How is NCAAB first-half scoring measured here?

Every number comes from logged final half-by-half scores — 3,593 games over the last year. "For" is what the team scored in the opening half; "against" is what they gave up.

How do bettors use first-half stats?

Mostly for first-half and half-time markets: if a team consistently starts fast or slow, that's worth knowing before taking an early-game over, under or lead bet. Check the number, then check the price on the live odds board.
