Five road games out of six

[proudopete]

Did anyone else notice that both Purdue and Illinois have five road games during a six game stint? Illinois has five in a row following their loss to us. We have five out of six with the home game being NW.

I’m not sure I ever remember the conference doing this? Anybody have a similar situation in mind?

That Fox graphic was wrong. MSU, Wisconsin and Northwestern are all home games for Illinois. The commentator made a comment about it but they just kind of brushed over it.

I thought the same thing initially too, because as all road games that is a brutal stretch.

I thought Purdue's was four of six. I think the other home game is Ohio State with the road games:

@ Illinois
@ IU
@ TMHR
@ Minnesota

That graphic was wrong.Other than that,I thought that was a good job by the announcers.

The play by play guy says “Purdue” funny. Bugged me.

Yeah the graphic was wrong. This year though I have seen several instances of teams having 3 straight road or home games, which is unusual on its own.

Fox (FS1) also had quite the error during the women's game against Indinia the other day. The halftime stats showed Purdue 13-30 from 3. They had 32 points. Oops. Guessing 13-30 was their total from the game before? But that's still a lot of 3s.

Everyone’s schedule in conference looks similar. A lot of back to back road games followed by two home games. Some have a single home then another back to back.
