Watch for noise
3-point caution
A notable season 3-point number here (St John's'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 St John's at about 37.7% of its shots from three, Oregon about 38.0%.
ClashOregon
Style clash: 3-point volume
Oregon takes 42.8% of its shots from three; St John's runs teams off the line (33.1% of shots allowed from three) (D1 average 39.5%). Expect about 38.0% — 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.
