Message: [QUOTE="Vowelguy, post: 4856531, member: 59"] When Sagarin did WCBB ratings, he used to list the value of the home court advantage parameter in his model. So you could see if it changed year to year (not that I ever did look). In this era of unbalanced conference schedules (ie, no true robin-robin in any big conference except the big east), it can be tricky to evaluate home wins & losses. I recall one year some were saying that a particular team was "bad on the road". This faulty logic failed to account for the fact that the team played UConn, Notre Dame, and Louisville (or something like that) only on the road, but Providence and other cellar dwellers only at home. [I]shockingly[/I] this team had a much better home record than road record. [/QUOTE]
