Methodology

Every number on this site links back here: where it comes from, how it's checked, and how it's calculated.

Metrics

True shooting % (TS%): scoring efficiency, counting threes and free throws properly.
Coming with box-score data: effective FG%, usage rate, assist/turnover ratio and assist rate, offensive and defensive rebound %, pace, and offensive, defensive and net rating.

Source: balldontlie (licensed; not official league data). Refreshed daily; last pulled Oct 30, 2026.
Order: conference win percentage, then overall win percentage, then total wins. Conferences break real ties with their own rules, so official seeding can differ.
Before the season starts, pages show last season's final standings and say so.
Checks before publishing: no negative or missing records; win % must match wins and losses; a conference record can't exceed the overall record; no team listed twice; and across each conference, conference wins must equal conference losses. If any check fails, the site keeps its last good version.
Home/away splits that don't add up to the overall record are withheld, with a note on the team page, rather than published.
A blank zero in the source (a team with no wins listed as blank) is filled in only when the source's win % confirms it.
Teams: Division I teams, the ones in a listed conference. Lower-division schools appear in the source only as opponents.
