This week's national AP rankings:

#1 Kentucky
#16 Louisville
#25 Murray State University!

We can't plow snow off an Interstate, but by golly we can play basketball.

Kentucky children will attach a basketball rim to just about anything: over a garage door, on a utility pole, a barn wall, a tree, any structure with an overhang is preferred. They will play on dirt courts, learn to dribble through gravel, play with a ball slick with mud and leave their backyard barren of grass within 30 feet of the goal. If you see a miniature dust cloud in rural Kentucky, chances are 5 or 6 kids are playing best 2 out of 3.

And only three kids on kentucky roster are from kentucky.

For the most part they have good kids, play very unselfish, are amazingly talented and represent what is wrong with college basketball today.

Murray State woke up Sunday morning on Thanksgiving after their third consecutive loss (and their second loss in 2 days) to find themselves deep in a hole with a record of 2-4 with another game staring them in the face that afternoon. They won that afternoon, and have won every game since. They went from a dismal 2-4 to a brilliant 26-4 with the second longest winning streak in college basketball this season (Kentucky is undefeated at 29-0), the longest winning streak in OVC (Ohio Valley Conference) history beating their own 23-game record, and became just the 5th team in the OCV's 67 year history to go undefeated (16-0) in conference play.

After earning a top seed and a double bye in this year's OVC Tournament, Murray takes on Morehead State, who got past Southeast Missouri and UT-Martin, in the semifinals in Nashville, TN tonight at 7:30 PM EST (ESPNU). The winner of that game will play the winner of tonight's Belmont vs. Eastern Kentucky game on Saturday night (7 PM, ESPN2).

I really liked Murray State, that is a bummer a team like that is going to be left out of the big dance, because of one loss in the the game that mattered most this year.
