Advantages Why McNeese can win
- Recent scoring margins: worth about 7.2 points to McNeese in our ratings.
- Net rating (points per 100 possessions): McNeese 30th (+17.8), Grambling 248th (-7.9) of 363.
- Home court: McNeese play at home, worth about 3.5 points in women's college basketball.
- Efficiency (points per 100 possessions): worth about 2.1 points to McNeese in our ratings.
- Team matchup: where McNeese can take advantage. Their ball pressure (1st of 363) meets the Grambling ball security (262nd), so look for them to turn steals into easy points in transition. And their offensive rebounding (226th of 363) meets the Grambling defensive rebounding (337th): a chance to crash the glass for second chances. Pace clash: Grambling play fast (40th of 363 in pace), McNeese slow (294th); whoever sets the tempo gets the game they want.
- Star matchup: no key position clearly favors McNeese. The closest: best player against best player, Shaniah Nunn (Grambling: 12.3 pts, 7.9 reb, 0.8 ast, Game Score 9.2) is about even with Jalencia Pierre (McNeese: 9.6 pts, 2.3 reb, 3.8 ast, Game Score 8.2).
- Simulation: McNeese win 4,525 of 5,000 simulated games.
Disadvantages Why McNeese may not
- Range of outcomes: in the worst 10% of simulations McNeese lose by 1 or more.
- Weak spot: McNeese rank 280th of 363 in getting to the line (free throws per shot) (0.18).
- Getting to the line (free throws per shot): Grambling 184th (0.20), McNeese 280th (0.18) of 363.
- Shooting variance: one hot or cold night from three swings college games by 10 points or more.
- Team matchup: where Grambling can push back. Their offensive rebounding (62nd of 363) meets the McNeese defensive rebounding (140th), so look for them to crash the glass for second chances.
- Star matchup: the key positions lean McNeese on paper, but Shaniah Nunn (12.3 pts, 7.9 reb, 0.8 ast, Game Score 9.2) is the kind of player who can swing one game.
- Upset odds: Grambling win 475 of 5,000 simulations (9%). A 90% pick still loses about 1 time in 10.
