How this game plays

what the study found each side's numbers actually do when these two teams meet
AdvantageMaine
Where Maine struggles: the offensive glass
Maine rebounds 19.7% of its own misses (#364); Le Moyne lets opponents grab 29.1% of their own misses (#107). Expect about 22.3%, 8.1 points below an average D1 matchup — worth roughly -5.0 points per 100 possessions.
AdvantageLe Moyne
Where Le Moyne struggles: ball control
Le Moyne turns it over on 19.1% of possessions (#327); Maine forces turnovers on 19.4% of opponent possessions (#36). Expect about 19.8%, 3.0 points above an average D1 matchup — worth roughly -3.7 points per 100 possessions.
DefenseMaine
Maine's ball-hawking
Maine ranks #25 nationally in steal rate — one of the few defensive numbers that travels. Expect about 11.7% of Le Moyne's possessions to end in a steal against this defense.
Watch for noise
3-point caution
A notable season 3-point number here (Maine'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 Maine at about 37.6% of its shots from three, Le Moyne about 38.8%.

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.
