So we totally missed Kentucky’s somewhat impressive 72-66 triumph over No. 3 Tennessee Tuesday in Lexington. After the Vols dismantled Vandy last week, the Tennessee bandwagon was overflowing, and the strange phrase, “No. 1 seed” was getting tossed around more than a joint at the Mike & Mike roast. There could be some merit to that, eventually – in a down-ish year for the SEC, somebody’s got to earn a No. 1 or No. 2 seed, right? Unless, of course, UCLA and Washington State blow away the Pac-10, UNC and Duke both win 25 games, Indiana torches the Big 10, Kansas does the same in the Big 12, and someone from the Big East joins Memphis in the Top 8. Someone’s getting a three seed. After the jump … a parity-filled Wednesday has us geeked for another night of close games between mediocre teams tonight!

Please take note of the following from the ACC, Big East, Big 12, and SEC.

* GT 77, NC State 74 (in Raleigh, ha!)
* FSU 69, UVA 67
* Connecticut 84, Cincinnati 83
* Baylor 116, Texas A&M 110, 5 OT (in College Station)
* Florida 73, South Carolina 71

Expect more of this tonight among teams that will be scrapping to get into the NCAA tournament (can you believe Baylor is 16-2?): Duke at Virginia Tech, Dayton at Xavier, Washington St. at Arizona, Washington at Arizona St. and UCLA at Oregon.

This is starting to look like the NFL – one clearly dominant team (Memphis, with that weak league, is a serious threat to go unbeaten), a few very, very good teams (Kansas, UCLA and North Carolina would be equal to Dallas, Green Bay and Indy) and then a shitload of parity.
