Re: 2007-2008 CBB mechanical Home small faves System
Best place to confirm is the "Live Odds" page on Covers. If you click on a game and it says "vs" (instead of "at") between the teams, it's almost certainly neutral site.

Yeah, or you can click on Yahoo 'preview' of the game and see if they list the city - USVI v Texas, etc.

Re: 2007-2008 CBB mechanical Home small faves System
Doing it the covers way means you have to click on each individual game which is kind of a pain.
I was looking at the bodog screen which usually lists the location for all the Maui and USVI games, etc. But for some resaon they missed that one. Last week they had a couple of games that were listed as 'Top of the World Classic' but claimed it was being played in Albuquerque, not Alaska. Apparently one shouldn't fully trust Bodog's listing of locations for some of these games as they don't seem to do a very good job of proof-reading.

Re: 2007-2008 CBB mechanical Home small faves System
Collegerpi.com's database will tell you whether the NCAA considers it a home or neutral game for RPI reasons. I doubt some of those "home" games would apply to this system, but it's helpful info.

Re: 2007-2008 CBB mechanical Home small faves System
Should home-court advantage be weighed perhaps a little less for these games?
Crowd-size should be smaller and less enthusiastic than normal since most students will be hopping out of town. Obviously away-team is still traveling to an unfamiliar environment but I was under the assumption that the influence of the fans in attendance made a difference to the home-team also. I remember going to a couple of Tuesday-before-Thanksgiving games and mid-majors like Miami-Ohio and Wright St and sometimes the crowds are less than half of what they would normally be. Just something to think about anyway.

The effect may not be as large for a school like Akron. I wish my Muskies were playing at Miami this week instead of last.
