Lunardi has us as an 11 seed pig game vs Maryland.

Not a bad path.

Men's Bracketology: The numbers show it, Kansas is the best program in modern college basketball

Twenty-one years of history says Kansas' preseason No. 1 ranking -- and top overall seed designation -- should be a net positive for the Jayhawks.

Lunardi has gotten just about everything wrong about Syracuse.
He admits to this every year.
My prediction - I would be very surprised if there is a tournament. Or a "first four"

 

[syrBossHogg]

SU one of the last four byes

So if the rest of our games get postponed/cancelled can we just get in as a 10/11 seed at 6-1...just kidding (sort of)

 

[lindros2]

Why not penalize Gonzaga for missing games? Make them a 4-seed.
We've played seven games. We're on a Covid break. Chances of 64-team Tournament are about 50/50 (or less).
Repeat - Lunardi gets everything wrong about SU.

Gonzaga has looked the part. We’ve had close games vs. questionable competition. I’ve liked what I’ve seen from our squad, but I don’t blame people, with cursory knowledge of this team, for discounting the record.

The athletic has us as a 9 seed vs. Colorado with Villanova looming in the second round:

Bracket Watch: Picking a 68-team field with Gonzaga, Baylor, Kansas, Nova up top

We haven't really beaten anybody of note yet, just some mid-majors we think "could be pretty good'. And a down ACC may help us win game but not get a reputation.

We can run a 4 corners on the season. It worked for tOSU football.

Is winning a championship this year really noteworthy given all the postponements and absent quarantine d players. It seems like it would be a hollow victory scarred by unavoidable circumstances.

I think Alabama or Ohio State will be celebrating like it's noteworthy next week.

Any championship is noteworthy. People, who don’t matter mind you, will debate the accomplishment forever, but teams will have competed and a winner will be crowned.

Yes but it is certainly an asterisk season

Yes but it is certainly an asterisk season

Some might argue that navigating through the difficulties of this season might make the championship even more of an accomplishment. So, an asterisk may be required, but it’s meaning will be subjective.

I'll still see Joe Lunardi in Hell.

 

[SWC75]

The 2009 ESPN College basketball encyclopedia lists the "Top Ten Worst National Champions of All Time". We are #9 because we lost to Rutgers, (thank you, Herve Lamizana).

I called this into the Boeheim show and told him that I want us to own the whole list someday. He laughed and agreed.

 

[SWC75]

I'll still see Joe Lunardi in Hell.

Why would you be there?

 

[721Comstock]

Why would you be there?

He’s got dozens of folks waiting to meet him there.

Yes

I carry the mantle of some very specific responsibilities.

I think it is. The Lakers NBA title was 100% legit. Whoever wins the Super Bowl will be 100% legit. etc.

Hate the conclusion, but Love the acronym “PIG” game. OP, my compliments.

Projecting brackets right now with so many teams playing a different number of games is even more worthless than it normally is in early January.
