Something else to chew on from ESPN

[SWC75]

Stephen Bardo just said that if Kentucky took on Syracuse, he'd favor the Wildcats, "because of how hard they play". Good. If we do play them, that can go on the bulletin board.


They had a graphic listing the ranked teams they had played, (there were five) and Bardo tlaked about that. it also said "strength of schedule: 104". These schedule rankings don't seem to make much since. I heard we are #2 now. But why? This hasn't been a strong schedule, full of highly ranked teams. It must be that when teams like kentucky aren't playing high profile teams, theya re nplayign nobodies.

the thing that really kills your SOS is playing the teams over 250. We don't do that.

But what diffence does it make playing RPI 200 teams vs RPI 300 teams? You win by 20 instead of 30?

Is Kentucky really affected by their SOS? Are they not on track for a one seed?

I'd rather play a handful of really good teams and some bad teams rather than a slew of mediocre teams...but hey lets raise a banner for having the top SOS in January.
