Abstract
Abstract College basketball fans often speculate on the extent and nature of the home-court advantage. In this article, it is shown how questions about the size of the home-court advantage and about team-to-team differences in the home-court advantage can be addressed by fitting three different linear models to the outcomes of college basketball games. This approach was applied to data from the 1991–1992 college basketball season. The advantage of playing at home (in relation to playing on a neutral court) was estimated to be 4.68 ± 0.28 points. The effect of team-to-team differences in the home-court advantage was found to be relatively small.
