ClashSt Bonaventure

St Bonaventure rarely shoots threes (31.3% of its shots); Youngstown St runs teams off the line (34.3% of shots allowed from three) (D1 average 39.5%). Expect about 29.6% — both habits push the same way.

Watch for noise
3-point caution
A notable season 3-point number here (St Bonaventure) is close to a coin flip going forward — the study's model of next-game 3P% barely beats guessing the D1 average. Shot volume is what actually carries: expect Youngstown St at about 48.2% of its shots from three, St Bonaventure about 29.6%.

St Bonaventure rebounds 34.5% of its own misses (#60); Youngstown St lets opponents grab 30.7% of their own misses (#191). Expect about 33.4%, 3.0 points above an average D1 matchup — worth roughly +1.8 points per 100 possessions.

The CBB Matchups tab lays out the day's Division I slate: matchup, tip time, records and rank, and — once posted — Pinnacle's spread and total (the median across books when Pinnacle has no line). Three views switch the table between projected scores, pace and totals, and each team's offensive and defensive tendencies. Each game opens into opponent-adjusted possessions, efficiency and four-factor tendencies for both teams, plus recent form, rotation and head-to-head history. Every game also carries our projected score, spread and total, built bottom-up from those same numbers: expected possessions times each side's opponent-adjusted points per possession, plus home court.

What these numbers mean: line shopping.
