Pace & total

possessions per 40 minutes
Tempo, possessions per 40 minutes

Projected possessions: 67.4, from each team's opponent-adjusted tempo. On raw 2025-26 season pace, Iona is the faster team (68.4, #177 of 365) and Bryant the slower (64.4, #347). 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
AdvantageBryant
Where Bryant struggles: shooting
Bryant shoots an effective 46.9% (#340); Iona allows 48.9% (#64). Expect about 47.5%, 3.8 points below an average D1 matchup — worth roughly -5.3 points per 100 possessions.
Pace
Tempo tug-of-war
Bryant averages 64.4 possessions per 40, Iona 68.4. 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 65 — more possessions mean more points in the total and more chances for the better team to separate.
TurnoversBryant
Bryant turns it over
Projected turnover rate of 18.7% is worth roughly -2.3 points per 100 possessions against Bryant's offense.
Watch for noise
3-point caution
A notable season 3-point number here (Bryant, Bryant's defense, Iona'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 Iona at about 42.2% of its shots from three, Bryant about 47.0%.
AdvantageIona
Where Iona scores: shooting
Iona shoots an effective 51.9% (#149); Bryant allows 52.7% (#257). Expect about 52.4%, 1.1 points above an average D1 matchup — worth roughly +1.6 points per 100 possessions.
ClashIona
Style clash: 3-point volume
Iona takes 45.9% of its shots from three; Bryant runs teams off the line (35.8% of shots allowed from three) (D1 average 39.5%). Expect about 42.2% — the offense's habit usually carries a bit more weight (0.80 vs 0.64).

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.
