How would everyone feel if we could schedule 1-2 nuetral site non-conf games a season? It's getting tougher and tougher with the HCA of big 6 conference schools to win on the road so people are getting reluctant to play other good teams unless it's at home. I think it'd be cool, and life like, if we could schedule 1-2 nuetral games where HCA is removed and it is coaching and players that will decide the game.

Let's be honest, HCA is real. So is neutral site games for marquee match ups. Syracuse and Miss State on a neutral floor and so on and so forth. What do you think?

I think its a great idea! It would be cool if they had the venues as well... I'd love to take my Blue Devils to MSG and play another Big 6 team..

How does RPI account for neutral court games?

I would think rpi and sos of other team and a neutral court varible built in.

I assume rpi on a neutral court is without the bonus for road or the penalty for home. They have that already in the arithmetic for conf tourny and postseason games

would be cool

remember the reported effort to do preseason or early season tournaments - also cool

That doesn't sound like a bad idea at all.

What do you say Admin?

Just corroborating this...you're right...no weight...win is worth 1, loss is worth 1

Throw out the records when Syracuse plays Mississippi State, it's go time!

nice idea.

i would also be happy if HD had the "home and home" option over 2 seasons if both coaches had 2~ seasons remaining ($-wise)

I like it. I also like J's home and home option.

I think 3 straight NC games for Miss St. and oldresorter now coaching at Syracuse, would make that a great match up yes.
