College Basketball Analytics

This data set is data from the 2015 college basketball season. It outlines tons of statistics about every D1 NCAA basketball team. This particular dataset, as well, was compiled following the 2015 March Madness Tournament.

Question of Interest

How did Conference USA teams fare in the 2015 season? To tackle this question, I will use a scatter plot analyzing the TEAM column (with a filter on the back-end only outputting teams from CUSA) and the W column (representing how many games each team won during the season).

cbb %>% 
  filter(CONF == "CUSA") %>%
  select(TEAM, W) %>% 
  ggplot(aes(x = TEAM, y = W)) +
  geom_point()

It looks like Old Dominion fared the best from CUSA!
