Big South 2023

The 2022/2023 Big South basketball season was a good one for UNCA’s Men’s team. They won the regular season at 16-2 and then won the Big South tournament. Here are a couple of visualizations of that Season.

A chord diagram

Here’s a chord diagram at of the end of the regular season. The beginning and ending width of a ribbon connecting team A and team B form a measure of how well team A performed against team B, as described below. The color of a ribbon is determined by the stronger team. The total width of an arc for a team is a measure of how well the school did in the conference.

You can hover over one of those ribbons or a team logo to get a bit more information about the games played between the teams. You could find, for example, that UNC Asheville leads the conference at 16-2. All the arcs emanating from UNC Asheville are blue, since they’ve scored at least as many points as all of their opponents.
