FWIW Andy Katz says he thinks we will be in

[longislandcuse]

I'll tell you what, if we don't get in, the committee is going to have some answering to do. Pretty much everyone outside of Lunardi not only has us in, but safely in as the best of the bubble. It seems analyst momentum is on our side for whatever that's worth.

as a couple of us have expressed, Lunardi's movement of SU and Oregon St the past few days has been, well, odd ... he either knows something, is going against the grain just to garner more clicks/tweets/etc, or is just dumb

What did they say?

Does it even count? It's not Lunardi!

They didn't say much...which spoke volumes. They all just said they spoke prior and consensus was Cuse was in due to teams they beat and not much discussion was needed. All four agreed with no argument.

Lunardi is All In that Cuse won't be considered. I think it will be an "I told you so" if Cuse doesn't get in.

I think Lundardi works for the NCAA mafia.

One of my issues with Lunardi is the process he seems to go through.

He has his first bracket, what, early January? So he starts a team as say a 5 seed, then if they have a 0-3 week, he moves them down to an 8...and he does this for 2 months. I feel like Lunardi almost treats it as power rankings or something. I definitely don't get the feeling that every single he looks at resumes and re-seeds based on the new information.

100%, this is a problem when you have to do a bracket every week like he does.

What gives me pause...we should remember past NCAA snubs. I swear we were the First Team out 2-3 times in the past 20 years.

How would you possibly know that? No need to answer because you don't (none of us do). I believe, and it is certainly only a guess (but probably a good one) - Yukon needs to win.

The original poster was referring to the necessity of a Yukon and A&M win for RPI purposes. Any change in the RPI means less than zero right now.

Lunardi has made it clear the games JB missed dont matter to him. if you remove those we are not even on the bubble. but to ignore them as being a factor in the season is just wrong.

That just shows you his bias, if you don't think a hof coach missing 9 games isn't a factor, than you just don't understand bball.

any 11th hour updates from the St. Joe's douchnozzle?

If the 2007 team 10-6 in Big East and 22-10 overall doesn't get in, this team shouldn't get in.

just... wow

Because this year is the same as 2007. Smh

Really? You can't make this stuff up...

 

[Orange2389]

The NCAA owes us one. I want in!

I get the logic, i do...but the committee is making comparisons with current teams in the current landscape.

When you talk in terms of relativity, it's not completely unlike my post about the Louisville hooker that was banned for political correctness. Be careful, if a post with better logic than yours was banned today(regardless if I was sober when I made it...thanks steve holt for encouraging me to go get beer when I made the excuse of having none for being sober), it makes sense that yours may be next. Someone may be ravenous today.
