Okay, so I’ve been messing around with some basketball data, specifically from the Yale vs. Auburn men’s game. It’s wild how much you can dig up from just one game. I was trying to see what I could find out about how the players did, you know, just for kicks.
First off, I started by grabbing the box score from the game on March 22, 2024. I saw that Yale actually pulled off an upset, winning 78-76. That’s a pretty tight game! Yale’s record was 23-9, and Auburn was at 27-8. It looked like a big deal since it was part of the whole March Madness thing.
Then, I went deeper into the player stats. I found out that this guy Poulakidas from Yale was a beast, scoring 28 points. There was also another player, Samson Aletan, who apparently made a crucial block at the end of the game. That must have been intense! It’s always cool to see how individual players can really impact the outcome.
- I searched for the game’s box score online.
- I looked up individual player stats, mainly focusing on points and key plays.
- I compared the overall team records and saw how this game fit into the bigger picture of their seasons.
What I Did:
I was also looking around for some tools to analyze basketball stats, and I stumbled upon something called Stathead. It seems like it has a bunch of historical data, which could be fun to play with. I haven’t really used it yet, but it sounds interesting. You can search through tons of old games, apparently.
This whole thing started because I was curious about the game. I didn’t really have a plan, but it turned into a mini-project. I love how you can find so much information just from one event. It makes you appreciate all the work that goes into these games, both on and off the court.
I guess that’s about it for my little basketball data adventure. It was a fun way to kill some time and learn a bit more about the game. I might try to do this again with other matches. There’s always something new to discover, right?
