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 Buffalo can win
- Home court: Buffalo play at home, worth about 3.5 points in women's college basketball.
- Defensive rebounding (share of misses): Buffalo 254th (66.5%), Georgia State 360th (57.3%) of 364.
- Strength: Buffalo rank 59th of 364 in offensive rebounding (share of misses) (35.9%).
- Relative strength: Buffalo rank 156th of 364 in strength of schedule (+0.2).
- Team matchup: where Buffalo can take advantage. Their offensive rebounding (59th of 364) meets the Georgia State defensive rebounding (360th), so look for them to crash the glass for second chances.
- Star matchup: no key position favors Buffalo, so they need their depth to beat the other side's stars, with Meg Lucas (9.9 pts, 9.6 reb, 0.9 ast, Game Score 7.8) leading the way.
- Simulation: Buffalo win 2,570 of 5,000 simulated games.

- Team matchup: where Georgia State can push back. Their ball pressure (50th of 364) meets the Buffalo ball security (345th), so look for them to turn steals into easy points in transition.
- Star matchup: Best player against best player, Crystal Henderson (Georgia State: 16.7 pts, 3.0 reb, 4.1 ast, Game Score 10.7) has the edge on Meg Lucas (Buffalo: 9.9 pts, 9.6 reb, 0.9 ast, Game Score 7.8).
