In a 30 point game, how many points is the home court worth in the college game. Does it differ from conference to conference? Does a big crowd mean that much? What progams have the best advantage here?

In D1 matches this year, the home team has won about 61%. From a Pablo perspective, that is a difference of about 280 Pablo points, which is consistent with the HCA this week of 262 or whatever. That corresponds to a point percentage of 51%. So in an average 3 game match, the average HCA is about 2 points overall. It will be larger in a longer match, maybe 3 or 4 points total, on average.
There are undoubtedly differences all over the place for lots of different reasons, but I don't think there is enough data to make any valid assessments (not that this will stop anyone from doing so). It's hard to distinguish the HCA from the natural variability.

I have crunched the numbers and come up with the following:
The range is 0-30.
The mode is 4.
The mean is 15.
The average is 3.14159.

Except, for some reason, I came up with -6.23 for Hawaii. I threw that out.
