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.

Not a promise: a 83% pick still loses about 2 times in 10.

Advantages Why Syracuse can win

  1. Net rating (points per 100 possessions): Syracuse 66th (+12.3), Sacred Heart 249th (-7.5) of 364.
  2. Recent scoring margins: worth about 3.3 points to Syracuse in our ratings.
  3. Home court: Syracuse play at home, worth about 3.5 points in women's college basketball.
  4. Syracuse's offense (99.9 points per 100 possessions, 62nd in Division I) meets a Sacred Heart defense that ranks 194th.
  5. Team matchup: where Syracuse can take advantage. Their ball pressure (73rd of 364) meets the Sacred Heart ball security (341st), so look for them to turn steals into easy points in transition. And their offensive rebounding (7th of 364) meets the Sacred Heart defensive rebounding (168th): a chance to crash the glass for second chances. Pace clash: Syracuse play fast (78th of 364 in pace), Sacred Heart slow (323rd); whoever sets the tempo gets the game they want.
  6. Star matchup: Best player against best player, Uche Izoje (Syracuse: 15.6 pts, 9.2 reb, 1.4 ast, Game Score 12.9) has the edge on Amelia Wood (Sacred Heart: 12.9 pts, 6.5 reb, 2.1 ast, Game Score 10.2).
  7. Simulation: Syracuse win 4,160 of 5,000 simulated games.

Disadvantages Why Syracuse may not

  1. Range of outcomes: in the worst 10% of simulations Syracuse lose by 5 or more.
  2. Getting to the line (free throws per shot): Sacred Heart 40th (0.24), Syracuse 255th (0.18) of 364.
  3. Weak spot: Syracuse rank 255th of 364 in getting to the line (free throws per shot) (0.18).
  4. Shooting variance: one hot or cold night from three swings college games by 10 points or more.
  5. Team matchup: Sacred Heart 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 Syracuse on paper, but Amelia Wood (12.9 pts, 6.5 reb, 2.1 ast, Game Score 10.2) is the kind of player who can swing one game.
  7. Upset odds: Sacred Heart win 840 of 5,000 simulations (17%). A 83% pick still loses about 2 times in 10.
