smh Boise has some bad losses and really not any great wins. And La Salle lost to Central freakin Connecticut also got beat by UMASS and Xavier two teams that we beat.

I agree. Unless La Salle beats Butler I think we are def in ahead of them and Boise State.

La Salle already lost to Butler by almost 20. It's like Lunardi doesn't even watch the games.

That's what I think, it's all about the Benjamin's.

I don't like Lunardi either, but unless MTSU does their own version of a tourney cave to pressure (and they did so in their own tourney), them at their best, this year, beats us the way we played today or yesterday.

I think we're better than LaSalle, St. Mary's, and a handful of other teams he has in, but I'm awfully afraid the selection committee will agree with him. We better be rooting hard for all the other bubble teams to get hammered in any remaining games, if we are to have any legit chance of avoiding the shaft.

EDIT: What P.O.'s me the most about Lunardi's, ahem, personal opinion, is that he only thinks FL and Mizzou are good enough, and that KY gets in based on the name on their jersey. In other words, he just thinks the SEC stinks and only really deserves to get 2 teams in, but KY will benefit from their name. My fear is that this is the national perception, and that perception often counts more than hard stats like schedule strength or RPI.

That's what I'm afraid of. Maybe we'll get lucky and have some of the other pieces fall our way, but I'm not going to hold our breath.

On the bright side, HOW ABOUT THAT RECRUITING!

SOMEONE ANYONE TELL ME WHY TENNESSEE SHOULDN'T GET IN
