People keep claiming that we shoot the 3 better at Gampel than XL. I thought my eye test had it, but it was much more even than I expected. I figured we'd see at least a 3-4 point difference in favor of Gampel.
I didn't include the no fans season at Gampel and it's only during Hurley's tenure that I calculated. I started with the Ollie years but got very sad. It was hard enough looking at how bad our opponents were in the AAC; I couldn't take any more.
Personally, I'm going with XL purely based on shooting (not fan experience) because the shooting is essentially the same, but having more top-50 opponents is the decider. FWIW, the difference between the venues is about 6 makes. I could imagine playing a few better defensive teams (or shoot, just a few more boneheaded plays vs cupcakes) could explain the difference overall. To me, our 3 point shooting is essentially the same at each venue.
