LOS ANGELES--(BUSINESS WIRE via COLLEGIATE PRESSWIRE)--Mar 14, 2001--PriceGrabber (www.pricegrabber.com), e-commerce`s most inventive shopping comparison site, today announced its latest comparison-shopping channel -- Comparison Shopping for the NCAA Championship.
``Comparison shopping online has become the way people shop,`` said Tamim Mourad, CEO of PriceGrabber. ``There is so much information available that people are accustomed to comparing products and services side-by-side. The NCAA March Madness Shopping Channel lets fans compare the 64 NCAA teams in ways they can`t do anywhere else.``
The March Madness Shopping Channel is an extraordinarily comprehensive collection of information about the NCAA championship teams. Teams can be selected for comparison based on conference or region, and can be sorted by any of 16 team statistics, including seed, AP ranking, Ratings Percentage Index (RPI) and field goal percentage.
Once selected, the teams can be compared side-by-side, with the leaders in each statistic clearly identified. Visitors to the site can also view and compare teams by bracket, and will be able to track the progress of their favorite teams as the tournament progresses.
``This channel is a perfect example of PriceGrabber`s strength in comparison shopping,`` said Michael Dean, PriceGrabber`s vice president for Business Development and an avid NCAA basketball fan.
``There are many sites that have some of the data we`re providing, just like many sites have some of the data we provide for computers, electronics and our other six product channels. But no one has all of this information organized in such a usable way. This is the most comprehensive March Madness comparative information available anywhere on the Web.``
In addition to statistical comparisons, the March Madness Shopping Channel also includes informative data about each participating team, including the team`s next opponent and links to each school`s Web site.
