Huge, Nerdy Question

[TreyVega]

What's the largest two game win/loss point swing in NCAA history? I.e, Iowa's was about 64 points between the Purdue shellacking (40 pt loss) and the Nebby dismantling (24 pt. win).

I don't have an answer, but likely it's HUGE. Given that in the non-conference teams may play a challenging game then have a complete cupcake (or vice versa).

The bigger question might be " what's the biggest point differential between a road loss and a home win against the same Big X team "? In '86 Raveling lost to Wisconsin 63 - 69 in Madison then won in Iowa City 101 - 48, a 59 point swing...

Think the OP is talking about back-to-back games.

I know, but I changed the premise of the question...

Math can be your friend if you let it. Purdue loss was 36 points not 40, therefore the swing was 60 points.

Yes, but math wont help you bury a body.
