2025 Bracketology

[muwarrior69]

How many Marquette students do you think actually pay anywhere near $250K over 4 years?

I have no idea, but how many are paying 103K?

[muwarrior69]

Correct. Plus it's also more costly to run a university these days.

Why is that?

[The Sultan]

Why is that?

The IT infrastructure, the services students request, the lack of priests working at the school, etc.

And remember price is about what students are willing to pay. Not what they used to pay.

excellent news this is settled. Booking my flight to Denver. Thanks, Joe!

Joe must be hearing the same things about DO.

[MarquetteMike1977]

I find it comforting Lunardi has Marquette trending up to a #6 seed after losing Oso and Tyler. Brews prediction Marquette will be better than a #7 Seed is already looking solid.

He's better than Jerry Palm.  How that clown is employed is a mystery

Saw him at the MU games in Indy. He's a bizarre looking dude... like there's something
going on. Then again, I was probably 12 Modelo's deep

5 v 12? If neither (02) Wade nor (19) Howard could do it then just chalk it up as an L now.

Agree lol Wade versus Tulsa and Howard versus Murray State haha but feel a W for Kam over McNeese State

So Marquette moved from a 7 seed to a 5 seed in two months without any games being played? 

I'll be damned, the secret scrimmages really do count for something.

I like us as an 11 seed. That way will make the final 4.

Always be afraid of the Kent Stare.  Stealth superman eye lasers.

If so....My brother and SIL (Marquette alums) don't know it yet, but my wife and I will be staying at their house in Vermilion OH. And they will be our guests at the game.

Not afraid of Kent State, particularly (and I know you're not either), but still kind of sucks that a #3 seed would play in Ohio against an Ohio school.

Shaka announced MU will throw some games to avoid this scenario.

Maybe everyone missed it, but after we beat Purdue, Lunardi had Marquette projected to win the NCAA championship. Now that that win's been overshadowed by all the buzz of this week's games, however, he has MU losing in the second round. It's almost as if... Lunardi's bracketology is based off popular game outcomes of the week rather than consistent estimations of team strength...

I love bracketology predictions. But surely no one takes Lunardi's seriously, right?

[Its DJOver]

Other than Mike, nobody takes any bracketologist seriously in Novemeber, that's why all of the good bracketologists don't have brackets in November, that's why NET isn't released in November, because there isn't enough data to have any semblance of accuracy.

Of course not. But he's always good for a laugh.
