Sure, we can score 98 against the Lehighs of the world so our average looks decent, but here's how much we've scored in our toughest games:
WSU - 54
Gonzaga - 65
FGCU - 62
CSU - 62
Tenn - 62

I would include Santa Clara among our "tough" opponents. We scored 79 against them and they have a higher net rating (67) than Gonzaga (81), FGCU (168) and WSU (225) and are pretty close to CSU (64). Of course that begs the question why we had such difficulty scoring in those other games. It seems being away from our home court is at least one common denominator.
