You keep mentioning the loss to Nike Elite LIKE IT MATTERS.

The 23,000+ fans in attendance (including myself) who booed them off the court seemed to think it matters. I happen to think a prestigious program such as Kentucky losing an exhibition game to a traveling band of rejects at Rupp Arena (where we supposedly have this huge homecourt advantage) is pretty embarrassing.

I was not talking about Against the Spread. Ever think maybe that the home record is weaker because NO ONE WANTS TO PLAY THERE.

No major conference team wants to schedule non-conference games on the road, anywhere. Rupp Arena is no different.

You may not have been "talking about" against-the-spread, but that is really the only thing that's relevant. It measures how well the team played relative to expectations. And they've played much better on the road and at neutral sites than at home.
