We'll see about GT.

Been watching ESPN off and on all night, NV.

No mention of this Lunardi dude.

Lunardi started making his bracketology picks for the Blue Ribbon Tournament Yearbook, which he edited. This guy is GOOD and rarely misses more than 1-3 picks and usually is pretty close in picking seeds, too.

Good article about him here:

For those that ever got the Blue Ribbon Tournament Book, they're doing one this year (although Lunardi is no longer part of the production, I think).

Then you missed him because he was definitely on during their selection show. He gave himself a C- this year for his predictions because although he got 63 of the 65 that were invited, he wasn't that accurate with the seeds.

Sunflower seeds are good too btw.

I'm picking Central Ct State to go all the way just for the heck of it.

How about you?

Ok then, big boy, how 'bout you put your seeds where your mouth is? I'll not only give you Central CT State, but I'll give you all the 10 thru 16 seeds (28 total teams), and I'll just take the 1st and 2nd seeded teams (8 total teams).

The wager will be a bag of seeds of the winner's choice. (Um, legal seeds, of course.)

OK, so we're not betting your (illegal) sticks and seeds.

Good.

So I get 10 thru 16 of each bracket and you get 1 and 2 of each bracket?

OK. But let's make it interesting.

Winner gets a bag of M&Ms. Large value size.

Winner's choice of plain or peanut, right?

Works for me.

That and 99 cents will get him coffee at McDonald's.

East regional has my Final Four.
What is that?

North Carolina, Marquette, Michigan State, Georgetown.

Go Heels.

[Terrapins Fan]

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.

How far " Past performance"? Last year is last year. The question is what will this years team do? Not too much, I don't think. They should win their 1st round and then Pittsburgh...could be serious trouble.

Maryland, I have going to the sweet 16. Then they are in serious trouble. But with Maryland, you NEVER, NEVER know...they could lose the 1st round or to the final 4....

Maryland will have their hands full with Davidson. They've lost one game since Nov.25, going 25-1 in that stretch. Who'll show up, the team that beat Carolina in College Park and Duke in Durham or the team that lost in Tampa?

Considering that this is one of his main tasks for ESPN, I'd say that he is being paid a lot more than that for this.

I'd like to see this guy's game picks.

NOT


From a Hoya to all Syracuse fans out there.

[DonInKansas]

Kansas should have a bit of a beef; If they end up with UCLA for a shot at the final four, it'll basically be a home game for UCLA in San Jose. Why not KU #1 in the Midwest?

Ok, so I am a homer.

Also, Texas Tech got a 7 seed, Indiana a 10 (or the other way around) Definitely should have been matched up in the same region,just for storyline. Bob Knight vs. the old squad..............
