Fairly thorough analysis and no surprise but:
(a) Based on data only up to 2010-11. Techniques for adjusting to travel may have improved in the last 15 years.
(b) Based on the NCAA tournament games. They are a different animal than regular season games.
(c) Relative strength of teams, the most important factor, is based on seeding. We know seeding doesn't always reflect that.
