Stanford Cardinal vs UT Arlington Mavericks Betting Preview
Stanford returns home looking to stabilize after a pair of recent losses on its own floor. The Cardinal are 8-2 overall, but two of their last three home games ended in narrow defeats, creating a different betting profile than earlier in the season. You can track current pricing and movement on the NCAA basketball odds page.
Texas-Arlington arrives at 7-3 and has already proven it can win away from home. The Mavericks have taken three of their last four road games, including wins at Evansville and Weber State. Defense travels, and that has been their identity through the first month.
Stanford scored 86 points in its most recent outing at San Jose State, but that win came without freshman star Ebuka Okorie. His lower-body injury remains a key variable as Stanford prepares for conference play. AJ Rohosy stepped up with a season-high 20 points, but the offensive flow shifts significantly without Okorie’s shot creation.

Line Movement and Odds
Stanford opens as the favorite, but the number is sensitive to Okorie’s availability. Without him, the Cardinal’s margin shrinks, especially against a defensive-minded opponent. Totals lean moderate, balancing Stanford’s scoring ceiling against UT Arlington’s ability to slow tempo.

Matchup Breakdown
Stanford wins when it plays fast and scores efficiently from the perimeter. The Cardinal are undefeated when reaching 77 points, a mark they’ve cleared seven times already. Ball movement and transition scoring matter more if Okorie sits, forcing others to generate offense.
Texas-Arlington wants a grind. The Mavericks have held five opponents to 61 points or fewer, winning every time. Marcell McCreary leads a balanced rotation, and KT Turner leans on depth to keep pressure high for 40 minutes. If UT Arlington dictates pace and limits clean perimeter looks, they stay live deep into the game.
