Continuing our 64 Days of Hoop series, we look at the best home court advantages in the NCAA. Duke, of course, makes the cut. But where else is a pain to play on the road? We have our 10 picks inside.

What would this list be if it didn't include the home of the Blue Devils? The quaint facility proves that a big arena isn't always favorable to developing a home court advantage. Arguably the most recognizable venue in all of college athletics, Cameron (capacity 9.314) combines the proximity of the rabid student section and the sweltering heat with Duke's great teams to overwhelm the competition. The Blue Devils have amassed a 689-142 record in the building dating to its first season in 1940. They have had 14 undefeated home seasons in the building.

The Zags sold out every home game last year in the new Kennel, built in 2004. And for the Spokane community, there is home, work, family and Gonzaga basketball. The Kennel is the loudest venue in the West Coast Conference and could probably sell out if the arena sat 10,000. Mark Few's crew beat every high-major school or top non-conference team at home last year.

It's been called the scariest place to play in college basketball, and the resurgence of the Florida basketball program under coach Billy Donovan has done nothing to lessen that reputation. The O'Dome seats 12,000 fans with the 'Rowdy Reptiles' student section dominating lower arena seating along the length of the court. It is now the home of a national championship program, which means Gainesville will probably be an even tougher place to play this season. Since Donovan arrived, the Gators are 127-26 on their home court.

Kansas's Phog Allen Fieldhouse

"Rock Chalk, Jayhawk, KU," quite possibly the best college cheer ever, has echoed through Kansas basketball since it became the official cheer of the university in 1897. Allen Fieldhouse is much more than one cheer though. Named after KU's legendary coach of 39 years, the Fieldhouse has been an extremely intimidating environment for opponents. 16,300 fans, including about 4,000 students seated close to the court, create a wall of noise that never stops from tipoff to final horn. At one point, Kansas won an amazing 62 consecutive home games. Jayhawk fans celebrated the building's 50th year in 2005.

Built in 1926, Mac Court is a basketball historic marker. Much like Cameron Indoor Stadium, the capacity is small in today's standards, seating 9.738. Oftentimes, the Ducks find places to stand and the many obstructed views on the top ring don't seem to bother fans because the place continues to sell out. The student section is right on top of the court and sound doesn't find it's way out of the building. The arena is old but it's a must see place for fans and not a fun place to play for opponents.

Better known as 'The Pit,' the home of the New Mexico Lobos is one of the best environments for college hoops in America. In hosting 41 years of New Mexico basketball, The Pit has aided the Lobos in compiling a home record fo 569-135, an astonishing .808 winning percentage. Built in a 37-foot hole on Albuquerque's southeast mesa, the building was built in very unique fashion, with the roof being constructed first followed by the arena being built in the hole. The altitude and 18,000 screaming fans have made it very difficult for opponents over the years. It's the site of great postseason drama as well, having hosted NC State's miraculous win over Houston in the 1983 NCAA championship game and four NCAA regionals.

The sheer size of the Dome makes it one of the most outstanding venues in college basketball. The largest on campus facility of its kind, Syracuse packs in upward of 30,000 fans on a pretty regular basis (62 times according to the AP since the building opened in 1980) when the Orange take the court. 33,633 fans came for Syracuse's March 4th, 2006 game against Villanova to set a new single game attendance record at an on campus facility. Jim Boeheim is embarking on his 30th year as the Syracuse head coach, meaning he is the only coach to stalk the sidelines for the Orange at the Dome. Syracuse has amassed a whopping 426-76 record at the Dome. Syracuse has led the nation in attendance 12 different seasons at the Dome.

Ask anyone in the Big East and they will tell you that playing at Rutgers is as fun as a root canal or playing poker with Mike "The Mouth" Matusow. It's not fun. The 8,000 seat arena puts the fans sit right on top of the court and pushes the decibel limits. With a new coaching regime and new energy, the fans will now actually something to cheer about.

The Terrapins averaged 17,566 people a game last year, ranking them fifth in the nation. Half of the NBA doesn't average that. And the NBA fans certainly aren't as intimidating as Maryland's. Gary Williams works the refs, his players and assistant coaches but he doesn't come close the intensity, and vulgarity, of the fans sitting inside the Comcast Center. If you have a weakness, they will find it and wear players down with non-stop chants and rants.

The Blue Jays have a new arena this season and are close to selling the venue out with season tickets. When it comes to being a mid-major, the only mid-major thing about Creighton is the title. Dana Altman is as good as any coach in the Big 12. His staff recruits high level players for the Missouri Valley and the fans know it. They pack it in and have a bigger and better fan support for hoops than Nebraska.
