MADISON, Wis. (AP) -There’s no place like home in college basketball.
Like Kansas at Allen Fieldhouse, which has a 94.4 percent winning percentage at home since 2001-02. Or Duke’s Cameron Indoor Stadium, where the Cameron Crazies have helped the Blue Devils win 93.5 percent of their games in that span.
Four more programs – Gonzaga, Utah State, Wisconsin and Pittsburgh – have won 92 percent or more of their home games over the last nine years.
Coaches and players point to loud crowds, but that’s just the start of it. There’s the travel, unfamiliar locker rooms, quirks at the arena – like Vanderbilt’s Memorial Gym, which has benches at the end of the court.
