Lunardi Keeps KU #1 Seed after their loss

[NYCSUGrad]

How can anyone with the common sense of a six year old say a seven loss team is better than a three loss team, when both play in comparable leagues? Especially as many have pointed out that the three loss team lost two to number 5 and 12 in the country. Yes we have one very What loss at home. But that's a hallmark of college basketball. Look at all the upsets of even as high as 2 seeds in the tourney of late. One bad loss should not ruin a season.

What we've learned is that 25 game win streaks is less meaningful than losing 3 of 4 at some point.

I wish I got paid that kind of money to make up brackets all day.

I have some friends that follow the bracket stuff much closer than I do and lunardi is considered the joke amongst serious "tologists". Anyway, I wonder if there's ever been a 7 loss team as a no. 1 (or ranked this high).

Its a joke that we move off of the first line with a road loss to the #12 ranked team, with Kansas taking our spot, but that they retain their spot on the first line with a road loss to an unranked team, with their 7 losses to our 3.
