Site Update: Historical College Basketball Player Stats

October 19, 2011 - by David Hess

In our Monday update post about new college basketball stats and other assorted goodies, we mentioned that we’d be adding player stats for the past few seasons.

Well, our Compy 386 is finished running the numbers, and the stats from the last five years are now available for your perusal.

Our NCAA basketball player stat rankings now go back to the 2006-2007 season. Check out blocks per foul, for example. Make sure you check out the various splits that are available, like performance against Top 50 teams, or in away/neutral games. (Though unfortunately the ‘Last 2 Weeks’ and ‘Last 4 Weeks’ filters will only work once the season starts.)

Also, player pages now have career stats which should go back far enough to cover the full careers of all current players. Here’s preseason All-American Jordan Taylor modeling our new page. [Side Note: That is some seriously impressive improvement in all his shooting percentages from freshman to junior years. Dude must have lived at the practice court.]

So, dive in, unearth some nuggets of wisdom, and pass them on.
