Michigan’s Home Court – The Real Deal

When most people think of the best home courts in college basketball, they think of a few places. They might think of Cameron Indoor Stadium where Duke plays. They might think of Missouri’s home arena or Florida’s O-Dome. They might even think to Wisconsin, where the Badgers have been consistently good at the Kohl Center over the years. These are all very good choices for great home courts, but we might need to add a new challenger to the list. Michigan is playing great basketball at home and they have been doing it for a couple of years.

The Wolverines haven’t yet lost at game there in 2012 as of this writing. They have beaten Indiana and Wisconsin badly. They controlled Illinois at home, too. They beat Michigan State in that building, as well. All in all, Michigan plays great basketball in front of the home fans. This has to do with the crowd support, as the fans are vocal and they are right on top of the opposition. It also has to do with the interesting sight lines. The gym is unique and this gives Michigan an advantage. They shoot very well at home, so you need to take notice of this when you are making your college basketball picks this year.
