Pythia's preview, written before tip-off

Illinois faces Penn on 5 November 2026 in the NCAA, with the Pythia model designating Illinois as the clear favourite, assigning it a 97% chance of victory largely because of its 1-0 record, 120.0 points per game, and only 45.0 points allowed, placing it second in the league. Illinois has played one game all season, winning 120-45 at home, and its sole home outing remains a 1-0 record with the same scoring figures; its last five games show four wins and one loss, and the recent result listed is a 120-45 victory over Fairleigh Dickinson at home on 2 November 2026. Penn, also at 1-0 for the season, has a 1-0 record all games, 88.0 points per game, 70.0 allowed, and a 1-0 home-only record; its last five games are four wins and one loss, with a recent 88-84 win over Yale on 15 March 2026. The teams have met once before, with Illinois winning 105-70 on 19 March 2026. Pythia projects a 89-66 score, 154.5 total points, and a 31% chance of the over on the 162.5 line, while Illinois has a 97% probability of covering the home spread; the overtime probability is 1%.
