College Basketball grid questions

What conditions show up on the college basketball grid?

Schools, and the numbers a college career runs up: points, rebounds, assists, steals, blocks, three-pointers, field goals and free throws, each at a round career threshold — plus position, era and the honours: the Wooden Award, the Naismith, AP Player of the Year and Consensus All-American selection.

Does a career total count every school?

Yes. A total such as fifteen hundred points is the whole recorded college career, at every school a player played for, not only the one the square crosses.

Which schools come up?

The ones with enough recorded players to fill a square with different answers. Duke, North Carolina, Kansas and Kentucky come round often, and so do smaller programs.

Which basketball players turn up on the college basketball grid?

Everyone in the recorded college pool — far more names than the NBA board has, because most college careers ended at college. That depth is what lets a school square cross a career total and still have answers.

Why are there so many career totals?

Because college basketball keeps eight of them and a college career is short enough for a round number to mean something: points, rebounds, assists, steals, blocks, three-pointers, field goals and free throws. Each is the whole recorded college career, never a single season.

What else can a square ask for?

The position played and the decade played in, plus a career of five or more seasons. There is no draft condition and no professional award: everything here happened before a player left college.

Which leagues besides college basketball have a grid?

Nine more: the AFL, college football, cricket, the WNBA, the NFL, soccer, the NBA, the NHL and MLB. More college basketball games: College Basketball Connections, Build a College Basketball Player and CBB Career Simulator.
