PlayByPlay Shot Locations fo NCAA games #28

Open jrbarber37 opened 1 year ago

jrbarber37 commented 1 year ago

Are there any plans to include shot locations to play-by-play data for NCAA games that could be used for shot charts based on game times and shot clock times?

Thanks!

If it does not exist in the data, it does not exist in the data from the data providers we are using (primarily espn). Basically no, to answer your question. If we stumble across open data sources with this data, we would be interested in doing it but generally not available in many cases.

Thanks for your reply. Hopefully, ESPN will provide this information soon.

Some of the higher priority games have shot location data. I would look specifically into games between Top 25 opponents. Again, not every game, but some of this data does exist
