Pythia's preview, written before tip-off

UTEP faces Incarnate Word on 8 November 2026 in an NCAA contest, with the model designating UTEP as the clear favourite thanks to a 93% win probability and a projected 82-65 score that reflects their 0-1 season record, 76.0 points per game and 84.0 allowed per game, placing them 307th in the league, while Incarnate Word sits 0-2 with 57.0 points per game and 78.5 allowed per game, 350th. UTEP's last five games show one win and four losses, including a 78-71 victory over Kennesaw State and defeats to Northern Kentucky 76-84 and Jacksonville State 61-64, whereas Incarnate Word's five-game stretch also includes one win and four losses, with losses to Chicago State 54-66, Oklahoma State 60-91 and Stephen F. Austin 68-76. The teams have not met before, so no head-to-head history is available. Pythia projects a 93% chance for UTEP to win and a 7% chance for Incarnate Word, with a 66% probability that UTEP covers the home line of -12.5 and a 61% probability that the total will exceed 141.5, while the overtime likelihood is 2%.
