Advanced NCAA player stat recommendations?

[Svoboda]

I'm building a historical database for my alma mater and I'm looking to add some advanced stats. Was wondering what your recommendations would be for those that I use? I basically have access to individual and team season statistics so they would need to be centered around that particular dataset. Below is an example of what I've got thus far: basically eFG, TS%, A/TO and per40 stats.

Also, I'm new to these advanced statistics and had a question about team minutes used in some of the calculations, specially is it the general total or is the total minus the player's minutes? For example, say Jake Odum plays 1000 minutes in a season and the Sycamores played 30 games. That would be 30*200 or 6000 total minutes. Do I use the 6000 for team minutes or would I subtract Odum's 1000 and use 5000?

Use the advanced boxscore stats that you'd need so that you can calculate ASPM, if you can get them all. So thats TRB%, BLK%, STL%, USG%, TS%, TO%, AST%.

I total all the individual player minutes - and make sure the total is at least very close to what it should be (if not, I compare to other sources and fix thr probs). Example, team plays 30 games with 3 OTS & another double OT. 30*200+3*25+50=6125 should be the total team minutes - player minutes total better come within, say, minutes of that. Almost every team will have at least one OT game.

As for team calculations - I believe what you see out there are usually team totals - not team minus player totals. One could do player & team minus player comparisons, this is part of what I do in my own playing time adjustments before my final Hoopsnerd rating for a player.

Ken Pomeroy, cbb-reference, and statsheet I believe will have the best compilation of "advanced" NCAA player stats (the rates, the %'s, etc).

BTW - was looking at what you are trying to do - cbb-reference does have snapshots of old team player stats - I think Indiana States goes back to 1972:

That might help your compiling your database.

As for your boy Jake Odum, he had been hovering late in my Top 25 nationally for a bit of the season (up to number 16th nationally in my post February 10th), being the 2nd best player in the MVC all season. My last update after 3-1-13 games he was 43rd nationally - here's the results sorted by conference, scroll down to the MVC:

I'll update again in a couple days, and possibly almost daily after that time permitting all through the national tourneys - if you'd like to see where your Indiana State kids end up. Sorry about your team's struggle after that huge Creighton win just over a month ago.

I'll also have historical rankings eventually back to I think 1998 - that'll happen over the course of the next 4 months or so - if you'd like to see where the past 15 years of Sycamores rank.
