Kentucky is 48% from three on the road and 27 % at home. How is that even possible?? I think it bodes well in the tournament.

Kentucky is 48% from three on the road and 27 % at home. How is that even possible?? I think it bodes well in the tournament.
I can't even think of what it could be. It has to be an anomaly, though. You flip a coin ten times, you could get heads 8 or 9 times.. but you flip it 100 and it's going to even out.
18 SEC games, not enough of a sample size. I bet these numbers would even out after another 18 games.
..or this team really does get up for the road games, who knows.

Wow that’s just stunning. Should bode well playing games away from Rupp. Though it didn’t help the Cats in Vegas.
Seeing these numbers gives me hope considering NONE of the rest of our games are in Rupp Arena.[jumpingsmile]
The sample size is too big for this not to mean something. Very odd. Maybe we should practice at RUPP every now and then. Maybe.
But we don't practice at these road arenas either. We shoot around just like we do at Rupp. Very weird. I just think the players are more focused for road games.
Rupp is much larger than these other places so depth perception is much different
Do we think that since they practice in the Craft center and play games in Rupp that has everything to do with the discrepancy in 3 point shooting %?
they play at rupp more than any road game. You would think they would be used to it by now.
I think these guys enjoy the hate they get from the competition.
Quickley has shot 100 threes, and about same amoutn at home and at away. He has 20+% diferential...that's weird as hell.
I think this discrepancy is 100% due to focus. At home they are kicking it with their buds before and after games and are too relaxed. But on the road it's just basketball and business, and they are just a team that needs that edge and focus. It's the same reason they can't hold a lead after a certain amount of points. They pull ahead when they are focused and a little nervous. But the minute they have a big enough lead to feel comfortable, they relax and take plays off, and bang...a lead is squandered.
One piece of very good news: In our first 11 games we shot 28% as a team. In our last 20 games, we've shot 38%.

Too small of a sample size. Plus those neutral court games were all in 2019. Kentucky was just a shell of it’s current self back then.
I dint know what other teams percentage of made threes against us is this year. All I know is we would shoot better if we practiced in Rupp.
I think that might be 30-40% . I think another 20-30 % is that they don't practice in Rupp and so they only see those rims maybe what 15-20 times a year and while that bothers some teams more then others it bothered ours. and I think the last 20-30% is a simple self fulfilling prophecy in which we didn't shoot well the first 4-5 times and we started to know we would make them on the road and miss them at home and thus did.
Truthfully though we still only lost 2 times at home so it wasn't THAT much of an issue . And we don't play again at Rupp so it is beyond the point of mattering now.
