2023 Bracketology: UConn a 10 seed

Is there a more pointless thing than a NCAA Tournament bracket 11 months out? I know Lunardi does this every year, but I would love to see the one he did last year for this seasons tournament to just compare. I would guess its pretty bad.
 
I see nothing wrong with sharing the early predictions. Of course this will continue to change as players are still on board to come and go for many schools.

I can't imagine there is much that separates #1 and #88.

The difference is in the seed lines, not picking the 68 team field (which is the easy part). Lunardi is average at best at seeding teams correctly

Are people that nervous about losing a guy who never played, one who stinks, one who went to UMass, and one who couldn’t stay healthy? UConn will be significantly better than last years team who was led by 2 mid major transfers. Let’s relax
 
Amazing how someone can predict where we'll land before we've even assembled a roster of no more than eight or nine guys

Lets go into speculation mode with a full roster
 
Someone needs to remind Joey Brackets what is was like when he used to get stuffed in the locker in high school. Eating his dessert alone in the cafeteria like Steven Glansberg. This nerd has gotten too big for his britches.

Is it o.k. to be worried about losing 4 of our 6 who played the most? Even if you're not an anti-Hurley lunatic, it's fine to have questions about next year. It's just being able to acknowledge that you couldn't count on any of the four who left to have been the answers.

Gotta print something just for the entertainment aspect and for click bait. These “experts” seem to get worse with each passing year with more data being so readily available. Any bozo can regurgitate some data and be a college hoops “analyst”. They are loving the portal with how long it extends their relevance in the off-season.

Exactly. It's not just losing the transfers, which hurts because they knew the system etc but isn't a huge deal if we bring in decent replacements, but losing Cole and Martin especially but Whaley and Polley as well is a big hit in production. Being ranked in the 30's to 40'swsith who's on the roster right now isn't insane
 
idk why some of you get so into your feelings with these. preseason rankings/brackets/articles are what they are. I dont think they are meant to be gospel. It's always interesting for me to see how we are perceived, and it's equally fun for me to browse through and see if there are any teams i should keep an eye on next year that may not be on my radar yet

Polley? Guy had one good game a year. You’re worried about losing him? Cole and Martin were Mid Major transfers who played hard that Hurley got the most out of. Don’t lose site of that. There’s a reason they lost to a mid major 12 seed. You won’t miss those guys by December.

I mean, that's what makes it so pointless right now.

So many pieces are going to move in the next few weeks.

Cole was first team all Big East and Martin was our best player in multiple games last year. What a clown statement. Who do you see coming in that will be better than either by December next year?

LOL, well that was a bit of an overreaction, don’t you think? I respect the anger though.

The entire starting 5. You people love to relish Cole. Guy choked the Creighton game away when Bouknight had 40. Don’t get me wrong they’re easy to root for. Let’s not act like we’re losing Kemba Walker. The fact that Martin was the best player in multiple games is the exact reason this team was one and done on the tournament. Thanks for proving my point you genius.

Okay but if you bring in guys you can count on then what’s the difference. If Diggins was never going to play are you really that worried about it? He went to UMass? UMass lost to Yale by 20 this year..

No, the entire starting 5 is not going to be better than Cole and Martin. If they were, the team would win every game by double digits. What an odd statement.
