Pace & total

possessions per 40 minutes
Tempo, possessions per 40 minutes

Projected possessions: 70.8, from each team's opponent-adjusted tempo. On raw 2025-26 season pace, UAB is the faster team (70.4, #78 of 365) and G Washington the slower (69.9, #97). 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
Pace
Track meet
UAB averages 70.4 possessions per 40, G Washington 69.9. 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.
AdvantageUAB
Where UAB scores: ball control
UAB turns it over on 12.5% of possessions (#2); G Washington forces turnovers on 17.7% of opponent possessions (#114). Expect about 14.9%, 1.8 points below an average D1 matchup — worth roughly +2.2 points per 100 possessions.
Watch for noise
3-point caution
A notable season 3-point number here (UAB) 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 G Washington at about 45.3% of its shots from three, UAB about 34.6%.
AdvantageG Washington
Where G Washington scores: shooting
G Washington shoots an effective 54.4% (#55); UAB allows 50.0% (#98). Expect about 52.5%, 1.2 points above an average D1 matchup — worth roughly +1.7 points per 100 possessions.
ClashG Washington
Strength vs strength: offensive rebounding
G Washington (#26 in offensive rebounding) against UAB (#53 in the same stat allowed) — both rank inside the national top 60. Expect about 32.9%. Historically G Washington's own number has carried a bit more weight in that exchange (0.70 vs 0.49).
ClashUAB
Style clash: 3-point volume
UAB rarely shoots threes (30.5% of its shots); G Washington lets opponents take 43.0% of their shots from three (D1 average 39.5%). Expect about 34.6% — 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.
