How this game plays

what the study found each side's numbers actually do when these two teams meet
AdvantageArizona St
Where Arizona St scores: shooting
Arizona St shoots an effective 51.1% (#190); UL Monroe allows 57.1% (#358). Expect about 54.2%, 2.9 points above an average D1 matchup — worth roughly +4.1 points per 100 possessions.
Pace
Track meet
Arizona St averages 70.6 possessions per 40, UL Monroe 70.7. 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.
DefenseArizona St
Arizona St's shot-blocking
Arizona St ranks #30 nationally in block rate — one of the few defensive numbers that travels. Expect about 12.6% of UL Monroe's two-point attempts to get blocked against this defense.
AdvantageUL Monroe
Where UL Monroe struggles: shooting
UL Monroe shoots an effective 47.8% (#316); Arizona St allows 52.4% (#235). Expect about 49.8%, 1.5 points below an average D1 matchup — worth roughly -2.1 points per 100 possessions.
Watch for noise
3-point caution
A notable season 3-point number here (UL Monroe'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 UL Monroe at about 42.0% of its shots from three, Arizona St about 40.4%.

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.
