Lunardi has us out of latest bracketology

[orangefan13]

Dude, we just don't know yet. Even Boeheim said they weren't a good team last season. We lost our best player and on paper, to me, we are mediocre at best. That doesn't mean we will be bad nor does it mean we will be good. We just don't know. It isn't rocket science why analysts aren't high on this team, duh.

I agree the season needs to be played.

When bubble time comes if we have 9-11 losses will we all say we don't belong in the tournament or will we believe in this team?

So Lunardi's predicted that there's nary a chance
that this year the Orange will be seen at the Dance
The pre season brackets are strictly for fun
to think they will hold up would be pretty dumb

We're under the radar as the season gets started
McCullough and Buss, CJ, and Rak have departed
We've got some new faces that will not be boring
and these kids are set for high octane scoring!

The top 25 I'm sure we will crack it
and about the same time we'll appear in that Bracket
We can watch every week as our ranking is rising
and the 'Cuse will be dubbed as very surprising

But for all that are Orange it just stands to reason
That the 'Cuse is is just poised for an outstanding season
So, not currently ranked and outside of the Bracket
Just because Joe thinks that the 'Cuse will not hack it

We'll start our season and play the games
while kicking a$$ and taking names
By March his bracket may be well worth reading
and I'll bet the Cuse will have a decent seeding

Sending to my SU fan friends. Excellent work, and so early in the season!

I'd personally love to see them have 9-11 losses, lose some early games but improve which is rare for SU, and be in the Tourney but dangerous like a Michigan St.

That is legit. DC staying healthy is so important, and less of Cooney means the development of guys like Joseph and Howard. If they take minutes from Cooney, they will have to earn it and that means good things for this team.
