No betting line has been posted for this game yet. Sportsbooks post lines for many women's college games only on game day, and smaller-conference games often get none at all. Books also take a line down for a while when a key player's status is unclear. We check ESPN's lines before each day's games and add the line as soon as there is one.

Advantages Why New Mexico State can win

  1. Home court: New Mexico State play at home, worth about 3.5 points in women's college basketball.
  2. Simulation: New Mexico State win 2,840 of 5,000 simulated games.
  3. Relative strength: New Mexico State rank 131st of 364 in turnovers forced per 100 possessions (23.5).
  4. Relative strength: New Mexico State rank 153rd of 364 in strength of schedule (+0.2).
  5. Relative strength: New Mexico State rank 248th of 364 in defensive rebounding (share of misses) (66.6%).
  6. Team matchup: where New Mexico State can take advantage. Their ball pressure (131st of 364) meets the San Diego ball security (290th), so look for them to turn steals into easy points in transition.
  7. Star matchup: no key position clearly favors New Mexico State. The closest: best player against best player, Lucia Yenes (New Mexico State: 12.6 pts, 5.4 reb, 1.4 ast, Game Score 7.1) is about even with Kylie Ray (San Diego: 15.9 pts, 5.4 reb, 2.7 ast, Game Score 6.3).

Disadvantages Why New Mexico State may not

  1. Recent scoring margins: worth about 2.5 points to San Diego in our ratings.
  2. Upset odds: San Diego win 2,160 of 5,000 simulations (43%). A 57% pick still loses about 4 times in 10.
  3. Season-long ratings: betting lines have rated San Diego about 0.9 points stronger over recent games.
  4. Efficiency (points per 100 possessions): worth about 0.9 points to San Diego in our ratings.
  5. Range of outcomes: in the worst 10% of simulations New Mexico State lose by 14 or more.
  6. Team matchup: where San Diego can push back. Their offensive rebounding (81st of 364) meets the New Mexico State defensive rebounding (248th), so look for them to crash the glass for second chances. And their ball pressure (278th of 364) meets the New Mexico State ball security (351st): a chance to turn steals into easy points in transition.
  7. Star matchup: the key positions lean New Mexico State on paper, but Kylie Ray (15.9 pts, 5.4 reb, 2.7 ast, Game Score 6.3) is the kind of player who can swing one game.
