Pythia's preview, written before tip-off

Columbia W hosts Davidson W on 2 November 2026 in the NCAA Women competition, with the Pythia model naming Columbia W the clear favourite at 86% to win versus 14% for Davidson W, a reflection of Columbia's dominant 5-0 run at home and Davidson's 4-1 record on the road. Columbia W has won every one of its last five games, including a 81-64 victory over BYU W, a 67-50 win against Wisconsin Badgers W, and a 74-68 triumph over California Golden Bears W, all away, while Davidson W has won four of its last five, with a 64-59 home win over Saint Josephs Hawks W and a 74-62 home win over St. Louis Billikens, but suffered a 46-55 loss to Rhode Island W away. The Pythia model projects a 74-61 score for the game, with a combined 135.2 points, and gives Columbia W a 3% chance of overtime. The home team's line is not listed, so no cover probability is provided. The game will be decided by Columbia's strong recent form and Davidson's mixed results.

Written by Pythia from this game's frozen forecast, the market's main lines and both teams' results.
