The NBA uses the +/- stat in their box scores now. It basically shows how the team performs when a given player is on the court. It isn't something that is widely tracked at the college level. I decided to track it for each game so far.

Game #1 Mt. St. Mary's W 69-59
Wright +9
Dixon +11
Thomas E
Gates +8
Bishop +1
Kilpatrick +10
Jackson +9
Davis -2
Wilks +1
Parker +5
McClain -2

Game #2 IPFW W 65-59
Wright +4
Dixon +3
Thomas -1
Gates +8
Bishop +1
Kilpatrick +4
Jackson +4
Davis +3
Wilks +3
Parker E
McClain +1

Game #3 Florida A&M W 76-51
Wright +27
Dixon +21
Thomas +14
Gates +21
Bishop +14
Kilpatrick +17
Jackson +5
Davis -2
Wilks +10
Parker -2
McClain E

Game #4 Savannah St. W 54-41
Wright +15
Dixon +13
Thomas +12
Gates +19
Bishop +4
Kilpatrick -5
Jackson -2
Davis +2
Wilks +6
Parker +7
McClain -4

Game #5 Dayton W 68-34
Wright +31
Dixon +38
Thomas +28
Gates +19
Bishop +37
Kilpatrick -5
Jackson +14
Davis -5
Wilks +11
Parker +5
McClain -3
Tyree -2
McBride +2
Eppensteiner +2

Game #6 Wright St. W 77-69
Wright -1
Dixon -4
Thomas +3
Gates +1
Bishop -2
Kilpatrick +16
Jackson -1
Davis +24
Wilks +13
Parker +6
McClain E
**Gametracker was messing on up some substitutions very late in the second half. Tried my best.

Game #7 Toledo W 81-47
Gametracker didn't show the substitutions so it was virtually impossible to see who was on the court and when they subbed in.

Season 6 Games (minus Toledo)
Wright +85
Dixon +82
Thomas +56
Gates +76
Bishop +55
Kilpatrick +39
Jackson +29
Davis +20
Wilks +44
Parker +21
McClain -8
Tyree -2
McBride +2
Eppensteiner +2

Very interesting. Thanks for posting.

Welcome to the Board

Thanks. I have been reading this board since 2005, thought I would start to offer up something to the discussion. Wilks may not look the most coordinated at times, but he brings athleticism to the floor which helps on defense. He also can pass in high post. If he gets rid of his questionable passes. Mick calls them "Darnell Wilks Specials". He could be a solid role player the rest of the way.

Always like stuff like this. Of course who you play with is going to strongly affect these numbers. Last year there was a site that posted adjusted plus/minus numbers about half way through the year. Hopefully they do it again.

I saw some sites like that, but they weren't updated. I hope they do it over time. I was surprised to see Larry Davis +24 against Wright St. He played 20 minutes and was on the floor during the 2 big runs, so that helps.

Thank you Abe. Can you explain how the ranking is calculated?

It's as simple as it looks. It is the +/- scoring margin for the bearcats while that player is on the floor.

I was really glad to see the contributions of Eppensteiner and McBride against UD and Toledo. I knew they'd be "+".

I'm not. That was the best game of his career, even with only getting 3 points. His on the ball defense really flustered the Wright St. PG. He played a huge part in that win.
