts, 4.3 reb, 1.9 ast, Game Score 9.4) is the kind of player who can swing one game.
- Upset odds: Davidson win 2,100 of 5,000 simulations (42%). A 58% pick still loses about 4 times in 10.
