"Things will be different when we play at our place."
It's a statement that, in various forms, college basketball players and coaches have said over the years after a tough loss on the road against a quality opponent. Knowing that there might be a chance to avenge that defeat later on at home provides solace as well as motivation.
Sadly, though, with expansion giving us so many oversized conferences in Division I, the era of the home-and-home series is winding down.
Leagues with more than 10 teams tend not to play enough conference games to allow every school to both host and visit each other, leading to unbalanced schedules that put as much emphasis on whom you play rather than how you play.
Luckily, there are still plenty of great home-and-home conference matchups on the docket for 2014-15.
Take at look at the 10 best set for this season, then let us know which other home-and-home affairs are worthy of making this list.
