Lunardi was right, but it felt pretty obvious that we were the most vulnerable of the four teams currently a 1. We just aren’t good on offense.

Joe wasn’t necessarily right or wrong. He can’t predict what will happen anymore than you or I. That would be akin to him saying he could absolutely predict that one of those four would have a bad shooting night on a certain date. Nobody can predict what any team is going to do on any given night. They can guess, but it’s only a guess. It doesn’t mean it’s not going to happen to another #1 seed this weekend.

How does anyone take Lunardi seriously? He is supposed to be some bracket guru. But, there are literally thousands of people (some picking randomly) who finish the NCAA tournament with better brackets than Lunardi.

Where we rank is dependent on how we are able to play on offense. No other team in cleave can play as well on defense as we can. We have another 2-3 weeks to develop a more consistent offense which will allow us to make it to the final four.

Well, on the one hand, no: he's not supposed to be a someone who can pick how the bracket will unfold, he's supposed to be someone who can predict what the committee will do when they manufacture the bracket. On the other hand, as some have shown on here, he's not especially great at that either compared to other "experts". But, it's silly for folks to be upset by anything he says: he's simply trying to guess, based on what he knows about the committee and their choices in recent years, what they'll do. He doesn't look at Tennessee and think, "I like Texas better," he looks at "resume" and says, "The committee usually favors this over that, so they'll put Texas above Tennessee." (Or Kansas, since that was the OPs point.)

Not upset in the least - just think the way he is hyped as a “bracketologist” is a joke. I think jokes are funny.

A) Then you're not one the "folks" I was talking about who get upset; and
B) your post criticized his ability to guess the winners in the tournament, which still isn't the job of a "bracketologist".
