Win Probability
Virginia hosts Bucknell in a matchup where the simulation decisively favors the Cavaliers. Thijs De Ridder has a 46% chance of exceeding 27 points, rebounds and assists, while Rocco Lamuno leads Bucknell's projection with a 49% chance of topping 18 combined. The game turns on whether Virginia's depth can overwhelm a Bucks team that will need contributions across its roster to keep pace. On games shaped this strongly in AccuScore's record, the favored side won 97% of the time across 560 graded contests. For Bucknell to stay competitive, multiple players would need to hit their high-end projections simultaneously while Virginia's role players underperform.
