Not only are we in

the human head weighs 8 pounds

Should I ask what methods you used to determine this?

 

[Knicks411]

What is the 88%?

BPI says we're 88% to make the tournament. Apparently

Lunatic is a clown. If he's in the top half of the "prognosticators" I'd be surprised.

Does he have any quad 1 prognostications?

Just walk away.

A 12% chance of disappointment is still too high for my liking lol

 

[oTTo113445]

They should reward all the 12 seeds and under a bye. Double up 49-64 and let them have a play-in lottery with one of those shiny copper metal post-card spinning things. Lunardi can predict what cards come up.
Miami beat clemson today had that been the dookies nobody would of been suprised.

Not to be Debbie Downer, and apologies if it has been posted here, but we have to hope this doesn't drop NC State from 68 to 76 or higher in the NET rankings.

If it does, we lose our only Q1 win.

Until we beat UVa tomorrow.

im not super familar with net but i find it unlikely losing to a team above you on a neutral floor will move nc state that much

 

[Madbiker]

At this point I think Lunardi does the snub Syracuse thing as a schtick. It gets him clicks. It get him media attention. He's an old eastern basketball guy (going back pre Big East) from Philly and likely never liked Cuse.

Oh, I agree.

I was just saying it was not outside the realm of possibility (not knowing the exact formula for calculating the NET rankings).

I would usually agree, but lunardi was almost perfect for teams in last tournament and did pretty solid on seeding:

Here's How Many Teams Joe Lunardi Got Right In Bracketology This Year | The Spun: What's Trending In The Sports World Today

In previous years I think he wasn't as successful.

He did amazing for him. Almost made it to the top 10 on the bracket matrix. I don’t believe he has ever done this.

He is ranked 55th out of 133 for the past 5 years. Given the resources at his disposal, I think this is awful. Almost every other person does this for fun, as a minor hobby. This is Joe’s primary focus in life.

Him acting like he is good at this but has this weird weakness only with Syracuse is baloney. He is crappy at this. He should become a garbage man. He has a higher ceiling in that profession.

How did Louisville beat this duke team twice.

 

[hoopsupstate]

Duke is packing it in and not allowing Louisville’s guard to drive. He just dominated Duke in their last game.

 

[STEVEHOLT]

Anyone know how the other projections have us looking ?

not enough precincts reporting to make a call

What’s the point spread against UVA? SU plus 6

 

[dasher]

well, he IS a fantastic coach and by all accounts one of the classiest coaches in a sport filled with scumbags.

yeah, but other than that

 

[PauliePeppas]

We would have smacked lville both times ughh

 

[Ragman2000]

Who are we rooting for here, Duke right? Feels gross.

neither im pretending there isnt a game on

 

[upperdeck]

Lou is falling out, so why root for Duke.

Opened at +5.5 for ‘Cuse. Now sitting at 5.

 

[CarolinaCuse]

I call this Ode to March 2021

Syracuse bubble
Edwards anchors the middle
Boeheim for three, pop

 

[sugrad68]

Xavier just lost and we will pass them. Louisville will lose and we should pass them. Looking good.

 

[CousCuse]

The Orange are playing like 2nd weekend team, at least. Some of these other teams look bad.

Virginia gets us in. Otherwise, there will be a couple upsets in conference tournanents and we'll be outside looking in. When we shoot like that, and hold our own on the boards, we can play with anybody.

I'm really glad to see him playing Edwards, Braswell and Richmond (health permitting) during this recent stretch. I think that makes us a much more athletic and dangerous team, Hell of a game for Buddy today! Hope he brings it again tomorrow!
