Why worry

[SBU72]

Lunardi has SU as a 9th seed versus Colorado in the Mid-west region. (http://espn.go.com/mens-college-basketball/bracketology), Could losing in the first round of ACCT really knock SU out? How many upsets in Mid majors would push them out? On another note, how can St. Bona in a 3 way tie for 1st place in A10 be on the bubble? RPI 29. BPI 71 (SU 69) 1 win in Brooklyn should firmly put them in.

another first round loss in ACCT is a major problem imo.

Lunardi says that Syracuse is at risk of missing the tournament or being in the play in game if they lose to Pitt.

Part of me really what's to change that "if" to "when"..

If they lost to Pitt for a 3rd time best case scenario is Dayton play in game. If they beat Pitt it's lock city.

Bonnies and Cuse should be flipped in Lunardi's bracket. Bonnies should be a lock for a tourney berth...Co A-10 champs, won 10 of their last 11. Unless they get shellacked in the A-10 tourney, they should be an 8-10 seed. Cuse on the other hand needs to beat Pitt inorder to get in.

As much as I'd hate being in the dreaded play in game, I would take it over the alternative NIT. I believe the past couple of years, play in teams have been able to advance some...I'm certain that G & Cooney would likely have no real interest in playing in the consolation tournament.

VCU made the final four from the play in game. You've got to be in it to win it. Just get us in.

I would take the play in game if we lost to Pitt, my fear is not even getting that.

I don't understand why people view Lunardi as infallible. And besides these predictions change every day. I feel pretty strongly that SU is out if we lose to Pitt regardless of whether there are a lot of tourney upsets. And the only way we'll get to a 9 seed is if we win two games in the ACCT.
