I find that shocking.

You know, the part where Syracuse played 30 road games. When did I miss that?

Not only is the percentage impressive, the total wins margin over these highly-regarded programs surprised me.

Gregg Marshall is a basketball genius and a rock star, IMO.

Now that's funny! As an SU alum, I was always amazed at how Boeheim could always schedule non-con games in the Dome and rarely had to hit the road for really tough non-con games.

I think WSU's record is even more impressive if you include neutral court games. Anybody have that stat?

They'd probably hurt a little since we went a combined 3-3 in Maui and Puerto Rico in 2010 and 2011.

Something even more impressive is that WSU also leads in Margin of Victory in those away victories since 2010.

Ranked by margin of victory it goes like this:

MoV - 7.0 - Wichita State 31-8 79.5%
MoV - 6.8 - Duke 20-10 66.7%
MoV - 6.7 - Belmont 32-20 61.5%
MoV - 6.2 - VCU 28-13 68.3%
MoV - 6.1 - St. Mary's 24-11 68.6%
MoV - 6.0 - Kansas 24-8 75.0%

That's some pretty solid ammo for twitter.

Where do you find these stats. I'm looking for a listing of the score of all games, year-by-year.

And we lost two in the old spice classic 3G's first year.

Second year when Stutz, Murry, and Kyles were all freshmen. Played in the Virgin Islands the first year. In Orlando, I remember an article (from Andy Katz maybe?) leading up to the tournament discussing how everyone but Wichita State would be a postseason team. Gregg had some choice words for Andy Katz, especially when we beat Siena in the second game (and played well in the first game against Georgetown). We also played Michigan State very tough as well...until the "rain delay" screwed up our momentum. Anyone remember that?

Pretty sure those qualify as neutral site games.

ok, I laughed out loud....

We lost to a terrible UMKC team right before that tournament, so expectations were low to say the least. That Siena game was fun, and they went on to win a game in the Big Dance. And yep, IIRC we were beating Michigan State at the half and not by a fluke either. The same Michigan State team that went on to play in the national championship game later.

That tournament kinda set the tone for how our teams here play IMO. Even though for that tournament, the team wasn't very good (though they'd improve a ton throughout the year), they still competed and played well against BCS teams and NCAA tournament teams. Marshall's teams are built to play against BCS teams in physical games.

My wife and I were there. We could have beaten both GT and MS but with as young a team as we had and the pure physicality of the other two teams it was tough. The refs let them play and if the Shox had been wearing tear away jerseys they would have been naked after the first 10 minutes. MS was well represented and they started their cheering one side would yell GO and the other side would yell GREEN. After they did that a couple of times the Shocker fans would yell Shocks as they yelled Green. We pretty much drowned out the Green and so they gave up.
