I'm aware of the studies for full disclosure ( data and analytics were my world for 15 yrs). There are also differences at different elevations such as where elevation sickness and impacts kick in. For instance high exertion at 8000 ft then at sea level. The point is the results on the court for wins and losses and the advantage is not as much as what you would think. For something more mainstream the Nuggets were slated as having a 2.5 home wins advantage over the year because of altitude.

That would normalize to maybe 1 or less in the condensed college season. Add in talent differential which always plays a much larger share and it's debatable in terms of outcomes. I tend to work backwards with topics like this.

Also just a note- we have northeast/NY blood running through many of us. So if it seems like someone is being an ass (myself included) I likely am. That said- it's not personal and just my nature. Love having you guys around for pre game fun. Cheers!
