Simulation Results
A 10,000-game Monte Carlo simulation was run using adjusted offensive/defensive efficiencies from KenPom (Wofford #142 OEff/#156 DEff, Samford #89 OEff/#210 DEff), tempos (Wofford 70.2 plays/min, Samford 72.1), turnover rates (both ~18%), rebounding percentages, recent form (Wofford 4-1 last 5 home, Samford 2-3 road), and minimal injury impacts. Random variance modeled score distributions with Poisson for points.
