kwyjibo Posted June 28, 2012 Share Posted June 28, 2012 Really? Maybe you're right, but some support for this statement would help your argument out. Of course, you prefer to just assert that statistics support your argument without actually citing any. Toby Moskowitz, U of Chicago Professor, has written about travel as a factor in performance across sports and has found no relationship between distance traveled and away team performance. He writes mostly about professional sports so it may be different for college (but I doubt it). He has a book *Scorecasting* that supposed to be real good but I have not read it. If travel across time zones was a big factor in relative performance, the U. of Hawaii would have a better home court advantage. The last time I looked they were a little above average in college ball over a few years but nothing I would consider significant or proof.

jbizzle09 Posted June 28, 2012 Author Share Posted June 28, 2012 Brad Beal + Kyrie Irving.. that's a team I'd pay to see. The Bobcats should make that deal with the Cavs. It gives Cleveland a young, explosive backcourt and it gives Charlotte a good pick (#4), as well as a couple of other picks to fill out their roster (#24 and #33.) They might luck into Kidd-Gilchrist, but if not, they still have Thomas Robinson and Harrison Barnes sitting there at #4. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Franchise_08 Posted June 28, 2012 Share Posted June 28, 2012 I would like to congratulate Bradley Beal who is about to become Chaminade's 2nd NBA player and we were thought to be a soccer school. The only downside is now I won't see Beal play again since the NBA is unwatchable. Go Red Devils! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whether their griping is warranted is not in my hands. Yep. It is common knowledge that west coast teams struggle on short trips when they play early day games in CST or EST. NCABB, NFL, etc. (bowl games are different, they are there for a week or more and adjust). Ask your bookie. There are tons of stats on it. Just a few yrs ago NFL west coast teams went 0-10 at the start of the yr in this situation, they even commmented on ESPN. Common knowledge.

So, one professor who studied this topic came up with a conclusion that doesn't support your assertion. Then there is one study of one NFL division over a five year period showing an 8% difference. Hardly conclusive. You asserted there were stats to support your statement. Well, let's see 'em. I'm willing to be persuaded. Or is this just another MB special where you say there is evidence to support your statement but you don't actually provide the evidence?

Quality Is Job 1 Posted June 29, 2012 Share Posted June 29, 2012 Regarding the road-record issue, I think the question regarding the mere 8-percent difference and the five-year look is whether road games not leaving the time zone were included. If so, that skews the data. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
