Love seeing bracket projections by guys not named Lunardi. Hate that dude.
Bracketology 101 is one of my favorites, and I'm really enjoying these too Lance and Sean! Love seeing WVU getting the 1 seed over Duke, but don't quite get Nova as a 2 seed. They're 2-6 in their last 8, and just, not playing well. Sad, because I'm a fan/alum. I just don't see that seed for them, sadly.
wonder why he is hating on my dukies...WVU lost to uconn who we smashed (neutral court) by 20 and lost to purdue
WVU plays in a much better conference, and didn't have to play teams with a combined 16-32 record in their conference tourney, and only won by 6 pts per game on average.
WVU also has the 2nd hardest SOS in the nation.
UConn is such a bi-polar team, hard to really use them as a judge of anything, not to mention the two teams played three months apart, so it really means nothing.
Duke is 5-5 on the road. That's ugly.
It's not hatred, it's being objective.
And congrats sean on being so close in a tough year! You were one of the few to have nova at 2, gtown at 3. I thought it was crazy, but hey, you were right.
Hey, good job Seanny boy! U were really close! I'm not looking at a sheet and comparing directly, but from what I can remember, u have a ton of the teams and their seeds right! I keep saying u r the alternative to Joe Lunardi, like what Todd McShay is to Mel Kiper! We just need to get u on ESPN now....hhhmmmm.........
