Sports Analytics Group at Penn (PSAG) aims to foster a community of students passionate about sports analytics. We are a student group at the University of Pennsylvania currently focused most heavily on basketball but also perform analysis for baseball and football, and we are also looking into expanding towards Lacrosse and Strength & Conditioning. Our purpose is to give the teams a competitive advantage by providing the coaching staff with a statistical analysis of practices, their own teams, and/or their opponents.
The coaching staff identifies areas on the basketball court they want to improve. Working with the coaches’ input, this group determines methods to quantify these areas. The group works throughout the week to present the data in a dashboard or presentation that is easy for the coaches to understand. With this data, the group intends to use a multifaceted approach to better inform the coaches by building predictive models and tracking improvement throughout the season.
