Someone had asked earlier whether or not the Hoyas shoot poorly at MCI. I thought it was an interesting question, because, if true, it would not bode well to have a perimeter-oriented offense yet play at an arena that cause your shooting to decrease.
So I looked it up, and using every game over the last three years that the Hoyas have played versus a major conference opponent, this is the result:
2 point % at MCI/Non-MCI venues: 45%/44%
3 point % at MCI/Non-MCI venues: 32%/33%
FT % at MCI/Non-MCI venues: 75%/73%
In short, we seem to shoot about the same no matter where we are. Now, obviously a lot of these non-MCI venues are similar to MCI, so this really doesn't answer the small gym/pro arena question, but it isn't meant to. We won't often face tough opponents in a small gym.
