Built a college basketball analytics tool to break down Miami's pre/postgame stats

blueprntanalytics.com

Every so often we hear during a tv broadcast "what do the analytics say to do in this situation?" or "the analytics guys are ruining the game". I'm personally a guy who likes to spend ~20-30min every night before bed on the ESPN app browsing through box scores to see who played well, who didn't play well, who had a good +/-, etc. The question I always ask myself however is, does viewing data have to be so boring? Or, how can we view advanced analytics in a way that's quickly digestible?

Often times in my profession working with the federal government the common theme is someone needs to have a PhD in Data Science or higher education to be a reputable source OR have the ability to analyze complex datasets. I built Blueprint to break down that barrier to entry. The basketball analytics tools out right now have random tables with flashes of green & red but it's never clear what that actually means.

Throughout the 2026-2027 season my app will update each morning with fresh stats for each team that played the previous day. It includes advanced analytics for each D1 team in the nation. It also includes a game predictor called 'Prediction Engine'.

Would love to hear folks thoughts and ideas on how I can make the application better leading up to the season.

Expectations Against Wake Forest Tomorrow

We have our highly anticipated exhibition match against Wake Forest tomorrow afternoon. What are you hoping to see from our team?

I personally want to see flashes of a competent & consistent offense. Offensive output was the reason we lost a lot of games last year. We never truly had a GO-TO “hey go get us a bucket” guy last season. Curious to see who is able to take on that role for us this season.

Big Man Depth (2026-2027 Season)

I'm sure most of you have seen Pharrel Payne from UMD received a medical redshirt and will play next season. On the topic of big men on our current roster, who do you think can guard Payne for a solid 25-30 mins on Saturday, Nov 7 (I hope it's a night game btw -- none of that 12PM/Noon BS)?

The UMD game last season is where the presence of Vince was felt immediately when he touched the floor. I'm worried if Chol is playing the 5 against Payne he'll be forced into fouling due to lack of strength against a mature Pharrel Payne.

At this point I assume Cooley and staff are done adding depth to the PG & SG positions (it's still pretty early so I guess we'll see). We've added Jaland Lowe (Kentucky) + Elmarko Jackson (Kansas) + Gabriel (Brazil). Given the unknown of what Gabriel can provide, I'm curious to see if Cooley will need to defer to Mulready as a 6th man. I wonder what it would look like if Mulready enters the game with zero restrictions. We know Mulready can shoot the 3-ball, but he's also an impressive finisher at the rim. I wouldn't be upset if he comes into the game and becomes the focal point of our offense. In his interview with MTC Media after our loss against UConn in the BET, he seemed extremely motivated to get in the lab (the gym) and improve all facets of his game. A young man that can take an L and immediately have the attitude of "ok, I just fell but let me get right back up" is what we need. The guy stays ready for his number to get called (we saw that with the Mack vouching for him situation). We should all be confident that he'll be a reliable source of offense for us next season.
