of course the fanbase isn't complaining when they get more home games

what I'm talking about is K using his prestige to bully other coaches in to playing the tough matchups at Cameron

We are just saying that Coach K rarely schedules hard games on the road and actually at that teams place.

Part of the reason why it sucks that the round robin is no longer consistent due to expansion.

ya know looking at our own pre-conference schedule we too play a lot of home games...i don't think it's a conspiracy on K's part.

That's actually not a bad point...we've played two actual away games, only one by choice (the other in the Big 10 challenge). ND was considered neutral court; there are two ways to look at that game, though. It was in Indiana (advantage: ND), but it was the day of an ND football game (advantage: us).

So although it doesn't change the fact that K has scheduled precisely zero actual away games this year, looking at the rest of the majors indicates that most teams only played about two away games in Nov/Dec. this year.
