Good article in USA TODAY concerning the difficult shooting environment of the Dome tourney sites.
The stats don't lie.   Teams do not shoot it well in these venues.  Teams that pound the ball inside with strength over finese are the teams that have the most success.  Hope we can be the exception to the rule!!
Would love to see the NCAA see the light, and only play the tourney in basketball facilities.  You would see better basketball for sure.

The article doesn't appear to have looked at how teams that play in the Sweet Sixteen and beyond in basketball facilities fared. I'm not saying it doesn't have an effect, but it is also hard to believe some of the effect they're attributing to the domes may well come from the competition. I'd also like to see a 2-pt vs. 3-pt analysis, which could lend credence to the sight line theory if threes are more affected than twos (or better, points in the paint).
