I have compiled some Duke and Opponent Home vs. Away/Neutral court stats and although I knew there would be a descrepancy, it seems bigger than I had anticipated. Duke is scoring 17 more points a game, shooting 6 percentage points higher from the field and 9 percentage points higher from 3 point range. I know the team is young and Cameron is a great advantage, but is there something about this team that accentuates this differential (or is this normal for a Duke team ... I did not try to go back in history to look at the last few years of home vs. away stats). I know some of the opponents are weaker at home could be one reason, of course. Anyone have any historical data to say if this is about normal for a Duke team? Or other insights?
