Lunardi drops us to a two seed in the east.

They just need to hire someone new to do this. Even if the takes are nearly the same, seeing the pairing of Lunardi’s name and yellow chompers associated with ridiculous brackets has been old for a while. Seems like, as other have posited, he’s just getting ESPN clicks now. Get someone younger with a real background in the algorithms of NET, BPI, KPom etc who (at least yet) isn’t just fishing for clicks.

I wonder, how accurate has Lunardi even been over the last 10ish years?
 
I want to stay in the East

I love seeing Dook in our bracket. We sent them home twice crying on our way to National Championships

We're Dook's daddy (and UK, Gonzaga, SD St and whoever else we beat twice on a way to a ring)

Wow. Hope you have a full recovery. You might want to reduce the amount of time you spend on the conference realignment board.

They may talk a big game on X
talk is cheap , no fans ever talk their team into a win.
But we’re the last guys they want to see on a road to the FF. The moans on selection Sunday frrom Durham could be heard in Storrs.,
i personally don’t care if we’re a 1,2,3,4
Thats not as important as how your playing in late March or April
We‘ve won this thing
from a : 1,2, 5 ,7 , 4,1
We’ve also lost as a
1 seed at least twice
Blend as a team ,play well enough to get a good seed , win the conference, the conference tournament, and its game on
The fact that a team that lost 4 starters all drafted , two lottery picks , is picked that high is amazing.

This is going to be a team that doesn’t peak until late in season. Lots of new pieces, and the Hurley system takes time (look at Newt in 23). Looking at Lunardi bracketology in August makes us Boneyarders Boneheads ;).

CL82, you okay? Didn’t know you had one. Ischemic or hemorrhagic? I know a lot about this - and am aware of certain (relatively unknown) treatments available that might help post-stroke outcomes. I had 3 in one day in 2014. Was in a wheelchair for 6 months. Unearthing root cause is critical in minimizing other ischemic situations - from happening again. Just ingesting a blood thinner may not be enough. Just trying to help.

I don't know what methodology was used but here is one evaluation of bracketology sites. Lunardi - #118

Squid beats Dook in Sweet Sixteen we beat Squid in Elite 8. Danny cements his legacy in Newark, New Jersey a stones throw from where he grew up.

I am all good with that scenario.

No. I want to beat Duke. I don’t care about beating Arkansas.

Completely unimportant but we were a three seed in 2011.

Thanks Citrusdog! Your comment in others are very much appreciated! So the truth is I fired off a snarky reply when a poster was critical of what turned out to be some pretty bad typos in my original post. I'm fine though and haven't had a stroke event at all (knocks wood). But I really appreciate the comments and well wishes about my health. Posters go back-and-forth a lot on the board with what typically is good natured ribbing, but when something goes wrong for one of us, everybody rallies around them. I have to admit that I was a little bit touched by it. But as I said above, I'm fine, and I apologize if I made anyone concerned.

This is all so exciting. We've been dropped to a #2 seed in late August.

There is only one thing worse than being talked about.
 
We are the odds on Vegas favorite to win the whole thing and yet Joe "Lunkhead" Lunardi has us as a 2 seed. Comical.
 
Doomed to tier 2, er 2 seed. If you can't trust the worst bracketologist of all bracketologists.... then you may as well just guess yourself
