| Saint Louis | Virginia Tech | |
|---|---|---|
| Offensive Efficiency (rank) | 0.979 (248th) | 1.120 (10th) |
| Defensive Efficiency (rank) | 0.931 (25th) | 0.940 (35th) |
| Adjusted Off. Eff. (rank) | 102.7 (208th) | 118.5 (12th) |
| Adjusted Def. Eff. (rank) | 96.5 (43rd) | 94.4 (25th) |
| KenPom Ranking | 103rd | 11th |
