Virginia vs. Pittsburgh

Virginia is playing at the slowest pace in the country in total possessions per game while ranking just 218th in points per possession. Pittsburgh ranks 90th in points per possession allowed on defense and should hold down a Virginia offense that is 340th in road 2-point shooting percentage.

Alabama State is seventh in the country in fewest turnovers per possession on offense and faces a Florida A&M team that ranks 337th in points per possession allowed and 350th in points per possession on offense.

Alabama A&M vs. Bethune-Cookman

Alabama A&M ranks third in the country in possessions per game but is 280th in points per possession allowed and 358th in opponent 3-point shooting percentage.

Additionally, Alabama A&M allows opponents to rebound 39.9% of their missed shots in road games, ranking 362nd in road defensive rebound percentage.
