How this game plays

what the study found each side's numbers actually do when these two teams meet
AdvantageIdaho
Where Idaho scores: ball control
Idaho turns it over on 15.0% of possessions (#64); Washington St forces turnovers on 14.6% of opponent possessions (#317). Expect about 14.3%, 2.4 points below an average D1 matchup — worth roughly +3.0 points per 100 possessions.
AdvantageWashington St
Where Washington St scores: shooting
Washington St shoots an effective 54.7% (#48); Idaho allows 50.5% (#128). Expect about 52.9%, 1.6 points above an average D1 matchup — worth roughly +2.3 points per 100 possessions.
GlassWashington St
Washington St gets out-rebounded
Projected offensive rebound rate of 26.8% is worth roughly -2.2 points per 100 possessions against Washington St's offense.
Watch for noise
3-point caution
A notable season 3-point number here (Washington St) 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 Idaho at about 43.7% of its shots from three, Washington St about 41.1%.
GlassIdaho
Idaho gets out-rebounded
Projected offensive rebound rate of 27.9% is worth roughly -1.5 points per 100 possessions against Idaho's offense.
ClashWashington St
Style clash: 3-point volume
Washington St takes 44.8% of its shots from three; Idaho runs teams off the line (35.4% of shots allowed from three) (D1 average 39.5%). Expect about 41.1% — 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.
