Richmond up 52-42 with 24 seconds left on URI. Out of the First Four for now, but a loss tomorrow to Temple could bump them to that category.

Huskies and Wildcats are going to play for the tourney title.

I'll take 'Zona by ten.

It's an early morning at work and I've got some free time. Let's compare UAB, Memphis, Georgia, and Alabama, because all four are in heavy contention for those last four at-large spots.

UAB: 30 RPI, 1 Top 50 win, 10 Top 100 wins, 28 conf. RPI, 53 N/C RPI, 0-2 vs. Memphis, best N/C win vs. VCU (51 RPI)
Memphis: 31 RPI, 2 Top 50 wins, 12 Top 100 wins, 26 conf. RPI, 65 N/C RPI, 2-0 vs. UAB, best N/C win at Gonzaga (59 RPI)
Alabama: 78 RPI (as a reminder: no at-large team has never made the field with an RPI higher than 74), 4 Top 50 wins, 5 Top 100 wins, 14 conf. RPI, 232 N/C RPI, best N/C win was vs. Lipscomb (131 RPI), 2-0 vs. UGA
Georgia: 46 RPI, 3 Top 50 wins, 5 Top 100 wins, 54 conf. RPI, 55 N/C RPI, best N/C win vs. UAB (30 RPI), 0-2 vs. Bama

This is going to be an interesting decision for the committee as to which two/three of these teams to take. Do you leave out a team with a 30 RPI? Do you leave out Memphis with a 31 RPI? Do you let in a team who had a horrid OOC schedule when you've condemned bad scheduling in years past? Do you let the statistically better team in even though they've lost twice to that team?

I believe Memphis has the edge on everyone else, but it's no guarantee. They'd be doing themselves a huge favor to win today against UTEP.

Memphis vs. UTEP = Freshmen vs. Seniors. Should be a good game to watch coach Paz vs. Tim Floyd.. This young Memphis team will have to bring it this am.

I'm thoroughly enjoying this beat down so far.
