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.

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?

[MJAlltheWay24]

If you would have asked me to guess who #1 , I'm not sure I would have guessed Gonzaga, but it certainly makes sense.

50 years...it was cleverly hidden right next to their winning percentage. :bunny:

And no North Carolina?

 

83.9% at the Dean Dome.

83.9% at the Dean Dome.

 

It was something like 98.3 percent at Carmichael.

It was something like 98.3 percent at Carmichael.

89.4% -- still very impressive. They played there 20 seasons.

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!

[JDEaston]

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.

If they were in the SEC and not the ACC they'd be at 89.4%.

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.

Doubtful. Coach k hasn't been there long enough to turn their prior numbers around.
