Play Index

2023-10-25: Play Index Update.

We continue to work on moving all of the CBB Play Index content to Stathead.com/Basketball. This process has taken longer than expected, so we are allowing continued use of the these tools on CBB until the new tools are available.

We don't have a firm timeline for the launch of CBB on Stathead, but we fully intend to have it available well before the end of the 2023-24 season for both men's and women's basketball.

Because we will soon be taking down this page, we have not added coverage for women's stats to these tools. We apologize for this omission.

Receive an announcement when CBB on Stathead.com/Basketball has launched.

The "Play Index" (or PI) is the name we use to refer to Sports Reference's collection of top-notch research tools.
Read below for more information on the available applications.

As always, if you have any suggestions or corrections please fill out our feedback form.
