Steps are rounded to one decimal, so they can differ from the total by 0.1: the total steps add to 150.7 against a projected 150.8. The margin is the same build seen from the home side; positive numbers help UNLV.
Pace & total
possessions per 40 minutesTempo, possessions per 40 minutes
Projected possessions: 67.6, from each team's opponent-adjusted tempo. On raw 2025-26 season pace, UNLV is the faster team (70.5, #75 of 365) and N Arizona the slower (65.5, #317). 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 meetAdvantageUNLV
Where UNLV scores: shooting
UNLV shoots an effective 53.6% (#81); N Arizona allows 56.9% (#355). Expect about 55.5%, 4.2 points above an average D1 matchup — worth roughly +6.0 points per 100 possessions.
AdvantageN Arizona
Where N Arizona struggles: the offensive glass
N Arizona rebounds 23.3% of its own misses (#348); UNLV lets opponents grab 32.0% of their own misses (#256). Expect about 26.2%, 4.2 points below an average D1 matchup — worth roughly -2.6 points per 100 possessions.
Pace
Tempo tug-of-war
UNLV averages 70.5 possessions per 40, N Arizona 65.5. 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 68 — more possessions mean more points in the total and more chances for the better team to separate.
Watch for noise
3-point caution
A notable season 3-point number here (N Arizona'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 N Arizona at about 35.4% of its shots from three, UNLV about 37.4%.
DefenseUNLV
UNLV's shot-blocking
UNLV ranks #33 nationally in block rate — one of the few defensive numbers that travels. Expect about 11.4% of N Arizona's two-point attempts to get blocked against this defense.

Head-to-head
this season and lastNo 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.
