First half
West Virginia enters the quarterfinal as the home team against Stanford, and the consensus moneyline sits at WVU -110 with Stanford -110 after opening at -110 on both sides.
DraftKings lists WVU at +105 on the 2-way market with an opening price of -110 and an odds trend marked down, while DraftKings lists Stanford at -125 after opening -110 with an odds trend marked up.
FanDuel posts WVU at -110 after opening -106 with a down trend, and FanDuel posts Stanford at -110 after opening -113 with an up trend.
The spread market shows Stanford favored by 1.5 points at both DraftKings and FanDuel, while WVU takes +1.5 points at both books with the same opening spread of 1.5.
The consensus spread pricing reflects WVU +1.5 at -124 and Stanford -1.5 at +102, and that pricing moved from an opening WVU +1.5 at -130 and Stanford -1.5 at +110, while 88 percent of spread tickets are on Stanford and 12 percent are on WVU.
That ticket split pairs with a number that stayed at Stanford -1.5, and it signals that WVU’s best path is to make Stanford pay for every possession early while keeping the game within one trip as the market suggests.
With WVU listed as the home side in this neutral-site setup, guards like
Honor Huff,
Jayden Forsythe, and
Treysen Eaglestaff are positioned to dictate tempo in the opening half against a spread that expects tight margins.
Second half
The total has climbed to 136.5 at both DraftKings and FanDuel, and that total moved up from openers of 133.5 at DraftKings and 134.5 at FanDuel.
DraftKings prices the over 136.5 at -105 and the under 136.5 at -115 after both opened at -110, while FanDuel lists over 136.5 at -110 after opening -105 and under 136.5 at -110 after opening -115.
That upward move in points aligns with a game script where late-game free throws and pace can matter, which keeps WVU’s half-court execution and ball security central if the Mountaineers want to beat a Stanford side laying 1.5.
