Coverage of Games vs Non-Major Opponents Extended Back to 1992-93 on Sports Reference College Basketball

21st October 2024

The school schedules for men's basketball teams have recently been updated to include games vs. non-major opponents back through the 1992-93 season on College Basketball Reference. Previously, the schedules were only complete with all non-major opponents back until 1994-95. This means that the La Salle fan writing this can now look back and (not) laugh when reviewing the Explorers' 1992-93 season schedule, which opened with a narrow victory over Hall of Famer Herb Magee's Division II Philadelphia Textile Rams (now known as Jefferson University). Or perhaps you'd prefer to see a vintage Georgetown/St. Leo result. Either way, we've now got it! We'd like to thank Kevin Johnson for providing us with this improved information. Please keep your eyes peeled for further enhancements on this front in the future.

NCAA Tournament Round Name Changes Over Time

13th March 2024

Our new Stathead Basketball tools for searching our college basketball database feature ways to search for NCAA Tournament games. Due to major changes in the format and round nomenclature over the years, it is tricky to search for exactly what you're looking for using strictly round names. And so we have added some search groupings that will hopefully make all of this a bit more clear. Read the rest of this entry

Major Improvements to Men’s College Basketball Leaderboards

31st October 2023

Thanks to some recent data expansions, we have vastly improved the coverage of seasons on our men's college basketball leaderboards on the Sports Reference College Basketball site. This will make the most comprehensive online archive of college basketball statistics even more robust. One thing to note is that in some cases this allows for our leaderboards to be even more comprehensive than what is included in the NCAA Record Book. This is because many schools tracked statistics such as blocks, steals and assists long before they became 'official' NCAA categories. Below is a breakdown of some of these changes.

Minor Fix Applied to Our CBB Box Scores

20th February 2023

An eagle-eyed user recently noticed that the True Shooting Percentage calculation we were using in our college basketball box scores seemed to differ slightly from the method we spell out in our glossary. It turns out we were mistakenly using the FT constant we use for the pro game (.44) in our college box scores, rather than the .475 that we spell out in our glossary and that we use to calculate season and career-level data for players.
