Lunardi's way too early bracketology

[CL82]

Yes, please.

(Although, His inclusion of Cincinnati makes his predictions questionable.)

 

[RuffRuff]

Will take a Rodney Terry team any day in the tourney. ISU and Zags could very well be rematches to early season games.

 

[alexd]

Yes.
Book it.

 

[controlfade]

pretty sure Iowa State dont want to see that bracket

 

[UConnTrumbull]

“way too early complaint here” - I’ll take 2 seed in the East

 

[REB1094]

It's August so there's no point entertaining it, but I'm off from work today so I'll entertain it. Below is what he projected in last summer's way-too-early, and then where they actually landed

1 Seeds: UConn (1), MSU (9), Marquette (2), Purdue (1). So 2/4, almost 3
2 Seeds: FAU (8), Arizona (2), Alabama (4), Houston (1). 1/4, almost 2. Way off on 1
3 Seeds: Miami (no tournament), Duke (4), Kansas (4), UCLA (no tournament). 0/4, almost 2, but the other 2 were WAY off
4 Seeds: Tennessee (2), Arkansas (no tournament), Gonzaga (5), Creighton (3). 0/4, almost 2, 1 WAY off

Some of the other notable spot on ones: SDSU and Dayton at 5, Texas at 7
Some of the other notable close ones (within 1 spot): Wisconsin at 6 (5), Florida at 7 (8)
Some of the funny ones and their actual record: Maryland 8 (16-17), Michigan 11 (8-24), West Virginia 9 (9-23), Rutgers 9 (15-17), USC 6 (15-18), Villanova 9 (18-16), no Illinois (3 seed),

 

[GoConn]

Cincinnati as a 5 seed is wild imo

Wildly overrating Michigan State is like a summer tradition for bracketoligists

 

[freescooter]

Lunardi is like everyone else. He throws in a few wild picks just because it would be pretty boring otherwise.

 

[Palatine]

There's only one thing worse than being a #1 seed in a completely useless preseason bracket.

 

[IndyLives]

Danny would definitely sign off on this today.

 

[uconnbill]

Nothing wrong with this

Wildly overrating Michigan State is like a summer tradition for bracketoligists

Underrating them when the bracket drops is a classic March tradition for betters

 

[HitDog]

Danny would definitely sign off on this today.

Maybe but I bet he really wants the East Regional in Newark
