Hey all,
The analysis is admittedly a little late, but I ran through the 2007-2008 home games and calculated some basic numbers on how well opponents shot from the charity stripe in Cameron last year.
The biggest results:
- 13 of 16 teams shot worse in Cameron than their average on the season.
- 4 of 16 teams shot at least 10% worse in Cameron.
- On average, teams shot 6% worse in Cameron.
- Eastern Kentucky shot best here, going 7-8 (87.5%), while shooting 71.9% on the season.
- Clemson shot worse at our house, going 10-23 (43.5%), while shooting 62.3% on the year, a difference of nearly 19%.
I posted the numbers for each game here (http://www.3stylelife.com/?p=434).
What I'd really like is access to a better statistical database (better than scrounging espn.com), even if it only had ACC data or something. Then I could put my math major to work and do some legitimate statistical analysis, with larger sample sizes. Any suggestions?
