Pace & total

Tempo, possessions per 40 minutes

Projected possessions: 65.0, from each team's opponent-adjusted tempo. On raw 2025-26 season pace, Indiana is the faster team (66.6, #263 of 365) and Jacksonville the slower (65.2, #328). 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); Jacksonville allows 54.8% (#325). Expect about 55.9%, 4.6 points above an average D1 matchup — worth roughly +6.5 points per 100 possessions.
Pace
Half-court grind
Indiana averages 66.6 possessions per 40, Jacksonville 65.2. 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 65 — more possessions mean more points in the total and more chances for the better team to separate.
AdvantageJacksonville
Where Jacksonville struggles: shooting
Jacksonville shoots an effective 50.0% (#232); Indiana allows 49.0% (#68). Expect about 49.4%, 1.9 points below an average D1 matchup — worth roughly -2.7 points per 100 possessions.
TurnoversIndiana
Indiana protects the ball
Projected turnover rate of 14.6% is worth roughly +2.6 points per 100 possessions for Indiana's offense.
Watch for noise
3-point caution
A notable season 3-point number here (Jacksonville'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 Jacksonville at about 36.1% of its shots from three, Indiana about 45.6%.
GlassIndiana
Indiana gets out-rebounded
Projected offensive rebound rate of 27.3% is worth roughly -1.9 points per 100 possessions against Indiana's offense.

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.
