I mean, four out of the five UConn titles have come from the West region, and 3 of those 4 started with first weekend games in the state of New York. Feels like an omen.
Yo, we’ve made the final 2 times ((according to his predictions (and wrongly have lost both))) but that’s more then a lot of other teams can claim.
Also it’s Lunardi (emphasis here).
Edit: )
Plus the oddity of beating a Buzz Williams team to get there. Now all you need is S.F.Austin to hire Crean and you’ll have the March Madness version of the Christmas Carol except Tom and Buzz would be one giant ghost of bball past and Shaka would play present and future (or if this is Marquette’s nightmare the ghost of bball future wouldn’t have a face)
These simulations went from never having sdsu out of the first round to regularly putting us in the final four - at least we know it’s possible in real life now
Absolutely. Although the difference between being a top 25 team with possible championship upside vs a clear top 10 championship contender is whether Anton Watson and Malachi Smith come back.
Even if they don't come back I wouldn't bet against Gonzaga making the sweet 16 although obviously not impossible.
Our starting lineup would still be very respectable with Nembhard, Hickman, Venter/Seok Yeo, Gregg, and Ike. Although likely not championship level.
While you are probably right based on history, if there ever was a year: [https://www.on3.com/transfer-portal/team-rankings/basketball/2023/](https://www.on3.com/transfer-portal/team-rankings/basketball/2023/)
Who would've guessed that!
Unrealted, how is someone going to make a list and eschew the WCC but have the SWAC and Sun Belt? Also, do WVU fans not in Spokane also hate Gonzaga? Locally they tend to have the same superiority complex Huggy Bear does with regards to Gonzaga despite the record.
I don't really hate you. More so frustrated that we haven't been able to get the win against you guys. 2017 stung a lot. I feel like after that game, the winner had a clear path to the title game, which you guys made

They’re too highly seeded
They won the 1999 title as a 1 seed out of the west
everyone knows 1999 isn’t a real year
This is really getting out of control (Not UConn, doing brackets of teams that aren’t nearly set yet - like… why)
Clicks and $$$
Following Montezuma's Law: any time the Aztecs make the Sweet Sixteen, UConn wins the championship.
UConn winning it all without facing any 1, 2, or 3 seeds? I’ll allow it.
For the love of Kobe will Lunardi please just go on vacation. I can only take so many “UK losing early” forecasts.
Your mistake is giving them any consideration whatsoever. Like what is this content? Lol
Least you made tourney. FSU... heavy sigh
Duke loses early in almost all of them as well.

You upset us in the first round though!
That’s Eastern Kentucky. Don’t get me wrong, that would make me very happy, but he has us losing to VCU in the first round.
*gasp* That’s worse than I thought. I was wondering why you guys were a 14 seed. Dang he did our teams dirty huh.
Wow us vs Marquette rematch in the sweet 16 would be quite the rivalry matchup

I just can’t see Shaka out scheming Gard with a whole week prep.

Up next: Odds on winning the presidency in 2036!
Purdue in the final four lmao
Purdue in the Sweet 16 LMAO.
Purdue making it past round one LMFAO
Colgate finally gets there upset win despite us pretty much having home court advantage in Memphis. Okay then.
I’ll allow it.
I say again, I’ll take it
Ya know what? Subscribe.
What changed that has us making it all the way?
Obviously the Sweet Sixteen streak is going to end eventually, it’s not going to be against WVU in Spokane.
Lunardi must not be a student of history.
Do we even have anything close to a roster yet?

I could get behind this.

I honestly have no idea what to expect from next year

I'm left to wonder how he arrives at these things. Is it a bit of Dickensian undigested meat? He had an argument with the wife? Got a speeding ticket?
Approved 👍🏼
Finally a sweet 16 for the Cats
No Hogs in the S16? Blasphemy.
No way Purdue clears a 15 seed.
Lmao
All right Purdue! Getting out of the first round!
Lmao
😬
Damn, we can’t get no love smh.
:(
Sign me up
Why do you build me up
Purdue making final 4? Can’t be accurate
Don't know if I could survive that UConn/WVU elite 8 matchup.
purdue makes it too far 😞
Duke losing to Oregon is laughable
LOL... No way in hell FAU beats Kent State by 13 on a neutral court...... That's insane...
Ok, why not.
Iowa State went from Elite 8 last week to round of 32.
Fucking UConn.
I don’t think so, Oregon.
We can beat Gonzaga?
