Build a wide, one-row-per-game crosswalk linking ESPN and Bart Torvik
(barttorvik.com) game identifiers for an MBB season. Fox Sports and Yahoo
game IDs are NA placeholders. KenPom game IDs are optionally enriched when
include_kenpom = TRUE and credentials are set (see below). Dates are
reduced to Eastern-Time game dates before joining; Torvik team1/team2
are unordered (the join uses a sorted team-pair key, so home/away from the
Torvik side is not preserved). Games where either Torvik team name cannot be
resolved to an ESPN id via mbb_team_crosswalk() are kept as bart_only
rows.
KenPom (optional): KenPom requires a paid subscription. Set the
environment variables KP_USER (email) and KP_PW (password) and pass
include_kenpom = TRUE. When include_kenpom = FALSE (the default) or
when credentials are absent, kp_game_id is left as NA and no network
calls to KenPom are made. Errors from individual team schedule calls are
silently dropped so the function always returns a complete crosswalk even
when partial KenPom data is unavailable.
Usage
mbb_schedule_crosswalk(
season = most_recent_mbb_season(),
include_kenpom = FALSE
