Although we are playing on their home floor, it doesn't present a dangerous road environment like other mid-majors examples thus far (IU @ IPFW, Butler @ IN St, Vandy @ Mid Tenn). I think KenPom's system is giving too much credit to UNCG for the game being played at the Coliseum. Maybe I'm in the minority, but if it is a 40 minute battle w/ Wake winning a close one, i'd be lying to say it wouldn't be a little discouraging. We'll see, but so far my eye test says Wake is good enough to dominate a predicted 10-8 Southern Conf team 30 miles from home.
Yeah--this is a fair statement. Not all road environments are the same, but it's hard to account for, so he just applies a "one size fits all".
If High Point and UNC-G have the exact same team, I would rather play UNC-G at the Coliseum than at High Point for sure.
Also, if we were traveling to play Long Beach State on their home floor (a couple of spots behind UNC-G), I would consider that a "tougher" road game because of the travel required to get out there.
