1-12 Lunardi Bracket
- Thread starter Sparkaces
- Start date
There's literally 0% chance Duke isn't in our bracket.
CBS prob wouldn't want to see that until the final 4. Plus that could possibly knock Duke out early.
If we are #1 Seed, here will be our match up
#16 Indiana
#8 Purdue
#4 UL
#2 Duke
Final Four
#1 UCLA
#1 NBA TEAM.

I'd love to be in Duke's region! ...thats means we'd be in the weakest one. :smiley:
yeah, i just couldn't think of bad match up there, every team would bound to be good.
It's a lock that Indiana or West Virginia will be in our bracket, if not both.
We would never get lucky enough to get in Duke's bracket. I would love to be, as we are a match-up nightmare for Duke and could easily beat them worse than FSU just did. However, they will be in a bracket with Nova or Zaga as their 1 seed. They will get their annual kush ride to the final four. Although, they are so bad defensively that they still could get bounced very early.
Also don't be shocked to see FSU on our side. Their style and our style would make CBS's mouths water.
UK's draw will likely be:
IU 8 seed
Louisville 4 seed
Duke 2 seed
Final four UNC or UCLA
That would get a lot of ratings. The committee doesn't care about anything else and I base that on the kind of matchups they have created in the past. I fully expect a similar draw to the one I posted.

I just like playing teams we don't usually play regardless of how good they are. it is fun and unless it is down the road, it just isn't fair to make UK bring in hostile rivalry situations early in the bracket into the mix while other teams get to avoid them.
I want no part of WVU this year. More of a traditional Huggie team, which could be dangerous especially if they continue their great play. WVU is leading the country in winning margin

Them or Zaga would be the easiest of the 1's or 2's for Duke, or really any team. Nova is a good team, but I have seen them in several close games this year against teams that aren't that good. They could absolutely win it all again, but I like the chances of several other teams better. KU, UCLA, UK, Oregon, Baylor, WVU, UL, UNC, UVA, FSU would all me much harder than either Nova or Zaga in my opinion.
I agree with all that except you gotta supplant West Virginia in there for somebody.......
I hope we get to play 'Press Virginia' again. That nickname is annoying. And it'll be a similar result as 2015 except higher scoring.
Unless they are seeded higher than us or they were somehow favored, there's no way we see them till the final four.
Not me! That bracket sucks.
Baylor as #2
UNC as #3
Oregon as #4
No thanks. Shuffle that deck again!
Anyone who doesn't think our bracket is going to be a bunch of really good teams who are under seeded so they can all be stuffed into a super region of death hasn't paid attention the last 7 years
I guess playing in the SEC hurts us even more than we realize. I've been thinking about this a lot lately.
If we played in the ACC we wouldn't see other top ACC teams in our bracket until the E8 (there are going to be 10 ACC teams in, so each region is going to be stacked with them), but since we play in such a weak league, the committee will have no problem putting us with the strongest 2, 3 and 4 seeds.
So we probably will see Baylor as our 2 and FSU as our 3, probably Oregon as our 4.
Thanks SEC.

I think there is very little difference in the top 8-10 teams. And so 1 seed (& 2 seed) projections will be changing almost weekly.
