Pace & total

Tempo, possessions per 40 minutes

Projected possessions: 71.4, from each team's opponent-adjusted tempo. On raw 2025-26 season pace, Winthrop is the faster team (71.7, #29 of 365) and Queens the slower (70.6, #68). 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
AdvantageQueens
Where Queens scores: shooting
Queens shoots an effective 56.4% (#15); Winthrop allows 51.4% (#182). Expect about 54.4%, 3.1 points above an average D1 matchup — worth roughly +4.4 points per 100 possessions.
Pace
Track meet
Queens averages 70.6 possessions per 40, Winthrop 71.7. 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.
AdvantageWinthrop
Where Winthrop scores: ball control
Winthrop turns it over on 14.7% of possessions (#50); Queens forces turnovers on 15.1% of opponent possessions (#277). Expect about 14.5%, 2.2 points below an average D1 matchup — worth roughly +2.7 points per 100 possessions.
GlassWinthrop
Winthrop owns the glass
Projected offensive rebound rate of 34.6% is worth roughly +2.5 points per 100 possessions for Winthrop's offense.
ClashQueens
Style match: 3-point volume
Queens takes 46.5% of its shots from three; Winthrop lets opponents take 42.8% of their shots from three (D1 average 39.5%). Expect about 47.2% — both habits push the same way.
Watch for noise
3-point caution
A notable season 3-point number here (Queens'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 Winthrop at about 43.2% of its shots from three, Queens about 47.2%.

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.
