Joe Lunardi

Is a complete joke I hope vol twitter lights him up. He literally said on national television that the head to head match ups didn’t matter between Kentucky and auburn. That they’ve been ahead of us all year so that went into the decision also of making us a 3 seed.
How’s that our faults? What should the polls matter? Have they watched the last month?…
I hope this lights a fire under this team and we make the run this year.!!!

I honestly think we aren't respected as much because of our propensity for 1st or 2nd round exits. If that changes this year, maybe it'll stop it.

Also worth noting Lunardi isn't the selection committee, and he was right, as much as we hate it. We need to pissed at the selection committee, not Lunardi, that is, unless they are picking teams based on his bracketology, which would just be F'd up.

Unfortunately, Joe Lunardi was right in his prediction of what the committee would seed us.

I don't think it was a prediction, I think he already knew what we did today didn't matter from his "insider information".

Joe was given that information long before 6PM EST. He's just the messenger. The blame lies with the committee. It's like blaming Wolken for us trying to hire Schiano.

It 100% was not a prediction and very little of his stuff is.

Let me decipher this for you all.

"Tennessee should have been a 2 seed but I have to be nice to the Committee who feed me info all year for my content and mock brackets."

This is Dan Wolken 2.0

Auburn and UK games were there too right Joe?

 

[orangejuice]

So it matters that Villanova beat us but it doesn’t matter that we beat UK and Auburn. Got it

What he said was dumb but also the conviction he said it with made me realize he isnt predicting. He is getting a source leaking the information. So he essentially is more of a reporter than a guesstimater or prediction analyst.

Guys this is some straight crap. Like did the committee even watch the last month of basketball?? Or does it even matter to them they are gonna feed their blue bloods and give them easy routes man..
such a sweet day turned sour bc of the ncaa.

The only consistent thing with the Selection Committee is inconsistency.

Would you want to feel the wrath of Vol Twitter?

Lunardi’s “analytics” are just info leaked from moles on the committee? That would be hilarious.

 

[Volstylexx]

so the same guy who told us head to head games against KY and AU didn’t matter… is telling us the head to head against Villanova did?? OK.

They are consistent. If you are Duke, Kansas, and UK, you get it as easy as possible. If not, you are going to get shafted.

That quote won't stop Vol Twitter from virtually drawing and quartering Joe.

There's limited predicting involved for Lunardi. He hasn't been a "bracketologist" for the past decade but a reporter.

 

[BreatheUT]

I'm trying to figure out why Lunardi matters to people? Correct me if I'm wrong but he's not on the NCAA tournament committee. The committee are the idiots that got it wrong.

Yea this is true..but since the ncaa hides behind joe we have no choice but to give him crap lol

As an organization, the NCAA makes a bulk of its money from March Madness, not football.

UK = $$$, Kansas = $$$, Duke and Coach K = $$$
