After seeing the way that the Cats successfully turned the Kansas game into the rough and tumble "street fight" that they wanted, with the Cats prevailing despite drilling only 4-for-18 from downtown, I'd have to think that the "dome effect" could work to our advantage on Saturday. Hart, Bridges, and crew are going to have their hands full with the sensational Buddy Boy - and Isaiah Cousins is a dangerous guy too - but the difference between the Sooners making, say, 8 threes and 11 threes could very well be the difference in the game.
Pomeroy's research has shown that three point %s go down about 4% in the Final Four.
With both teams facing the same issue, shooting the basketball, I'm confident that our team defense will once again be the difference in this game. Jay has said that we are not going to aim to speed this game up. I trust our ability to get stops when we need them, and to limit Buddy to under 25.
The "dome effect" has been around every year, since 1997, but what do people feel about its impact this wknd?
