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 Utah can win
- Home court: Utah play at home, worth about 3.5 points in women's college basketball.
- Utah's offense (94.8 points per 100 possessions, 135th in Division I) meets a Eastern Washington defense that ranks 237th.
- Strength of schedule: Utah 55th (+1.3), Eastern Washington 233rd (-0.3) of 364.
- Three-point shooting: Utah 52nd (34.1%), Eastern Washington 190th (30.2%) of 364.
- Team matchup: where Utah can take advantage. Their shooting efficiency (47th of 364) meets the Eastern Washington shooting defense (155th), so look for them to get clean looks against a defense that gives them up.
- Star matchup: no key position favors Utah, so they need their depth to beat the other side's stars, with Lani White (15.9 pts, 4.7 reb, 1.5 ast, Game Score 9.8) leading the way.
- Simulation: Utah win 3,185 of 5,000 simulated games.
Disadvantages Why Utah may not
- Recent scoring margins: worth about 1.2 points to Eastern Washington in our ratings.
- Ball security (turnovers per 100 possessions): Eastern Washington 122nd (21.5), Utah 264th (24.7) of 364.
- Range of outcomes: in the worst 10% of simulations Utah lose by 13 or more.
- Season-long ratings: betting lines have rated Eastern Washington about 0.9 points stronger over recent games.
- Team matchup: Eastern Washington have no clear unit-against-unit edge, so their path runs through a hot shooting night or a cold one from the favorite.
- Star matchup: Best player against best player, Kourtney Grossman (Eastern Washington: 13.8 pts, 12.6 reb, 1.2 ast, Game Score 11.8) has the edge on Lani White (Utah: 15.9 pts, 4.7 reb, 1.5 ast, Game Score 9.8).
- Upset odds: Eastern Washington win 1,815 of 5,000 simulations (36%). A 64% pick still loses about 4 times in 10.
