The UPS® Team Performance Index for basketball is a proprietary data index that measures offensive and defensive efficiency for all 345 NCAA Division I men's and 340 NCAA Division I women's basketball teams.

It is designed to identify well-balanced teams that do multiple things well, similar to how UPS excels in logistics.

The Team Performance Index includes six key statistical components that are combined in a manner that rewards teams for performing efficiently and effectively in all categories to create the Index, ranking them from highest to lowest.

The statistical components of the UPS Team Performance Index for basketball are as follows:

• Offensive Measure - Effective Field Goal Percentage
• Defensive Measure - Effecstive Field Goal Percentage Against
• Rebounding - Rebounding percentage amongst all rebounds in a game (If there are 100 rebounds in a game, and your team grabs 60, your rebounding percentage is 60 %.)
• Ball Handling - Assists/game, steals/game, opponent assists/game, opponent steals/game
• Overall Miscues Measure - "Non-steal" turnovers/game, fouls/game, opponent non-steal turnovers/game, opponent fouls per game
