Upset in the All A State Semifinal! The locals knock off the Mustangs!  

Not sure why this is considered an upset, knowing that O Cath was playing on their home floor.

Looking at the albeit flawed RPI numbers, Brossart is at .689 and Owensboro Catholic is at .614.  I would think the home court advantage (and lack of travel) would equal that out a great deal, but that's where the upset label comes from.  For comparison, state champs Covington Holy Cross is .721.

Glad you brought that up, I guess that's the reason we continue with a blind draw for the state tourney instead of seeding it with RPI ratings?
