College Basketball: Top Players by Matchup

The Top Players by Matchup page shows you a few essential things to help you build CBB lineups. First, it shows Pace x Eff which is one way of creating an “expected team points” projection. It multiplies the average pace of both teams by the average offensive/defensive efficiency (points for or allowed per possession). A higher total here means that the team should be expected to score more.

The next thing shown is the top fantasy point per game performers for each team. CBB is a challenging game because of massive player pools, so here you can find the top TOTAL OUTPUT performers in terms of FPPG. We show the #1 guard in terms of total fantasy points, #2 guard, #1 forward, #2 forward and #1 center for each team.

NOTE: THESE CHARTS DO NOT ACCOUNT FOR INJURIES. Players shown below are based on total fantasy points for this season and do not update for players missing games
