Advantages Why Grand Canyon can win

  1. Recent scoring margins: worth about 5.0 points to Grand Canyon in our ratings.
  2. Home court: Grand Canyon play at home, worth about 3.5 points in women's college basketball.
  3. Net rating (points per 100 possessions): Grand Canyon 166th (+0.2), Jackson State 287th (-12.0) of 363.
  4. Efficiency (points per 100 possessions): worth about 2.0 points to Grand Canyon in our ratings.
  5. Team matchup: where Grand Canyon can take advantage. Their ball pressure (156th of 363) meets the Jackson State ball security (323rd), so look for them to turn steals into easy points in transition. And their shooting efficiency (177th of 363) meets the Jackson State shooting defense (254th): a chance to get clean looks against a defense that gives them up.
  6. Star matchup: no key position clearly favors Grand Canyon. The closest: best player against best player, Chloe Mann (Grand Canyon: 13.0 pts, 3.3 reb, 3.0 ast, Game Score 7.5) is about even with Rhema Pegues (Jackson State: 9.9 pts, 4.2 reb, 1.2 ast, Game Score 6.5).
  7. Simulation: Grand Canyon win 4,235 of 5,000 simulated games.

Disadvantages Why Grand Canyon may not

  1. Range of outcomes: in the worst 10% of simulations Grand Canyon lose by 4 or more.
  2. Season-long ratings: betting lines have rated Jackson State about 0.6 points stronger over recent games.
  3. Offensive rebounding (share of misses): Jackson State 56th (36.0%), Grand Canyon 164th (31.8%) of 363.
  4. Weak spot: Grand Canyon rank 255th of 363 in ball security (turnovers per 100 possessions) (24.4).
  5. Team matchup: where Jackson State can push back. Their ball pressure (177th of 363) meets the Grand Canyon ball security (255th), so look for them to turn steals into easy points in transition.
  6. Star matchup: the key positions lean Grand Canyon on paper, but Rhema Pegues (9.9 pts, 4.2 reb, 1.2 ast, Game Score 6.5) is the kind of player who can swing one game.
  7. Upset odds: Jackson State win 765 of 5,000 simulations (15%). A 85% pick still loses about 2 times in 10.
