Can't argue with that. Of course if the RPI were the BCS then Tennessee and Memphis would be playing for the MNC right now
RPI does figure heavily in the tournament seeding, so you may still see that matchup, come March.
Memphis is now the only undefeated team left in the nation after Kansas State's upset of Kansas. Michael Beasley is a beast for the Wildcats. He'll likely be a one and done guy and be playing in the league next year after averaging 25 points and 12 boards a game this season.
I'm not going to say I told you so, but I just wanted to bring back up the quote above. That overrated team is now deservedly the #1 team in the nation.
The tournament is going to be scary this year. I can see upsets on top of upsets coming. Should make the bracket pools interesting.
Normally 9-3 in a major conference is a shoe-in. The early season loses are what's really hurting the 'cats.
Tennessee, Vanderbilt, and Miss. State, should get in from the SEC. A a win over any of these three teams in the SEC tourney would almost sew up an NCAA spot for the Wildcats, especially since they have as good or better a conference record than two of them.

...and now they lose to equally overrated Vandy, helping me come back a bit on my point.
That crow tasted good, though.
If Paterson would have been playing, they would have lost. He had 20 points and 8 rebounds in the first game in Lexington. Huge loss for the Wildcats.
Has anybody talked to their local CBS affiliates about their plans with the NCAA tourney yet? i.e, whether they will broadcast additional games on their subchannels? I know my local affiliate said last year that they were not allowed to show a different game on their HD channel than they showed on their analog channel.
I don't know about local affiliates, but you can watch all non-market games online for free.

I've used it the last couple of years and it works great. Games that are broadcast in your market (based on IP address) are blocked, but you can watch the other games that are on at the time. The quality isn't the greatest, as Ramy said, but it's free. They even have a "boss" button that you press and it brings up a picture of an Excel spreadsheet if you're watching at work and your boss happens to walk by. I got lucky last year because my company's IP address isn't local and I was able to get the in-market games.
