Am i the only one that thinks Kansas has been overrated all year?

KU certainly isn't as talented as they have been in the past. That said, they have the number 1 RPI, number 1 SOS, about to win their 11th straight title in I belive the top RPI conference (this year), and yet they've been ranked around 8-10 for most of the season. Overrated? Not sure.

You bring up a point - what good is RPI if Kansas is higher than Kentucky?

[mrydel]

TCU looking like they may get a big win tonight.

Well, it just weighs SOS against W/L. The SEC is ugly bad.

I know. But there should be some sort of 30-point-head-to-head-victory adjustment

That's called BPI. Another great ESPN manipulative statistic. I will say that I think it's better than RPI though, RPI gets weighted much more than it's worth. It's a key factor a lot of times with seeds and stuff....I don't get it. Stone age thinking.

wHorned Frawgs with the upset of okie lite to ruin my 5 game parlay.

Yep. Totally agree. Although I can't get behind BPI because of ESPN's role in developing/pushing it

Minnesota and Indiana are tied late in the 1st half, 26-26.

[LA_Mustang]

Indiana up 6 at the half.

[CalallenStang]

Come on Hoosiers. Beat baby Pitino

[Terry Webster]

Indiana has 51 points in 3 pointers. 17-31. Make that 18 3 pointers. Wow.

[DanFreibergerForHeisman]

Indiana ends up pounding Minnesota 90-71.

Yeah, we so should have won that game but at least it isn't going to be a bad loss when all is said and done.

[DanFreibergerForHeisman]

Still 24 in the RPI after the Indiana win - only one ten-thousandth behind Providence.

[Rebel10]

Glad Indiana won.
