August 4, 201511 yr ... Saw this and thought it was interesting. These are the top 10 winning percentages for programs in their current home gym. Any surprises: 1. Gonzaga -- McCarthey Athletic Center (11 years) -- 93% 2. Kentucky -- Rupp Arena (39 years) -- 89.3% 3. Wisconsin -- Kohl Center (18 years) -- 87.9% 4. Memphis -- FedEx Forum (11 years) -- 87.5% 5. Xavier -- Cintas Center (15 years) -- 87.0% 6. Pittsburgh -- Petersen Events Center (13 years) -- 86.9% 7. Kansas -- Allen Fieldhouse (60 years) -- 86.85% 8. Oregon -- Knight Arena (4 years) -- 86.84% 9. Michigan State -- Breslin Center (26 years) -- 86.5% 10. UCLA -- Pauley Pavilion (50 years) -- 86.49%
August 4, 201511 yr Shocked Cameron wasn't on there...but they have been there a long time, so I guess that hurts them.
August 4, 201511 yr Author Shocked Cameron wasn't on there...but they have been there a long time, so I guess that hurts them. They are at 84.4% at home since moving to Cameron.
August 4, 201511 yr Pittsburgh, Oregon, & UCLA jump out to me. How long as UCLA been in Pauley? I wouldn't have guessed Xavier to be that high, but I would have had them in the Top 10. I would also have thought Kansas was #1 . And no North Carolina?
August 4, 201511 yr If you would have asked me to guess who #1 , I'm not sure I would have guessed Gonzaga, but it certainly makes sense.
August 4, 201511 yr Author Pittsburgh, Oregon, & UCLA jump out to me. How long as UCLA been in Pauley? 50 years...it was cleverly hidden right next to their winning percentage. :bunny:
August 4, 201511 yr Author It was something like 98.3 percent at Carmichael. 89.4% -- still very impressive. They played there 20 seasons.
August 5, 201511 yr Oregon is a little surprising but they typically are an NCAA tournament team. Their gym is fairly new and the paint job probably kills opponents!
August 5, 201511 yr Nothing surprising stands out to me really. The larger the sample the more accurate the numbers will be. The majority of the top 10 in this list has only been in their arena for less than 20 years. That's a much smaller sample size than the traditional powerhouses that have been in their facilities for 40+ years.

UCLA -- Pauley Pavilion (50 years) -- 86.49% No surprises at all when you look at the competition that these teams routinely face. Take away UCLA's decade of dominance and they may not even be top 20.
August 5, 201511 yr If they were in the SEC and not the ACC they'd be at 89.4%. Doubtful. Coach k hasn't been there long enough to turn their prior numbers around.
