Welcome to Hoop Explorer!

Created in 2019, Hoop Explorer is a free and open college basketball analytics platform. Explore the game through interactive stats and visualizations you can't find elsewhere.

Used by college teams, NBA teams, Draft Twitter, sports bettors, analytics gurus, basketball journalists and bloggers, and fans like me who enjoy digging into stats when there are no games to watch.
