I have put together a bunch of stats and will post ones I find interesting as the season goes on. Here are a couple on Home vs Away Point Per game scoring as well as one on Home Court Advantage for last year. Home court advantage is calculated on Home Win % - Away Win %.
Team Home PPG Away PPG Diff HCA factor (Home Winning Percent - Away Winning Percent) ARIZONA 79.9 73.7 6.2 31.304 ARIZONA ST 64.7 63.3 1.4 34.5029 CALIFORNIA 76 68.2 7.8 32.706 COLORADO 84.7 74 10.7 55.1136 OREGON 72.8 65.4 7.4 22.5274 OREGON ST 72.6 65.7 6.9 13.3928 STANFORD 68.9 63.7 5.2 28.5425 UCLA 70.7 69.3 1.4 40.1515 USC 66.3 66.2 0.1 34.2857 UTAH 71.3 63.1 8.2 22.6006 WASHINGTON 90.5 76.8 13.7 50 WASHINGTON ST 75.8 69.8 6 26.5734
A couple of noteworthy things.
1) CU played very well at home last year, scoring 10.7 PPG more at home than on the road and winning 55% more games at home than on the road.
2) UCLA didn't score many more pts at home than away (1.4), but won 40% more games at home than on the road. This year UCLA will be playing their "Home" games at the Los Angeles Sports Arena which is right next to USC as Pauley Pavilion is being renovated.
Good article on their attempted adjustment to their new home here.
3) Washington was a monster at home
