Win Probability
Villanova hosts Rider in a matchup that heavily favors the home team. AccuScore's simulation projects a decisive outcome, one shaped by the Broncs' offensive limitations: Rider is modeled to score 56.1 points, well below what typically keeps a game close. The key to an upset would be Villanova shooting poorly enough to fall well short of its 90.3 projection, but in games where the model has leaned this heavily toward one side, that side won 97% of the time across 630 prior games. On the road, Rider must hope to contain Villanova's scoring and stay within range through the final minutes.
