¹ It is often hard to determine whether a game should be considered "Home" or "Neutral". As a rule of thumb, we consider games played on a large nearby court against a distant opponent to be "Home"; for example, Connecticut plays several opponents at the Hartford Civic Center rather than on campus.

² Conference and non-conference records and schedule strength are shown for informational purposes only. LRMC does not distinguish between a conference game and a non-conference game when calculating rankings; a tough opponent is equally hard to beat whether they're in the same conference or a different conference.
