Aside from Kansas last night, I was sitting and wondering if I could remember a year where home court teams won so frequently.

I could only really think of 3 big road wins this college bball season

Syracuse at WVU (debatable)
Duke at Clemson
Kansas at Kansas State

It seems like College basketball lacks seasoned players who know what it takes to win on the road, and emotion carries the day. I thought Vandy had a chance to do something yesterday at Kentucky, but that game was never close.

Makes me feel like this year's NCAA tournament and conference tournaments will be a complete toss up. Should be a good tournament for upsets.

tOSU @ Purdue

I agree with this. I also think this years draft is rather weak.

Fan of the Big 10, but Ohio State's win over Purdue was pretty big at the time.

I definitely agree with the topic. Hell, quality OOC wins are fairly rare this year as well.

Didn't Pitt win at Syracuse??

Illinois @ Clemson??

Texas A&M at Clemson??

I agree with the topic as well, and I definitely agree with this March Madness Tourney going to be a crazy one. I think I read a stat yesterday that there were 9 games with ranked teams playing that came down to less than 4 points..or somethin like that.

This March Madness will be insane, partially because there aren't many "great" teams, and a plethora of average to good teams.

Key road wins by RPI top 50 teams:

Kansas won at Temple
Syracuse won at West Virginia
Georgetown won at Pittsburgh
Duke won at Clemson
Kentucky won at Florida
Kansas State won at UNLV and at Baylor
Purdue won at Illinois
Michigan State won at Minnesota
Temple won at Rhode Island
Vanderbilt won at St. Mary's, at South Carolina and at Tennessee
Pittsburgh won at Syracuse, at Cincinnati and at Connecticut
BYU won at UTEP and at San Diego State
Wake Forest won at Gonzaga
Tennessee won at Memphis
Baylor won at Texas
Oklahoma State won at Kansas State
Florida State won at Georgia Tech
Gonzaga won at St. Mary's
St. Mary's won at Utah State
UNLV won at Arizona and at New Mexico
Ohio State won at Purdue
Charlotte won at Louisville and at Richmond
Old Dominion won at Georgetown and at William & Mary

The only reason I included Duke at Clemson was because it was conference game coming off a 30 point drubbing. Clemson should probably be removed from the entire conversation as a quality road win if they lose again at home.

Ohio State at Purdue, yeah that should def be on the list.
As should Baylor at Texas
Wake at Gonzaga
Gtown at Pittsburgh

The A-10 I can't comment on it because I just haven't seen enough. ODU and William and Mary those wins were real early, and they will go a long way in helping their tournament resume but as far as this conversation goes, lets keep it to the major conferences.

Dayton had a quality win on the road against Georgia Tech, but it was on a neutral court in Puerto Rico.

Which makes it not a road win.

Maybe, but PR is not Dayton Arena.

No it's not, but the thread is about TRUE road wins, which a neutral court is not. But it is for sure a big win.

PR is not in Georgia..

Yeah that's not a road win for Dayton..a good win..but not a road win.

I would love to put Virginia and their victory over Carolina on here.
But beating a 13-8 team at the Christensen Center isn't quite a quality win this year.
