Home Court Advantage

[wjbmd]

Question: With two evenly rated/talented teams, how much do you think the home court advantage is in terms of points ?

6 points home vs away

Might mean more depending how crazy the crowd is

It's hard to say...6 points give or take a point or so is probably close. I think there are a few variables involved. As stated above, the crowd enthusiasm, the refs (some refs are more 'home' refs than others), Teams with a reputation for good defense (like UVA, etc.) probably will get more leeway when it comes to getting fouls called (of course that's just a different variation on 'refs').

I'm hoping 23 points for Monday.
