Lunardi's Bracketology...
From February 8th to Feb 15th, UK dropped from a 5 to a 9 following a 4 game losing streak. A week later, Feb 22nd, and following two wins, they are 5 seed again, and have been since.

I made my feelings about it well-known at the time that they were being overvalued. You and I even had a back and forth about it. You need to check your facts on this one.

Literally what I just said???

You said for a "few weeks they were a 7, 8, 9 seed."

They were a 5 seed on Feb 14th and within 9 days time (Feb 14th-22nd), they went from a 5, to a 9, back to a 5. That isn't literally what you just said.

I mean I was going by BM, but I'll believe it from Lunardi.

We should absolutely steamroll UGA, but the Dawgs have our number in basketball for some unexplainable reason.

Our big guys didn't take care of business against there's. Got out hustled. I'm ready to blow their doors off. Look for our bigs to be extremely aggressive

We obtained our first Q2 loss, when GA fell to an RPI low of 80.
Really need to put it on them at home.

Western Kentucky vs Middle Tennessee looks like the game of the night. How often do you get to say that?

Good news from last night - with SC's win, they are now projected to be a Q1 road win for us - however just barely. They need to win 1 more game (hopefully at Auburn :) ) to likely remain inside 75 - but it will be close. Even with a loss to Aurbun, a win over Vandy in the first round and a second round loss to Miss St/Mizzou they'd be around 74-75 in RPI.

Texas A&M now just has to win at home against Bama and they'll most likely stay as a Q1 win for us.

NC State needs to win 2 more games.

Georgia fell out of the Top 75, so while that that is now a Q2 loss. For them to get back as a Q1 game, they'd need to win 2 in the SECT (assuming they lose to us). Probably unlikely, and probably meaningless anyway.

2 more wins to be a Q1 win? Whatta u think NC St.'s chances of getting in the NCAA Tourney?

The game of most interest tonight is NC State to win at GT. NC State is given a 65% chance to win according to KenPom.

There are some other games which could help us, although not as likely.
UCF (30%) hosts Wichita State (help us out AJ Davis)
Tulane (10%) at Cincinnati

I know this is probably inconsequential, but MTSU is a good win for Auburn, so technically a loss tonight would ding their resume slightly.

NC State is safely in right now. If they were to lose 3 straight then they'd be on the bubble. Chances of that happening are slim

Thanks golf. I've always kind of liked NC St since Valvano and Lorenzo Charles caught that airball and dunked it, at the buzzer to win the Championship in '83 (I think). Man, that Houston team was loaded. Plus, I can't stand Duke and UNC.

Wisconsin was in the national championship game 3 years ago. They just tipped off versus Maryland in the Big 10 Tournament and at 14-17 will have to win it to play in any post season tournament this year.
