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 91% pick still loses about 1 time in 10.

Advantages Why Ohio State can win

  1. Recent scoring margins: worth about 5.3 points to Ohio State in our ratings.
  2. Ohio State's offense (106.2 points per 100 possessions, 25th in Division I) meets a UIC defense that ranks 277th.
  3. Home court: Ohio State play at home, worth about 3.5 points in women's college basketball.
  4. Season-long ratings: betting lines have rated Ohio State about 2.6 points stronger over recent games.
  5. Team matchup: where Ohio State can take advantage. Their shooting efficiency (20th of 364) meets the UIC shooting defense (297th), so look for them to get clean looks against a defense that gives them up. Pace clash: Ohio State play fast (19th of 364 in pace), UIC slow (295th); whoever sets the tempo gets the game they want.
  6. Star matchup: Best player against best player, Jaloni Cambridge (Ohio State: 23.2 pts, 5.6 reb, 4.4 ast, Game Score 17.3) has the edge on Jessica Carrothers (UIC: 18.0 pts, 3.2 reb, 4.2 ast, Game Score 13.5).
  7. Simulation: Ohio State win 4,570 of 5,000 simulated games.

Disadvantages Why Ohio State may not

  1. Range of outcomes: in the worst 10% of simulations Ohio State lose by 1 or more.
  2. Shooting variance: one hot or cold night from three swings college games by 10 points or more.
  3. Who plays: women's college basketball has no league-wide injury report, so a late absence can arrive at tip-off.
  4. Young rosters: freshmen and transfers can change a team's level from one month to the next.
  5. Team matchup: where UIC can push back. Their shooting efficiency (116th of 364) meets the Ohio State shooting defense (206th), so look for them to get clean looks against a defense that gives them up.
  6. Star matchup: the key positions lean Ohio State on paper, but Jessica Carrothers (18.0 pts, 3.2 reb, 4.2 ast, Game Score 13.5) is the kind of player who can swing one game.
  7. Upset odds: UIC win 430 of 5,000 simulations (9%). A 91% pick still loses about 1 time in 10.
