With all the talk of no respect from the talking heads (which I quite frankly don't care about, but it seems to have gotten a few people's undies in a wad), here's some statistics driven thoughts that put the Cats at #2 on the S-Curve.
Odds on getting a #1 seed
1. UK - 99%
2. VU - 79% (Basically the same odds to win tonight)
3. Arizona - 75% (They are an 89% favorite to win tonight)
4. Wisconsin - 51%
5. Virginia - 46%
6. Duke - 46%
No one else realistically in the hunt
Win tonight and you're a #1 seed, lose tonight you aren't.
