Advantages Why LSU can win

  1. Net rating (points per 100 possessions): LSU 2nd (+45.3), Texas Southern 333rd (-18.8) of 363.
  2. Recent scoring margins: worth about 17.3 points to LSU in our ratings.
  3. Season-long ratings: betting lines have rated LSU about 8.7 points stronger over recent games.
  4. Efficiency (points per 100 possessions): worth about 7.7 points to LSU in our ratings.
  5. Team matchup: where LSU can take advantage. Their offensive rebounding (1st of 363) meets the Texas Southern defensive rebounding (338th), so look for them to crash the glass for second chances. And their ball pressure (53rd of 363) meets the Texas Southern ball security (319th): a chance to turn steals into easy points in transition.
  6. Star matchup: Best player against best player, MiLaysia Fulwiley (LSU: 14.8 pts, 3.5 reb, 3.6 ast, Game Score 13.1) has the edge on Daeja Holmes (Texas Southern: 12.0 pts, 4.1 reb, 2.4 ast, Game Score 7.6).
  7. Simulation: LSU win 4,995 of 5,000 simulated games.

Disadvantages Why LSU may not

  1. Shooting variance: one hot or cold night from three swings college games by 10 points or more.
  2. Who plays: women's college basketball has no league-wide injury report, so a late absence can arrive at tip-off.
  3. Young rosters: freshmen and transfers can change a team's level from one month to the next.
  4. Small samples: early-season numbers come from a handful of games against very different opponents.
  5. Team matchup: Texas Southern have no clear unit-against-unit edge, so their path runs through a hot shooting night or a cold one from the favorite.
  6. Star matchup: the key positions lean LSU on paper, but Daeja Holmes (12.0 pts, 4.1 reb, 2.4 ast, Game Score 7.6) is the kind of player who can swing one game.
  7. Upset odds: Texas Southern win 5 of 5,000 simulations (under 1%). Even a pick this strong still loses about 1 time in 100.
