The two Mayos

[Alan Bykowski, "brewcity77"]

Not Todd and OJ, but Todd and Todd. I felt like there was a complete home and away disparity between his performances, and when I ran the numbers, I was shocked by just how much better Mayo has played at the BC than he has away from home. It also makes sense why so many people are so high on Todd. When we have seen him live, we have seen him at his best. On the road, however, he's been downright bad. Not sure why he benefits so much from home cooking, but I'll let the numbers speak for themselves.

Here are the averages:

Todd at Home

Games: 10
Minutes: 22.6
FG%: 51.4% (38/74)
3P%: 37.0% (10/27)
FT%: 85.7% (42/49)
Rebounds: 2.7
Assists: 1.7
Steals: 1.1
Points: 12.8

Todd on the Road

Games: 8 (2 DNP)
Minutes: 19.9
FG%: 36.2% (17/47)
3P%: 26.3% (5/19)
FT%: 61.5% (8/13)
Rebounds: 1.6
Assists: 1.4
Steals: 0.4
Points: 5.9

That is a huge difference, it really makes you wonder why. Is it familiarity? Is it fans cheering for home team? Is it road pressure? Wonder why.

Great post and thanks for digging through the numbers. I honestly cant think of a good reason other than maybe he's the anti-Larry Bird and loves playing in the Bradley Center (I believe it's Dodds who always references Bird's comments that the Bradley was the hardest building for him to play in). :)

I wonder what his career numbers are home and away?

The caliber of competition at home was less than on the road. Against OSU, Mayo had perhaps his worst game of the season - that was at home. He had a phenomenal 34 seconds against Nova. He followed that up with a poor OT (offensively and defensively). I just think he is inconsistent. Unfortunately, that can be during a game, as well.

Nothing new. I posted these #s here a few days ago....On the premium forum.

Yes, but with each home game the numbers prove more true. I can't help but wonder why.

Only two more games....

I am not saying adding to the stats, just that with each game, home or away, the theory proves to be true.

Todd's freshman year home and away splits. These numbers were very close. Better overall shooting at home, but better from range away from the BC. Slightly better scoring at home, slightly better rebounds/assists/steals on the road. Strange that there was little disparity as a freshman, notable disparity as a sophomore, and stark disparity this year.

Can you run the numbers without games against cupcakes?
