21st November 2024

That's right! Just one week after launching the College Player Game Finder, we're back with another new college football tool. Say hello to the College Team Game Finder!

  1. What team had the most passing TDs in a bowl game?
  2. What was the heaviest loss by a team that won the National Championship?
  3. What team had the most games in a season with 50+ pass attempts?
  4. What year had the most bowl games decided by double-digits?

Full Box Scores and Statistics Added for 1984 Men’s Olympic Basketball

4th November 2024

Thanks to the research of Todd Spehr, we have recently enhanced and expanded our statistical coverage of the 1984 Men's Olympic Basketball competition. Our box scores, and therefore our cumulative stats for the competition, now have all of the categories recorded at the time accounted for. These games, in Los Angeles, represented the Olympic debut of a young Michael Jordan months before his NBA debut. The Gold Medal-winning U.S. team also featured Hall of Famers Chris Mullin and Patrick Ewing. They were the last all-college team to win Olympic Gold. We hope you enjoy this addition.
