Quick recap of the “Games of Importance for the Cats last weekend. The number in parentheses is the RPI on Friday, NOT NOW.
Kentucky (72) beat Arkansas by 5
Creighton (71) beat Oral Roberts by 1
Wright St. (70) lost to Illinois St. by 8
Seton Hall (69) beat Depaul by 2
Temple (68) lost to Fordham by 2
George Mason (67) lost to Ohio (61) by 12
NC State (66) lost to Virgnia by 18
UAB (65) beat SMU by 14
Virginia Tech (64) beat Georgia Tech by 8
Wake Forest (63) lost to North Carolina by 18
Maryland (62) lost to Miami (FL) by 15
VCU (60) beat Akron by 5
These games went 6-5 in UK’s favor. Now, the games to look for during the week:
Kentucky (65) at home against Ole Miss (Wed.)
Virginia Tech (64) at home against Boston College (Tues.)
Houston (63) at home against Southern Miss (Wed.)
Wake Forest (62) at home against Maryland (Thur.)
Davidson (61) at home against Appalachain St. (Wed.)
Florida (60) on the road against Georgia (Wed.)
Ohio (59) does not play during week
Oral Roberts (58) on the road against South Dakota St. (Thur.)
Oregon (57) does not play during week
Rhode Island (56) on the road against George Washington (Wed.)
Texas Tech (55) on the road against Texas A&M (Wed.)
Interesting fact of the day: Kentucky has actually been OUTSCORED in SEC play, despite their 9-3 record. Further proof of how well they have played in close games and how weird the loss to Vandy was. On to the links:
1. The women’s team won AGAIN yesterday, taking down former UL coach Tom Collen and the Arkansas Razorbacks. The Cats now sit in 4th in the conference, which interestingly does not split the teams into 2 divisions.
2. Short articles on both Scotty Hopson and UK’s junior-college prospects in the Courier-Journal yesterday.
3. Eric Crawford tries his best to give this year’s team a nickname. But, its my thought you have to do something special to get a nickname. One exexption: Team Turmoil. Although I don’t think Tayshaun Prince and the boys were happy about that one.
4. John Clay highlights Joe Crawford and Ramel Bradley, ironically focusing on the two plays that Matt talked about in his game notes yesterday. What was the last UK team that had seniors this clutch? Tayshaun’s last year? The Bogans and Fitch years? Maybe Chuck Hayes last year?
5. Over the last couple months, I have put several lists of hot wives and girlfriends, but lets take a look at the other side of marriage, with the wives that have embarassed their husbands the most.
6. The Angry T is producing its own Oscar ceremony, showing the nominees and winners of the worst sports movies/performances ever.

you actually want Houston to keep winning since opponent’s winning percentage is 50% of the RPI

One what? I can’t figure out if you’re being funny or really have a hard time typing.

There are several RPI sites and was wondering which is the official one the NCAA committee will look at.
February 25th, 2008 at 12:35 pm
The RPI on 3 sites I looked at were:
Realtimerpi = 64
Ken Pomeroy = 65
CBSSports = 68
Sure there are others but wondering why they seem to all be different.
February 25th, 2008 at 12:56 pm
I dont know what the committee looks at but I feel the one most refered to is Realtime i dunno though
February 25th, 2008 at 12:58 pm
I was looking at rivals at hopson and they dont even have uk listed as a school he’s interested in??? I know this subject is kinda overhyped but I can’t help but wonder if we’re even in consideration?

2) I guess you could say the same for Florida as well. That is why I do not think that a loss to FLorida at home is as detrimental as everyone thinks it would be. I could be wrong but in the RPI stand point losing to tenn. and FLorida and making it to the conference finals would not count us out. Depending on who we get in the tourney it may be the easiest and more reasonable way to get to the NCAA tourney.

9)seen reports where hopson is probably one and done in college. just wonder if BCG is maybe looking at guys that may stay at least couple years. and for that reason BCG is not so hot on hopson.

Uk gets 4 votes for the top 25

thats kinda what I thought…. I saw hopson play at tates creek in november and BG was there and after the way hopson acted I didnt figure we were going to pursue at all, but who knows… one year or not I would love his scoring ability regardless
February 25th, 2008 at 1:32 pm
maybe we need a scorer for only a year so that we can reload in ‘09
February 25th, 2008 at 2:43 pm
Isn’t the reason for the different RPI numbers that no one knows exactly how the NCAA committee figures it? And, don’t they tinker with it each year? I thought they other websites are just doing their best to calculate it, as best they can tell, but it’s not something that is agreed to and published.

The RPI changes every time *any* D1 game is played. What ppl are seeing are the results at different points in time. Once the season is over, they’ll all say the same thing.
Personally, I like this site because it updates the most frequently:

Nice article #5. Kentucky was the first SEC school to have black players on our football team, according to this piece. Makes sense, we are the farthest north.
