1 thing that's amazing in Lunardi's latest bracket, the MWC champ, Colorado St is listed as a 15 seed. It's remarkable how putrid that conference has gotten- and that's with Fischer still at San Diego St. Imagine what it's going to be like when he is gone.

I keep seeing Xavier matched with Louisville in the 2-7 or 3-6 seed games. I don't want Xavier to be a 7 seed but if it comes to it I think Louisville would be the best case. Also gotta make up for what happened in last years 2-7 seed game

thing is like in Lunardi's bracket today, they would have to get to Louisville first. Pretty insane 7/10 game with them and Michigan St 1st round. If you had said 2 months ago that was a sweet 16 or even elite 8 game, I don't think folks would have argued much at all.

If Butler does happen to match up with Belmont, I guarantee Belmont over Butler will be this year's "sexy" upset pick by all of the national pundits. The national media gives Belmont handies under the table every year despite their 0-7 NCAA Tournament record.

I hoped the win over Creighton would've given the Hall a little more movement, being the new best win on their resume. The reaction seems to be the biggest positive is the fact that they didn't lose. Mo Watson or not, the Jays are still a good team and when their shots are falling like they were last night they're tough to beat. It's starting to look like a 3-0 week is the only way to get the Pirates off of the 1st 4 line, even just temporarily.

I'm of the opinion that after the BET, CU, BU, and XU will all be in the 7-9 range. I hope that I am wrong.
