BB+Project

Basketball Project Your mission: To follow a college basketball team throughout the 2007-2008 season. You will be given a folder with your team schedule to keep track of wins/losses and points scored. You will learn how to average and chart points per game and track how many miles your team travels in the season. After gathering all necessary data, you will make bar graphs showing the results. You will be tracking miles traveled to away games on the bulletin board in the hall. Information you need to find:  1. City and State your team is located.  2. The other cities/states of the teams being played  3. Miles traveled to away games  4. A synopsis of the college: Number of students attending, programs known for, mascot, year the college was founded. Helpful information and websites:  1. The sports page of the newspaper. We will be learning how to find scores in class.  2. ESPN on TV  3. http://www.ncaasports.com/basketball/mens/scoreboard 4. http://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/basketball/ncaa/ 5. http://sports-ak.espn.go.com/ncb/index 6. http://sportsline.com/collegebasketball 7. http://www.50states.com/college/ 8. http://web.mit.edu/cdemello/www/univ.html 9. http://maps.google.com/

We will be working on this in class as much as possible. I will update any websites I find as we are working on this project. It is your responsibility to remember to look up scores and to track wins and losses as the games are played. You are not required to watch any games, however, after tracking a team some people get excited about how well their team is doing!!It is your responsibility to remember to look up scores and to track wins and losses as the games are played. Have fun!!
