Notre Dame game site[edit]

Since I've seen the text bounce back and forth a couple of ways, I went to the NCAA website to see how they have it listed. The preview of the Iowa-California game lists the site as "Purcell Pavilion at the Joyce Center, South Bend, Indiana", though the scoreboard page says "Notre Dame, Ind." Our article on the Edmund P. Joyce Center says it's in Notre Dame, Indiana, so I strongly feel that's how the city should be listed. Should we keep the venue as just Joyce Center, or add Purcell Pavilion to the listing? —C.Fred (talk) 12:31, 18 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]

I haven't looked all that closely, but I think your position is fine.--SPhilbrick (Talk) 14:02, 18 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]

If the arena's actual location is Notre Dame, rather than South Bend, plus the NCAA lists the game site as Notre Dame, those are both good reasons for this article to list the game site as Notre Dame. As to the question of whether to call the venue Joyce Center or Purcell Pavilion at Joyce Center, I have no opinion as either would be accurate. --LarryJeff (talk) 15:13, 19 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Record by conference[edit]

On 13 March 2014, an IP editor 50.103.213.35 added results by conference. Constructive edits by IP addresses are always welcome. I am making a replacement to the table for two reasons:

one entry was in error. The ACC record was stated as 8–4, when in fact it was 9–4. (Duke won 3 games, Georgia Tech won 2, Maryland won 3, and Miami won 1).
Convention, as illustrated by related articles for different years, is that the table includes conferences with more than one entrant over with at least one win. Conferences with exactly one entrant who did not win are simply listed below the table. While both approaches convey the same information, it is desirable to have consistency between articles and given that almost all other articles use the different convention, it's easier to change this to the standard convention.

The tables are sortable so conceptually there is no particular need to sort the table in any particular way initially, but many years use the default sort order as the winning percentage for the conference, so my replacement table will reflect that usage. In addition, I will provide a source for the data used to create the table.--S Philbrick (Talk) 16:05, 1 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]
