hoopR 
hoopR is an R package for
working with men’s basketball data.
The package has functions to access live play by play and box score data from ESPN with shot locations when available.
It is additionally a scraping and aggregating interface for Ken Pomeroy’s men’s college basketball statistics website, kenpom.com. It provides users with an active subscription the capability to scrape the website tables and analyze the data for themselves.
