Lunardi has us as a 4 in Seattle now. Wisconsin needs to lose.

I'm not too worked up about Lunardi but you're right about Wisconsin

 

[ClonesTwenty1]

Palm has both Wisconsin and ISU as 3's. Kentucky as a 4

Lunardi bumped Maryland a lot.

Lunardi also has UNC in the tourney.
Might be Lunardi's smoking crack bracket

No way Kentucky jumps us. That would be insane

Anyone else watching Cal Poly/UC Irvine?

Don’t give a rip about this game, but Chris Spatola’s creepy ass is on the call. Considering how many times that guy was calling our games, it’s oddly…well…odd.

He’s a weird mother.

Cal Poly is my 3rd favorite team … goooo Mustangs!!!!

Big West thinking they are a 2 bid league is funny.

 

[dahliaclone]

Duke
Auburn
Florida
Houston
Alabama
Michigan State
Tennessee

Those are your 1s and three of your 2s

Texas Tech likely last 2?

St. John’s
Wisconsin
Iowa State
Maryland
A&M
Arizona if they beat Houston
Kentucky

Those are the ones fighting for 3 seeds. St. John’s for sure. I think Iowa state is ahead of Kentucky and A&M now for sure. Houston will keep AZ at a 4. So I guess I don’t see how what Wisconsin and Maryland do matters. Who does Lunardi have as the 3s? He must still have A&M or Kentucky

Lunardi has tech, Wisconsin, Kentucky, Maryland as 3.

He has St. Johns a 2.

Remember when we were a One?

 

[rosshm16]

I can’t stand Johnson

His gimmick was fun for a bit but it's run its course.

 

[ISUChippewa]

they havent played a real high major all season. they played a horrible miami team and KSU when they were bottoming out.

This is simply not true. They also beat a solid Vanderbilt team that will be in the tournament as well.

Big West thinking they are a 2 bid league is funny.

Why? Both Irvine and San Diego have pretty good resumes and good metrics. Chances are it won't happen, especially if San Diego wins, but it's a legitimate argument.

Projected as a 1 and it's a long season.

 

[exCYtable]

I think we would take this in a heartbeat.

They absolutely should be if UC-San Diego were to lose their championship game.

So it looks like either Boise or Colorado St just knocked a bubble team out.

So it looks like either Boise or Colorado St just knocked a bubble team out.

My hunch: Committee will take only the auto-bid winner, the other will be out.

Conversely, it wouldn't shock me if BSU still gets at-large.

I think the only remaining potential bid-steal is from AAC.

Isnt that implied as they haven’t announced the seedings yet?

Lol. Thanks for the laugh

 

[danvillecyclone]

Connor gettin White Claw wasted!

 

[danvillecyclone]

It seems some more news out of iowa city.

 

[danvillecyclone]

My Hawkeye friends with Cyclone Derangement Syndrome keep me updated!

They are saying Owen to Kansas?

 

[ClonerJams]

Rooting for bid stealers. We don't need Texas, OU, or UNC in the tournament
