Calipari makes more sense than committee

It was rather amusing to listen to Kentucky Coach John Calipari rant Sunday afternoon about being a No. 4 seed while co-SEC champion Texas A&M was a No. 3 seed.

Earlier in the day, Calipari and the Wildcats beat the Aggies in overtime to win the SEC Tournament championship.

Basically, the NCAA Tournament selection committee thought more of A&M as an at-large team than it did the Wildcats, who earned an automatic bid with their victory Sunday in Nashville, Tenn. A&M won the regular-season meeting, in overtime, on Feb. 20.

Still, it's not like the 'Cats were dragged into the backroom and beaten with a rubber hose or had the Wildcat Lodge suffer low water pressure.
