Expectations definitely lower coming into this year than last year. Not surprising, even if this exercise he is doing is a monumental pick of crumbs from his arse.
Typically these predictions are beyond worthless.
Would bet a lot of money on more than 3 bids. Would not bet a lot of money on UW failing to get a 1 seed

But seriously, it always baffles me how many people take what he says as Gospel. Even this far out.

If you don't like these preseason predictions, and heckle those who follow them, why post them?
I like it better when MU isn't in the preseason Bracketology....

It was about expectations....last year MU had many and shat the bed. This year, we have none. Many of those expectations are based on people putting a ton of value into the stuff. I, for one, am glad that many MU fans won't be hooked into this stuff this year for the same reason last Fall I kept asking who was going to play point guard when crazy comments like "we are a Final Four sleeper team" popped up here.
Call it a service to help get people back on planet earth.

So we're going to the Final Four this year?!

Oops, almost forgot. While deflated expectations theory works with most, only
reverse deflated expectations theory works with Wadesworld.
What I think is wild is that Lunardi is predicting the Big East gets 5 bids in 2022-23! The guy is good!!!

It fits his agenda.
Can knock the BEast, MU and try to claim a shocker if I4 makes it.
My expectation is that MU makes the tournament this coming season.
I really feel that we've fallen down on our responsibilities on this thread. Can't anyone make a case for Wisconsin being extremely lucky this year, and that they will fall flat on their faces next year to the point where they'd be lucky to make the tournament. For God's sake let's give their board something to link to! You know they'd do it for us, if the shoe was on the other foot.

I'm sure someone will predict it....I still have my same question...who is playing PG

Oh Look! No Creighton!
And if we had snagged Dayton we could have had FOUR!

Hmm, well if that's my agenda then why have I been defending the Big East the last few days? ::)
I don't know what to think of MU's expectations this year until I understand how good of a point guard we have...that will be the determination.

Stop being pragmatic. You're ChicosBailBonds. Everything you say must be polarizing solely because it came out of your mouth
3 bids including a 10 and a 12 shows how weak the Big East is predicted to be.
Frank the Tank is coming back, not surprising.
