the article doesn't go quite as far as to say the Pac-10 should only get two teams in, but it certainly has few nice things to say about the conference. it implies that in the actual RPI rankings used by the selection committee, the Pac-10 is the fourth highest conference, not the second as has been widely reported. it also has an interesting fact: no Pac-10 team has ever made the tourney without at least 10 conference wins (this shouldn't be an issue for UCLA, as right now we stand at 8-7). the article also makes a point that our performance in the Pac-10 tourney will have an impact, which i believe to be true. unless we win out the remainder of the regular season, losing our first-round tourney game would leave us with 17 wins and most likely on the outside looking in.
