Before locking in any 2022 Women’s NCAA Tournament picks or women’s college basketball parlays, you need to check out the women’s college basketball predictions and betting advice from SportsLine experts Calvin Wetzel and Aaron Barzilai.

Barzilai is a Ph.D. from Stanford who served as Director of Basketball Analytics for the Philadelphia 76ers. Five years ago, he founded HerHoopStats.com — a groundbreaking website that unlocks insights about the women’s game. Wetzel, the site’s lead betting writer, incorporates his mathematical background and strong knowledge of women’s NCAA hoops to turn the site’s prediction model into picks.

Barzilai and Wetzel got off to a fast start with SportsLine as they went 13-7 on their first 20 picks. Through March 13, they were 559-408 overall (+113.80 units, +12.99 percent) in the 2021-22 women’s college basketball season.

Now, Barzilai and Wetzel have scoured the schedule to find the value and come up with their best bets for Saturday’s games. Parlaying these three 2022 Women’s NCAA Tournament picks would pay more than 12-1. You can only see the picks at SportsLine.

Wetzel and Barzilai’s prediction model crunched the numbers, and the expert are calling for the UConn Huskies (-7.5) to cover against the Indiana Hoosiers. Because of an injury to star Paige Bueckers, the Huskies (27-5) had a relatively subpar season; their five regular season losses were the most since 2005. Meanwhile the Hoosiers (24-8) are hoping to match last season’s Elite Eight appearance, the first in program history.

But not only is Bueckers back for the Huskies, they’ll have another significant advantage on Saturday, according to Wetzel and Barzilai. “This game is in Connecticut, so it’s one step short of a home game for UConn,” they say. “This line is priced like a neutral site game, so take it as long as it stays in single digits.”
