Another comment on Palm's bracket.  Rhode Island is in?  Really?

Yes they beat Cincy on a neutral floor.   That is nice.    The other 2 top 100 wins are at Home vs Belmont (#60 RPI, #81 in KP) and at home vs St. Bonaventure (#95)

And it's not like Rhode Island did not have other chances to at least get one more quality win.   H against Dayton, At Dayton, At Valpo, at Providence, At Houston, Neutral Duke.   Some of those games are not easy,  but you could have won at least one of those road games.  Add in Cincy and they went 1-6 in their 7 toughest games.   Not good enough -- especially since they have bad losses.

They lost to a sub 200 RPI team at home in Fordham -- also lost loss to Lasalle at home.

They are 55/41/56 in the 3 ranking systems.  Not enough to overcome the mediocrity above.

Quite frankly, I think Palm is mailing it in this year -- I also viewed him as the top of the game.  He also had Auburn and Ohio St on the last teams out line a few weeks ago which was ridiculous.
