In response to SomeGuy
I didn't really know how shooting background would impact a shooter, but I did immediately airball a few shots the first times I shot in an NBA arena.
Interesting question as to what really creates home court advantage. I’m not sure how much of it actually derives from the crowd. Only two games, but Penn and Cornell both beat the spread (which seemed to have normal homecourt built in). Penn seems more comfortable at home regardless of crowd. And Princeton in particular strikes me as a tough place to play if you aren’t used to it, just in terms of shooting background, etc.
