Doew anyone sense the slowly Wheels coming off the wagon? I think the Cavalry needs to come to our rescue soon. Just saw the latest Lunardi hate sheet.

Nope.

[GoldenDieners32]

What if we got matched up with michigan again? I feel like we would have a chance but it would be tough

[CAGASS24]

This has prol been mentioned other times but has there been any analysis over the last two or three years on lunardis accuracy for his placements?  I bet his total picked in percentage is pretty high but as far as the actual seeds given and the regional placement?  This Potential Michigan matchup has me worried and just thought about what the likelihood is it goes that way

It would be a good game.

Michigan has been playing well lately

Bracket Matrix has an evaluation system that looks at how various bracketologists have performed over the past five years.  Of the 88 bracketologists they have tracked, Lunardi places at #22.  So not bad.

That being said, just a quick look shows that those ranked higher than Lundardi generally have Marquette seeded a little higher than he does.

[Herman Cain]

Nope.

That is good news

[Mr. Sand-Knit]

Dont want to jinx us but we have gotten incredibly lucky as far as the conference tourneys have gone

[PGsHeroes32]

#0 on middle Tennessee needs to stop shooting

[MU82]

Sweet, see sitting on your ass works out sometimes.

My college major!

Great info - yeah so he is usually in the 330 neighborhood - so id guess he gets all but 2-3 teams not picked in right, so it looks like the guys that are really good at this get about all the teams right and about half the teams seeded correctly and half the teams within one seed - that's 340 - or a few more seeded correctly and a few more where they miss the seed by more than one -

[CAGASS24]

Really hoping for that 10 seed now

[CAGASS24]

Of note from that matrix site from what I can tell the best score on there was a group of high school kids last year who got a 351 and in their bracket we are a 9 seed playing northwestern in gonzagas bracket -

Guys..MU is NOT playing Michigan in the 1st round. The commitee tries very hard to not matchup teams thay have played in the regular season in the first round.

This......they will move a team to a different seed line if they have to in order to avoid this scenario

Latest update.

2nd highest 10 seed. 8 teams between us and the bubble. 4 between us and Dayton. That could change tomorrow if Rhode Island wins....but VCU is only 2 spots higher than us. Could a loss drop them below us?

Looking forward to the Selection Sunday show for the first time in years

Lunardi has said he doesn't worry about this and his bracket is inaccurate in that regard.  He isn't worried about where who someone plays, rather seed lines.

We will not be playing Michigan.  I wouldn't be surprised in the least though if we are playing Northwestern.  I have a feeling that is who we will play; it will be named the "Who will replace coach K championship".

[MuMark]

Could be Northwestern.....or Buzz.....wouldn't that be something.....

[CAGASS24]

All seven Beast teams locks for lunardi now

[JamilJaeJamailJrJuan]

We shouldn't worry about the bubble we are in i think

You change your mind every 20 minutes. Stick with something. It's a good habit.

All I care about is making the tournament . I can make the case that Dayton is a better outcome as we play someone relatively equal seed wise . If we play like we can it may be a momentum builder . Our guys then go into the second round with a game under their belt.

First things first let's get in.

Agree
Great for the program and our new coach.  Gives legitimacy in the eyes of recruits and their parents to wojos vision.

You have been all over the place the last few days. Attacking players, Wojo, the schedule makers.  Now you're all good?  I'd rather have you here in this frame of mind than the previous, but make up your mind laddie.
