Title: Composite schedule for NCAA basketball?
Post by: jtwcornell91 on September 26, 2010, 06:37:36 AM
Does anyone know where there's a parsable composite schedule with results for college basketball, along the lines of http://www.collegehockeynews.com/schedules/composite.php for hockey, http://www.laxpower.com/update10/binmen/sched01.php for lacrosse, and http://prwolfe.bol.ucla.edu/cfootball/scores.htm for football?  I'm not so familiar with basketball geek sites.

Thanks!

there are a lot of good stats on bbstate.com which is run by the midmajority.com guy, he might know where to get that kind of a composite schedule since bbstate.com has composite schedules for each conference. However I think he charges $20 a year for unlimited access to the site, you can view a few pages for free before it starts prompting you to pay

I also saw this http://www.cbssports.com/collegebasketball/schedules/conference/BIGE
they have all the schedules by conference, it would be a somewhat annoying but not impossible parsing program to write the first time if you trying to do some statistics or something

Did you ever find a parseable full schedule? I decided to write a python script to parse through those schedules on http://www.cbssports.com/collegebasketball/schedules

I attached the script and the file, just install Python 2.6.5 and run the script, it will produce schedule.txt in the same directory
I named the file schedulescript.txt since the forum wont let me upload .py files

Since right now there are no results I dont know how it will work with the results, probably need to switch the scores around because only home games for the current team are added and the home teams are listed second. document.write(timeFormat is just the javascript fn cbs uses to produce the times, I didnt feel like rewriting this in python

script takes about 2min to produce schedule.txt in the same directory it is running in

edit: updated script to replace & and ´ in team names for & and ', delimit by ;

2010-11 NCAA Division I basketball composite schedule (http://kenpom.com/cbbga11.txt)

This is the source data for my Bradley-Terry ratings. I PM'd this link to JTW soon after this thread started, but I wanted to throw it out there for everyone now that I know the link is good (confirmed with the season having started last night).
