what the hell does the 92 team have to do with this years team, those stats are useless
It means about the same as North Carolina being 27-0 in first and second rounds when they're playing in North Carolina. Or the same as #1 and #2 seeds being 23-1 when they're playing in their home state in the first two rounds.
It doesn't necessarily say much about certain teams or past years, but it does scream one important stat, and that's the fact that it's tough to beat good teams when they have a nice home court advantage.

Anaheim and SD is not the same thing. 2.5 hours without traffic, but 5.5 with traffic. SDSU cannot guard the perimeter and UCONN has shooters in Walker and Lamb. I'm going with the better coach

Calhoun Losses 1992 Ohio State (L) (OSU was a #1 seed and UConn a 9 seed, UConn wasn't even an established program yet, they were still an up and coming program) 1994 Florida (L) (I remember Donyell Marshall missing key free throws in the final seconds of the game... I am pretty sure he mised both FTs after being a 80+% FT shooter, which led to the game going into OT and their eventual defeat) 1995 UCLA (L) (UCLA was the best team in the country and went onto win the title, UConn kept it close and had opportunities to steal this game) 1998 UNC (L) (Young team and got beat by a better team, UConn won the title next year with the the same team just more experienced) 2003 Texas (L) (Texas was a 1 seed and UConn was 5 seed yet UConn gave them all they could handle, as a more mature team they won the title the following year) 2006 George Mason (L) (Worst loss I can remember. But it was coming the team was not playing as a team the whole tourney and everyone was playing for their draft stocks. They ahd the most talented team in the country and should have won a 3rd title this year) 2009 Michigan State (L) (Was at this game and there were 70k Michigan St fans. It was a legit home game for them and all the UNC and Nova fans were cheering for MSU also cause they didnt want to face UConn, too bad Sticks had that follow up dunk that awed the whole team and caused no one to get back which led ot Kemba fouling and MSU getting the and 1 that sealed the game) 2011 SDSU (Pending)
Calhoun gets his players motivated and prepared. Ex players have said he is the best motivator of any coach they have had and is one of the best prepared coaches for games.
Ultimately it comes down to the players to perform.
In 1999 when UConn played Gonzaga, it wasn't a home game for the Zags but out of the 17k-19k fans there about 15-16k were pulling for the Zags.
