Will you all please help assemble a collection of sites that provide stats that are interesting/useful? It would be most helpful if when you list a site, give its name, URL and what it's significance is or what it uniquely excels at.

I think this would be a useful reference for all the members of the site as the season matures.

For example:

NCAA RPI ↗

http://www.ncaa.com/rankings/basketball-men/d1/ncaa-mens-basketball-rpi ↗

RPI, is a quantity used to rank sports teams based upon a team's wins and losses and its strength of schedule and is used by the selection committee to seed the NCAA Tournament Brackets.

Pomeroy College Basketball Ratings ↗

www.kenpom.com

Ken Pomeroy's tempo-based basketball statistics and data on non-numeric factors such as offensive and defensive style of play Is compared to Bill James' sabermetrics.

Hoop-Math play-by-play statistics ↗

http://hoop-math.com/index.php ↗

Hoop-Math presents college basketball statistics derived from play-by-play data. Want to know how often your favorite team or player gets a shot up at the rim, or scores in transition? Hoop-Math exists to answer these sorts of questions.

www.statsheet.com ↗

Numerous statistics for many sports. Excellent NCAA men's basketball resource. Provides information / comparisons for teams, players, coaches, conferences, etc.

Sports Reference Link ↗

Team Rankings Link ↗

www.sportsreference.com and www.teamrankings.com----I was trying to look up stats for conference rankings last week because I kept hearing that the Big10 was the best conference in the country, and I came across these 2 websites, which are both free. As of last Thursday, the Big 12 was 0 .1 point behind the Big 10.

Actually, the first one should have been sports-reference.com

I really enjoy following the box score during games. During the live chat several games ago, our favorite online sports editor provided a link to one he uses that is the best I've seen. It's called StatMonitr and is intended for use by members of the working media.

http://www.statbroadcast.com/events/statmonitr.php?gid=ku ↗ ↗

It's not meant to be shared with the public viewing audience, so I won't mention our favorite online sports editor by name (he has a new title now anyway). The link above is for KU events, and it's comprehensive and immediate, usually updating several seconds before I see the play on my TV.

One thing I miss when checking on a game not televised is box scores during the game on ESPN is half time minutes. When I see low scores or attempts for a player I check and normally see 2, maybe 3 fouls. I have no idea if the player played 5 minutes or 15, explaining low production or low minutes-just a suggestion to espn.

@JayhawkRock78 That's why I tried to find another site besides ESPN. I believe cbssports.com gives minutes played, but they have so many errors on other stats that I gave up on them. The site I linked above gives minutes played and updates it continuously, not just at half. There are several different tabs you can view, which makes it seem a bit complex at first, but I got used to it pretty fast and now am a huge fan.

Thanks much Tundra. I will check it out!
