Yeah, forget what I said about taking it easy on Lunardi. It's time to take the gloves off. I don't want this team to get jobbed. Somebody tweet this at Joe. "Blind Resumes #1 (These two teams are from the same conference) Team A: 24-7 (13-5), RPI 32, SOS 88, Top 50 (2-4), Top 100 (5-6) Team B: 22-7 (14-4), RPI 28, SOS 89, Top 50 (3-2), Top 100 (6-5), Beat Team A twice" Source: nhbrackets.wordpress.com/2016/03/06/bracket-projection-march-6/

I pointed out that Lunardi , with his ESPN platform , was gonna be a problem 2 weeks ago. He's a shill for St Joes and the fact that we have had to sweat and play virtual elimination games since LaSalle and he has always had StJoes comfortably in the field was a disgrace. We have beaten StJoes 5 consecutive times and 8 out of 10. We are clearly the better team and program right now . It's easy to say that what he says doesn't matter anyways but he's constantly on the air and tweeting stuff out. It's only human that Committee members are listening to his garbage. At least guys like Palm have their system to rely on. I have no idea what Lunardi uses to arrive at his brackets.

Lunardi still has Wichita St in and even worse he has them as a 7 seed with no drop after their loss yesterday. Meanwhile you have guys like Seth Davis that are pretty adamant they do not have a resume worthy of a berth and I agree with him. I'm not sure if Lunardi has some inside info, is just getting lazy, or is completely incompetent. You can make a weak argument for Wichita St to get in, but for them to be a 7 is completely absurd. As a result I'm taking his bracket with a grain of salt from this point forward.

Actually, JC, it's a stupid flapping dodo bird.
Lunardi's callous SJU bias is displayed for all to see. The committee has the same data he does, I'm sure their seeding for Dem Bonnies is higher.
Figures the four-letter word hired a bum like Lunardi. Screw that network and screw him!

Figures the four-letter word hired a bum like Lunardi. Screw that network and screw him! I got a good amount of "responses", over the past couple weeks, after I said Lunardi is and was biased. I wasn't trying to single him out, for no reason, but he's done a pretty good job of tarnishing his credibility lately.. I'm just glad to see other fans are now seeing that I was not over-reacting, and i was just trying to show everyone that it's hard hearing him, in Philly, either under estimate our Bonnie's.. I literally can't wait for Friday night, couldn't come sooner!

USA Today has the Bonnies as a #10 vs Texas Tech at #7, and to add frosting to the cake, SU as one of the last 4 in (and hopefully soon to be out).

I saw that bracket and I would LOVE if that one came true. First off that game would be played in Raleigh. And every time we play in the state of North Carolina, Bona alumni come out in force. An NCAA tourney game? that would be overrun with Bona people. Secondly, I like the matchup - I think Bona would beat Texas Tech. And that would mean North Carolina vs. St. Bonaventure in round 2, which would just be so cool also- Since Valentine's Day Syracuse (2-4) hasnt beaten anyone except 0-18 Boston College and 5-13 NC State . They should be balancing on the bubble. Its not like they havent had chances either to lock themselves in.

Lol-nardi's update still has St J as an 8, not budging all week despite two losses. We go to Dayton and fight Michigan to play in. I challenge anyone to find a single poll where two losses in the final week didn't result in any other team dropping in position m.espn.go.com/ncb/bracketology?iteration=251®ion=3&year=2016

They don't know what their talking about, so why bother? Just have fun with the other predictions, knowing St. Joe's won't be an 8 Seed..

A win against Davidson/Duquense and I will sleep easy. A loss and I'll convince myself that every person on the selection committee is a first rate moron.
I'm sure that is not the case, but the rumblings about how Ken Pom will be used give me reason to be concerned. Ken Pom is fine so far as it goes, but if we are still talking about athletic competition, then wins have to matter more than season long efficiency.
My other peeve is that I keep hearing about how our non conference strength of schedule hurts us. I accept that, but it should be applied consistently to other teams as well. As I listed in a previous post somewhere, bubblers such as Pittsburgh, Butler, Seton Hall, Providence, South Carolina, Michigan, George Washington all have worse non conference schedules. And Cincy's is only about 10 spots ahead.
Another thing committee members should consider is how few true road wins p5 schools have. I think we have more than Syracuse and PITT combined. Yes, they play tough road games, but the other part of it is that they rarely play non conference true road games.
Those are just facts that should be out there, along with the obvious fact that our resume is better than St. Joes. And I hope St. Joes gets in. But somehow if you are assumed to be in two weeks ago, people just ignore that you lost at home to Duquesne.
On the plus side, it seems to me that the yearly "snubbed" teams are weak when it comes to top 50 wins. Bonnies have 3, and 2 of those are on the road.
* Just checked: Syracuse and Pitt combine for a grand total of 6 true road wins.
Bonnies=8 (2 of them top 50)

Lunardi'a bracket is not current so just ignore it. Belmont lost 4 days ago and is still listed as the automatic qualifier. Northern Iowa, Austin Peay,and UNC Asheville have all qualified and yet aren't on the bracket.
