Lunardi says we are gonna dance!

[Newsdreams]

I still can't get over the fact we are talking seeding and a 5 seed right now. My best case at the start of the year was hovering around the bubble.

+1

[Galway Eagle]

bracketville has us as a 4-seed playing in Portland vs S. Dakota St. The 4 is Kentucky and the 1 is Gonzaga.

We are #16, meaning we are the 4th 4, right behind The Provi.

Others of note: Madison 2 seed, Nova 3, MSU 4, X 6, UConn 6, Ill 6, Texas 6, Okla 8, SH 9, Creighton 10 (last 4 byes), ND 1st 4 out.

Don't the top 16 get released soon?

February 19, the first Saturday after Super Bowl Sunday.

@Providence
Villanova
@UConn
@Butler
Georgetown

Win 3 of those 5 (BU GU and 1 more) and we're in the mix to be in that top 16 reveal.  Which is insane considering where we thought this team would be in the offseason.

Think we will need 4 to be a top 4.

Win 2 of the next 3 tough ones and don't slip up.

[PGsHeroes32]

LSU lost to TCU today.

Love being able to root against top 5 seeds rather than bubble teams.

LSU is the type of team we could battle for seeding

Sorry for the bad ju ju, but look who Lunardi has us facing

I'm fine with Murray State, but Kentucky in the second round would be a bit scary. Based on the bracket I'm looking at, I'd prefer Houston or Michigan State.

100%. I want nothign to do with kentucky.

We crush Kentucky in the tourney. It's a tradition.

Tshiebwe would have 45 rebounds against MU.

[MU82]

Yep.

And Murray State no longer has a future NBA All-Star at PG.

Bring 'em on!

[JakeBarnes]

Tshiebwe would destroy us.

[lawdog77]

Tshiebwe would destroy us.

If we faced UK, I think we need to pool our money together to get Tshiebwe an NIL deal to not play us.

I'm so starved for a tourney win, I wouldn't care if we saw the Bucks second round.

[CountryRoads]

I know Lunardi doesn't consider location really, but it would be fantastic to be put in Indianapolis. Especially for those living in Chicago.

2K man-up on The Greek. Bring it!

Indianapolis to Chicago Regional would be a dream.

[MarquetteMike1977]

Today Joe Lunardi has Marquette as a 5 seed playing Iona in Buffalo with the winner playing the winner of Tennessee Versus Drake

[VanderBlueFanClub]

5 seed as of right now, I could honestly see us being a Sweet 16 seeed in this position. Beating Iona and Tennessee, and Purdue has been upset twice already this season (Rutgers and Indiana), two teams I believe were better than.

Fun fact, if you hold Purdue below 70pts you're guaranteed to win.

Good luck rebounding against that 7-foot-four giant though.

[brewcity77]

It would be an interesting matchup. They're great offensively, but they don't guard anyone. I think Violence would work pretty well against them. Their losses have mostly been to teams that dirty the game up.
