I know. It changed it earlier when I figured out I misunderstood the ESPN guys. Flipping back and forth.

All right, all right. You know all those Virginia-type teams look alike! :p

I was just happy to see IL still make it, even though it might not be for very long this time.

Nevadaref Sun Mar 11, 2007 05:53pm

Kansas State didn't make it??? WOW!!!

Not unless you consider losing to last place Miami in the first round of the conference tourney strong. :D

Lunardi picks 63 of 65 in the field and 55 of the 65 seeds within one.

He had Drexel and Syracuse in.

http://www.runemasterstudios.com/gra...images/wtf.gif is Lunardi?

You have heard of Bracketology by Joe Lunardi on ESPN, right?

26 Year Gap Sun Mar 11, 2007 06:53pm

Stanford in is biggest surprise. Drexel should be in. I think teams like FL St & Syracuse have a better argument for being there than Stanford. Here's hoping they get bounced early and Drexel goes deep in the NIT.

If I knew who the guy was, would I have asked that question?

Nevadaref Sun Mar 11, 2007 07:16pm

I really don't mind the selection of Arkansas. Their RPI and SOS numbers are very good.

I happen to dislike Illinois and Xavier getting in.

I'm also not fond of Stanford and Georgia Tech because I believe that no conference should have more than five teams in. If you are looking for two teams that had down years and may have received berths based upon past performance, despite the committee saying that they don't do that, look at Michigan State and Duke.

I would rather have seen Drexel, Missouri State, Kansas State, and Air Force get a shot, but I'm a small conference kind of guy. I just think that having those type of teams in the tournament makes it more exciting. I live for the upsets! :)

Okay, but I'm frankly stunned that you weren't aware of his predicting the NCAA tournament teams and seeds for ESPN over the past few years.

So, now you know.

Arkansas and Illinois should not be in the tournament. Kansas State and Drexel have a good case.

Duke and Maryland were seeded waaay too high. I like VCU to upset Duke.

Terrapins Fan Sun Mar 11, 2007 07:26pm

Respect.

Now all we have to do is earn it.....

How can you have watched college basketball for the last 10 years and be surprised at Duke's seed? Past performance and the conference they belong to had them ranked higher than they should have been all season.
