[NoChance]

I have not even started looking for games that fit the trend yet. Most teams are either playing in tournaments on neutral courts or are at home hosting smaller schools that are looking for a little national attention. You wont see these ranked teams traveling to another "decent" team's home court until late in Decemeber or even January. There is just no reason for these schools to do it. I think there were three games in late December last year that qualified. The bulk of it occurs during conference play in January and February. There usually are several ranked teams that will have played 8-10 home games before they even play on the road (not counting the tournaments). Again, Joe Public doesn't realize this and that also adds value to the "trend".

Here's hoping for a great season!!!
