Notes to self: don't cap too early in the morning. be more skeptical of effort from players.

It happens every year. Now we know the season is maturing... because home teams that showed nothing statwise are beating superior visitors. I really thought Duke had this one. Sizable lead all game so I stopped watching.
Nope. Clemson's stats were nothing like on paper. The Rutgers home crowd got to them. Indiana forced 2 OT's but never was in control of the game. Carrier Dome cheerleaders were too much. So it made for a bad night, but now is the time to take home court more seriously, especially for schools where the crowd shows up and puts pressure on them. Home Teams went 36-9 last night.
Another thing I'm going back to is capping before I see the line so it's not an influence. Only after I have my own number will I compare. Home court is worth about 5. In reality it can be worth double digits sometimes.
I don't think it's time to start lowering the number of bets yet, because more often than not, there is safety in numbers when the season is young.

I have wondered about how HCA might differ this season. You basically have two classes of players who have never played a true road conference slate in college. There will be a period of adjustment, but I'm not sure how long it lasts. Be careful though. This time of year you have finals and then Christmas break, which greatly reduces students at games. That said, I think we could see home court influence a lot of outcomes in early January as conference play gets going.

good points and there are probably 3 tiers of HCA by school support. To what degree Christmas Break drains home attendance I think would depend on geographical commute distances. Some places it actually gets more attendance, like in the Northeast where school commute times are very small. Other places I think your point is valid.

The Arkansas 97 point brush-up blew those two bets by a little. Disappointed in South Carolina. Marshall tight road loss.
Season still so young. Teams are getting better and getting worse. Some are improving and others are getting exposed.
Just have to hang in until the data we look at means more as the season progresses.

Everyone's an expert in hindsight, but one thing I have noticed over the years (but have zero data to back up) is that when high majors play these lower tiered schools and the lower tiered school likes to play fast, a lot of points get scored. That game ended with 83 possessions. The horrid FT shooting kept it closer to the total than the pace would have suggested. Not a critique, just an observation.
