Okay, so, I’ve been messing around with some basketball stats lately, specifically from the USC Trojans vs. ASU Sun Devils game. It’s always fun to dig into these numbers and see what’s what, right?
First off, I grabbed the game data. There was a game between the USC men’s basketball team and Arizona State University’s team. I was curious about how each player did, so I started gathering all the stats I could find. This involved checking out a bunch of different sources that had info on this game.
Getting the Data
I started by looking up the game details. I wanted to see when it was played and who were the top scorers. This was pretty straightforward—a few quick searches and I had the basics down. Then, I dove into the box scores. These are like the holy grail for stats nerds. They tell you everything—points, rebounds, assists, you name it.
The first one I found was for a game on March 9, 2023. It had all the usual stuff, but I wanted more. So I kept digging and found another one from January 24, 2022. More data, yay! But it wasn’t just about collecting these sheets. I needed to make sense of them.
Figuring Out the Numbers
Once I had the box scores, I started to analyze the data. I looked at each player’s performance, noting down who scored the most points, who got the most rebounds, and other interesting bits. For example, in the March 9 game, Boogie Ellis scored a whopping 28 points for USC. That’s pretty impressive! Also there was a play at 19:48 where someone made a 3-pointer. Good stuff.
I also looked at the team totals to see how USC and ASU compared overall. Which team had more turnovers? Who had better shooting percentages? These things can tell you a lot about how the game went down.
Putting It All Together
After going through all the numbers, I put together a summary of the key stats. Here’s a little snippet of what I found:
- Top Scorer: Boogie Ellis (USC) – 28 points
- Date of Game: March 9, 2023
- Result: USC defeated Arizona State 68-65
I also looked at stats from other games to get a bigger picture. It’s always interesting to see how players perform over time, not just in one game. And, it turned out that the information I found was pretty comprehensive. It had everything from basic player stats to detailed game summaries.
So yeah, that’s basically what I did. It was a fun little project, and I learned a lot about the USC Trojans and ASU Sun Devils. Plus, it’s always cool to see how much you can find out just by digging into some numbers. Hope you guys found this interesting! Maybe next time I’ll dive into some other teams or sports. Who knows!
