Pace & total

Tempo, possessions per 40 minutes

Projected possessions: 70.3, from each team's opponent-adjusted tempo. On raw 2025-26 season pace, Hawai'i is the faster team (72.4, #17 of 365) and Seattle U the slower (68.8, #160). 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
AdvantageHawai'i
Where Hawai'i struggles: ball control
Hawai'i turns it over on 18.8% of possessions (#314); Seattle U forces turnovers on 21.1% of opponent possessions (#9). Expect about 20.7%, 4.0 points above an average D1 matchup — worth roughly -4.9 points per 100 possessions.
AdvantageSeattle U
Where Seattle U struggles: shooting
Seattle U shoots an effective 49.8% (#249); Hawai'i allows 46.8% (#19). Expect about 48.1%, 3.1 points below an average D1 matchup — worth roughly -4.5 points per 100 possessions.
GlassSeattle U
Seattle U gets out-rebounded
Projected offensive rebound rate of 23.2% is worth roughly -4.4 points per 100 possessions against Seattle U's offense.
Pace
Track meet
Hawai'i averages 72.4 possessions per 40, Seattle U 68.8. 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 71 — more possessions mean more points in the total and more chances for the better team to separate.
DefenseSeattle U
Seattle U's shot-blocking
Seattle U ranks #14 nationally in block rate — one of the few defensive numbers that travels. Expect about 12.3% of Hawai'i's two-point attempts to get blocked against this defense.
Watch for noise
3-point caution
A notable season 3-point number here (Hawai'i'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 Seattle U at about 34.8% of its shots from three, Hawai'i about 38.6%.

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.
