Does the Dome Hurt the Orange's Three Point Shooting?

 I had asked the question yesterday if the JMA Wireless Dome (formerly Carrier Dome) hurt the Orange Men's basketball team free throw shooting.  The question today is does it impact the Orange three point shooting?

Again, I looked at the past five seasons data for my review.

The answer is 'it depends'.   In three of the five seasons it negatively impacted three point shooting, and in two of the seasons it benefitted.  2021-2022 had a significant boost at home with a 6.2%, while last season 2024-2025 had a significant negative impact at -5.4%.

I am sure that the quality of opponent at home and away from home may come into play for some seasons. In 2024-2025 they did shoot poorly against Texas, Texas Tech, and Tennessee away from the Dome.  But they also shot abysmal against LeMoyne and Youngstown State at home. The Orange also had the abysmal 0-9 on the road against a mediocre Notre Dame.  Then again, they shot over 50% against Clemson, California, and Maryland on the road.

Bottom line, I don't think the Dome is impacting the Orange three point shooting.  Perhaps a 10 year or 20 year study would reach a different conclusion.
