Get Louisville vs Stanford predictions for college basketball Thursday.
Stanford will square off with the favored Louisville in women's college basketball action at Maples Pavilion on Thursday, starting at 8:00 PM ET.
The championship matchup pairs two 14–3 teams coming off sharply contrasting conference title games, with New England advancing through a low-scoring, snow-filled AFC Championship win over Denver and Seattle earning its place after a 31–27 NFC Championship thriller against the Rams.
The clash also spotlights two offensive focal points, with Drake Maye guiding New England through a composed, run-focused AFC title performance and Jaxon Smith-Njigba entering as Seattle’s primary playmaker following a 153-yard, one-touchdown outing in the NFC Championship.
Based on updated simulations, Dimers' new women's basketball model projects Louisville as the most likely winner of the Louisville vs. Stanford game.
