Texas faces Chicago State in the NCAA on 2 November 2026, and the Pythia model names Texas as the clear favourite with a 94% chance of victory, reflecting the team's dominant season performance and the 84-65 projected score; Chicago State has only a 6% chance of winning. Texas is projected to score 84 points to Chicago State's 65, giving a total of 148.9 points, which is below the 150.0 over/under line and the model assigns a 47% probability that the game will go over. The teams' recent form shows Texas winning three of its last five games, including a 79-71 win over Brigham Young, while Chicago State has won only one of its last five, losing to LIU Sharks, Wagner and again to LIU Sharks. In their sole prior encounter on 12 November 2024, Texas defeated Chicago State 105-58. The overtime probability is 1%, and the game is expected to stay within the projected points range, with Texas maintaining its historical advantage in head-to-head matchups.

Half by half
TexasChicago State
Each team's average half over its last 10 games. Net is the half margin (above zero = the team wins that half on average: who starts fast, who closes); Pythia projection = the half means of tonight's simulation. Hover a bar for its value.
Markets that span the whole game: how the halves and quarters compare, overtime, the exact winning margin. Pythia's probability comes from 20,000 simulations of this game quarter by quarter; the price, edge and books are the same as everywhere on the page.
Every selection Pythia rates above 70%, ranked by edge (click any column to re-sort). Use Min odds to match the prices you want; Edge = Yes shows only selections priced BELOW what the model makes them. The five price columns are the best market prices (highest first); edge is vs the consensus price.
