Tempo, possessions per 40 minutes

Projected possessions: 67.4, from each team's opponent-adjusted tempo. On raw 2025-26 season pace, Tennessee Tech is the faster team (68.3, #186 of 365) and Indiana the slower (66.6, #263). When tempos clash, the slower team usually pulls the pace harder (study weights 0.80 vs 0.66).

How this game plays

what the study found each side's numbers actually do when these two teams meet

AdvantageIndiana

Where Indiana scores: shooting

Indiana shoots an effective 56.1% (#22); Tennessee Tech allows 51.5% (#186). Expect about 54.2%, 2.9 points above an average D1 matchup — worth roughly +4.2 points per 100 possessions.

AdvantageTennessee Tech

Where Tennessee Tech struggles: shooting

Tennessee Tech shoots an effective 48.9% (#293); Indiana allows 49.0% (#68). Expect about 48.7%, 2.6 points below an average D1 matchup — worth roughly -3.7 points per 100 possessions.

TurnoversIndiana

Indiana protects the ball

Projected turnover rate of 14.7% is worth roughly +2.5 points per 100 possessions for Indiana's offense.

ClashIndiana

Style clash: 3-point volume

Indiana takes 50.5% of its shots from three; Tennessee Tech runs teams off the line (36.1% of shots allowed from three) (D1 average 39.5%). Expect about 46.2% — the offense's habit usually carries a bit more weight (0.80 vs 0.64).

Watch for noise

3-point caution

A notable season 3-point number here (Tennessee Tech) 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 Tennessee Tech at about 35.3% of its shots from three, Indiana about 46.2%.

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.
