But when they are undefeated or have 1 or 2 losses their conference doesn't matter. Makes no sense.
I think this is fair with 3 to play and SEC tourney to play.Lunardi has us down as a team who's resume is "better than at first glance" - basically he went back and reevaluated everyone's resume and realized he was undervaluing ours.
He has moved us up to the TOP 4 seed, just 1 slot away from a 3 seed!
It's in our sights! Need to get to that 3 line!
Saint Mary's is in their conference and ranked higher. They can get 2 bids, but it's not common because the rest of the league is so bad. I do think Zaga is worthy of a bid, I am just saying they are a bubble team currently. They can still win their conference tournament though and auto qualify.
"Way off" meaning he misses a bunch of them. He does.
Don’t forget the last couple of years the committee has basically ignored the conference tournaments and their results.
The Sunday SEC final sure doesn't count. They clock out on Saturday night and close up shop. We gotta move that game to Saturday and start the tournament a day earlier.
Some of the bracket matrix guys are on Twitter, and post their thoughts nightly. A few of them also have us as the top 4.Lunardi has us down as a team who's resume is "better than at first glance" - basically he went back and reevaluated everyone's resume and realized he was undervaluing ours.

I think we need to win out for a 2 . and even then we are probably the highest 3 seed. as long as we are a 3 seed though I am fine. Its just such a diffremce being a 2 or 3 compared to a 4 or 5. In those seeds you are playing a team of equal worth essentially by the 2nd game . I think its important for a team with no tourney experience to get some confidence in those 1st few games like we did in the 2011 season when we pulled out a a tough one in round one on that Knight Jumper and then avenged some ghosts by beating WVU in the 2nd round . There are not many teams I want to avoid before then elite 8. Uconn , Houston , and maybe Iowa St are about it .
You can’t look it like that. We aren’t any seed until selection Sunday. Just a lunardi dart toss. In order to be a 3 seed in the tournament is to run the regular season table. Period. Even then we will HAVE to win our opening game in the SECT and maybe even one more to nail it down playing at more friendly venues. The bottomline is win out and win a couple sec games in the tourney. 3 seed lock if we do that
maybe not as much in seeding, but definitely in rankings, UK for years was given the benefit of the doubt, but years of coming up short now works against them. UK has to prove more they belong than in the past
You have to hand it to him, though. He’s convinced millions of people that his opinion is of importance. He sells magical elixir on street corners in his spare time.
