Winning Sunday road games makes the trip home and getting back to campus later that night a little easier. After any loss the bus is miserable and the bus/plane ride home seems that much longer. Throw in getting swept and you might as well be at the morgue. You can lose the first two but if you win on Sunday everyone only seems to remember that. Even though you lost the series you still came out to play and avoided getting swept. You can take the first two games but if you lose on Sunday it leaves a bad taste in your mouth, especially if you lose because you didn't come ready to play. You're not happy, your teammates aren't happy, and the coaches aren't happy which makes pregame or god forbid practice on Tuesday all that much more exciting. I've heard it referred to as "Championship Sunday" (anyone who knows what I'm talking about is sick to their stomach) but the truth is most of the time the series is won on Sunday leading to a better trip home.
