Inane commentary on a game that deserves far better


Monday, February 26, 2007

In the SEC, Tennessee crushed Vandy and finished the conference season undefeated. "Obviously, it wasn't our night," said coach Balcomb. The Vols are #1 in both RPI and SOS. Barring disaster in the SEC tourney, they get a 1 seed.

LSU and Georgia both beat up on league bottom-dwellers. Sylvia Fowles became the first player to get a double-double in every conference game. Asked by Coach Chatman if she knew what she had done, Fowles responded "No, ma'am."

In bubble land... South Carolina beat Mississippi State. Both teams held their own in the uber-tough SEC, but both (especially SC) have dubious nonconference resumes. They need another win (or two?).

Auburn finished its season with a big win over Ole Miss. Armintie Price, on Senior Day, had just 6 points on 2 for 7. The Tigers' RPI is far higher than the league's other bubble teams... but do they really deserve it, or is this just another example of the RPI going haywire?
