Pythia's preview, written before tip-off

Villanova will host La Salle on 10 November 2026 in the NCAA, and the Pythia model names Villanova the clear favourite, giving them a 95% chance of victory because of their 1-1 record, 83.5 points per game and 70.0 points allowed per game, both better than La Salle's 71.5 points scored and 87.0 points allowed. Villanova's season so far shows a 1-1 record, 83.5 points per game, 70.0 allowed, and a 197 league position, while their home record is 1-1 with the same averages; their last five games include a 95-66 win over Holy Cross, a 72-74 loss to Notre Dame, and a 76-86 loss to Utah State. La Salle also sits at 1-1, 71.5 points per game, 87.0 allowed, and a 258 league position, with a 0-1 road record of 55.0 points and 94.0 allowed; their last five games feature an 88-80 win over LIU Sharks, a 55-94 loss to Houston, and an 80-99 loss to St. Bonaventure. In the four meetings between the teams, Villanova has won all four, most recently 70-55 on 19 November 2025. Pythia projects a 85-66 score, 151.1 total points, a 40% chance that Villanova will cover the -22.5 spread, a 39% chance of the over on the 155.5 total, and a 1% probability of overtime. The game will likely see Villanova dominate early and maintain their lead.
