How this game plays

what the study found each side's numbers actually do when these two teams meet
AdvantageWofford
Where Wofford scores: ball control
Wofford turns it over on 13.4% of possessions (#13); Charleston So forces turnovers on 12.8% of opponent possessions (#361). Expect about 12.3%, 4.5 points below an average D1 matchup — worth roughly +5.5 points per 100 possessions.
AdvantageCharleston So
Where Charleston So scores: shooting
Charleston So shoots an effective 54.1% (#66); Wofford allows 53.8% (#294). Expect about 54.2%, 2.9 points above an average D1 matchup — worth roughly +4.2 points per 100 possessions.
Pace
Track meet
Charleston So averages 73.2 possessions per 40, Wofford 68.4. Slower teams pull the pace toward themselves more than fast teams push it (0.80 vs 0.66 in five seasons of games), so expect about 72 — more possessions mean more points in the total and more chances for the better team to separate.
Watch for noise
3-point caution
A notable season 3-point number here (Wofford's defense) 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 Wofford at about 37.1% of its shots from three, Charleston So about 46.6%.
ClashWofford
Style clash: 3-point volume
Wofford takes 43.1% of its shots from three; Charleston So runs teams off the line (31.3% of shots allowed from three) (D1 average 39.5%). Expect about 37.1% — the offense's habit usually carries a bit more weight (0.80 vs 0.64).

Head-to-head

this season and last
No meetings the last two seasons.

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.
