Syracuse (+2) vs. BC
Temple (-2.5) vs. UConn
Butler (-2) vs. St.Johns
Syracuse beat BC 81 - 63 at the carrier dome...they have the better team, better record, better resume...their RPI is 44 and BC is 102...what gives?
Temple smacked UConn 85 - 57 in Philly...they have the better team, better record, better resume...their RPI is 41 and Uconn is 116...what gives?
Butler obliterated St.John's 70 - 45 on their home court...they have the better team, better record, better resume...their RPI is 34 and St.John's is 88...what gives?
one final note...all three of the "better" teams are still on the NCAA bubble and need the wins to solidify their spots in the tournament...does the home court advantage in these games really make that much of a difference?...the first meeting all three easily won by more than double digits...18, 28, and 25 pt victories respectively...so what in the hell does Vegas know that the rest of us don't?...
