    Identifying neutral courts in NCAAB

    Is there an easy way to tell if a match was played on a neutral site? If someone has an easy solution I can automate for 5 years of data, there will be SBR points involved...

    If you look at team results/schedules on college sports reference there is a separate field that notes(marked by an "N") when a game is played at a neutral site.

    http://www.sports-reference.com/cbb/

    Or you could always go to the old ESPN boxscores as they always list when a game is a tournament or played offsite underneath the boxscore. But I think you might be better off with sports reference since you can automate and download a lot of their data.

    statfox has a "*" next to the games that were neutral, you can write a VBA query to extract all game that have "*" in their matchup and place them on one sheet

    Considering how many I used on BetPhoenix free plays, they were never worth much for me

    Sometimes these so call neutral site games are really not that neutral. For example when Gonzaga plays Memphis and the game is in Seattle.

    Is there any web location that shows the match schedule for this upcoming season with neutral courts listed?

    Cheers
