❓ Frequently Asked Questions
What are the most commonly used statistics in college basketball?
Core stats include points, rebounds, assists, steals, blocks, turnovers, and shooting percentages (field goal, three-point, and free throw).
How is points per game (PPG) calculated?
PPG = total points scored ÷ number of games played.
What is field goal percentage (FG%) and three-point percentage (3P%)?
FG% = made field goals ÷ attempted field goals; 3P% = made three-pointers ÷ attempted three-pointers.

Rebounds indicate how many missed shots were recovered. Offensive rebounds are secured by the shooting team; defensive rebounds end the opponent's possession. Total rebounds = offensive + defensive.
