ABOUT BASKETBOSS

THE ANALYTICS PLATFORM BUILT FOR COLLEGE BASKETBALL.

BasketBoss.ai is a Division I college basketball analytics platform that gives fans, analysts, and program supporters the tools to understand what's really happening — and what's about to happen — in the sport they love.

We built BasketBoss because we believed the data that coaches and front offices use to make decisions should be accessible to everyone. Projected scoring margins, NIL budgets, transfer portal impact, lineup optimization — this is the intelligence that shapes programs, and it belongs in the hands of fans.

OUR MISSION

DECIDE. JOIN. WIN.

Our mission is to make college basketball analytics accessible, actionable, and honest. We don't publish rankings based on reputation or media narratives. We publish projected scoring margins, modeled from returning starters, transfer portal additions, recruiting rankings, and schedule strength — and we show our work.

BasketBoss is built for the fan who wants to understand why their team is projected where they are, what portal moves would actually move the needle, and how their program stacks up against the competition — not just in the polls, but in the numbers that predict outcomes.

WHAT WE DO

SIX TOOLS. ONE PLATFORM.

PROJECTED SCORES

We model offensive and defensive points per game for every D1 program — not wins, not polls, not gut feelings. Scoring margin is the most predictive metric in college basketball, and we put it front and center.

NIL INTELLIGENCE

NIL has changed college basketball permanently. We track collective budgets, estimate player values, and model how NIL investment translates to on-court performance — giving fans and analysts the context they need.

TRANSFER PORTAL

The portal is the new recruiting. We track every significant transfer, model the score impact of each move, and surface the portal additions that will actually change a program's trajectory.

LINEUP MODELING

Our lineup builder lets you substitute players at any of the five positions and see the projected score impact in real time. Build your ideal portal roster and see exactly what it would cost and what it would gain.

MATCHUP SIMULATOR

Pick any two D1 programs and simulate the matchup. See the projected score, position-by-position advantages, and AI-powered lineup recommendations to flip losing positions.

GEO-PERSONALIZED

BasketBoss detects your nearest D1 program automatically and loads your team's data — and your rival's matchup — the moment you arrive. No account required to get a personalized experience.

METHODOLOGY

HOW WE BUILD OUR PROJECTIONS

BasketBoss scoring margin projections are built from four primary inputs: returning starter efficiency ratings, transfer portal additions (weighted by their performance at their previous program), recruiting class rankings (adjusted for position need), and schedule strength (based on projected opponent quality).

NIL estimates are derived from publicly available collective information, reported deal values, and BasketBoss modeling of program revenue and fan base size. All projections are labeled as estimates and are updated as roster information changes throughout the offseason.
