Here it is game by game, compared to each team's season percentage (Proof of The ROC Effect)
Cleveland State
First half: 6/7 86%
Second half: 9/17 53%
Total: 15/24 63%
Season: 218/333 65%

San Diego State
First half: 2/5 40%
Second half: 7/14 50%
Total: 9/19 47%
Season: 162/245 66%

Texas Southern
First half: 8/12 67%
Second half: 7/10 70%
Total: 15/22 68%
Season: 176/265 66%
It should be noted that this game was the day before Thanksgiving and as such The ROC did not have as many people and they didn't have the infamous black and white zig zag banners and signs. I'm going to take the liberty of excluding it from the final tallies.

Utah State
First half: 7/12 58%
Second half: 2/8 25%
Total: 9/20 45%
Season 244/331 74%
No wonder AggieBoard was complaining so much!

Pacific
First half: 5/5 100%
Second half: 1/3 33%
Total: 6/8 75%
Season: 181/271 67%

St Mary's
First half: 1/2 50%
Second half: 4/4 100%
Total: 5/6 83%
Season: 185/263 70%

San Diego
First half: 2/3 67%
Second half: 3/4 75%
Total: 5/7 71%
Season: 204/287 71%

Portland
First half: 0/2 0%
Second half: 9/16 56%
Total: 9/18 50%
Season: 293/359 82%
This one is quite stunning as Portland came into the game with the best free throw shooting % in the nation.

Total for all teams:
First half: 23/36 64%
Second half: 35/66 53%
Total: 58/102 57%
Season: 1487/2089 72%

So it seems like we are holding teams well below their averages in the Marriot Center in both halves. This could be altitude and just general noise in the first half. But teams are also significantly worse in the second half than the first. Conclusion: The ROC Effect is real.

Let me know if you see any flaws in my math
