Post by: Clam Crowder on March 07, 2010, 04:36:46 PM
He has a sunday morning update on ESPN. Any insiders?

this morning we were the next team to be added to the 'lock' list.  I would assume with Northern Iowa and others winning the tourneys that we are a 'lock' when Lunardi updates.  Who knows with that guy.

He doesn't have us as a lock yet but first in on S Curve:

Currently In (listed in S-curve order): Marquette Golden Eagles, Wake Forest Demon Deacons, Virginia Tech Hokies, Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets, Florida Gators, Illinois Fighting Illini, Notre Dame Fighting Irish, Saint Mary's Gaels, Memphis Tigers, San Diego State Aztecs, UAB Blazers

Not gonna lie I used to think his word was gold, but when he started to put us lower and lower on the pecking order and still had UCONN in and Louisville now as a lock and Georgetown also in when we beat all 3 I was confused

yeah but that S curve was before the loses of Florida and Illinois and the win of Northern Iowa. If Wake ends up losing tonight i dont see anyway that we dont move into a lock.

Yeah, he's clueless....I used to agree with him until his accuracy rate surpassed 97%.

Lunardi's success rate is vastly overrated. Think about it...with 31 automatic bids, he only has to predict 34 teams, most of whom are pretty obvious. It basically comes down to picking the final 4-6 teams out of 8-10 candidates. It looks good to say he was right about 63 of 65, but most moderately intelligent basketball fans could probably get at least 60 of the 65.
