Pace & total

possessions per 40 minutes
Tempo, possessions per 40 minutes

Projected possessions: 74.2, from each team's opponent-adjusted tempo. On raw 2025-26 season pace, IU Indy is the faster team (74.9, #4 of 365) and Oakland the slower (71.1, #46). 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
IU Indy averages 74.9 possessions per 40, Oakland 71.1. 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 75 — more possessions mean more points in the total and more chances for the better team to separate.
AdvantageOakland
Where Oakland scores: shooting
Oakland shoots an effective 52.7% (#114); IU Indy allows 58.2% (#362). Expect about 55.7%, 4.4 points above an average D1 matchup — worth roughly +6.2 points per 100 possessions.
ClashIU Indy
Style match: ball movement
IU Indy assists on 61.9% of its made baskets; Oakland allows assists on 66.3% of opponents' baskets (D1 average 52.4%). Expect about 67.6% — both habits push the same way.
AdvantageIU Indy
Where IU Indy scores: shooting
IU Indy shoots an effective 52.2% (#136); Oakland allows 54.7% (#322). Expect about 53.6%, 2.3 points above an average D1 matchup — worth roughly +3.3 points per 100 possessions.
ClashOakland
Style match: 3-point volume
Oakland rarely shoots threes (34.0% of its shots); IU Indy runs teams off the line (35.7% of shots allowed from three) (D1 average 39.5%). Expect about 32.7% — both habits push the same way.
Watch for noise
3-point caution
A notable season 3-point number here (IU Indy'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 Oakland at about 32.7% of its shots from three, IU Indy about 43.0%.

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.
