29 overall seed is nice though, we were very safe for all the hand wringing haha 

 

So, one off being a seven seed, and the team at 28 is Dayton.

We're the type of team that can't afford to take anyone lightly so it works

You’ll never guess who the women are matched up with!

[HuskerBB]

Women matched up against Texas A&M in the first round also

Thinking Michigan State might be out ?

 

I was wrong they got in at a 9 seed.   Personally I am glad they got in and think they deserve it.

 

 

I had hoped they'd have to be in the First Four as a 10-seed again (after 2020's 15-12 record resulted in being in Dayton too -- lol) 

 

The Spartans always seem to get the benefit of the doubt with their 26 consecutive Big Dances under Tom Izzo.

 

Must be nice.

Just based on the reactions from the men and women teams...this is personal. Bring it on.

Palm’s brackets drove me nuts the last couple months. Just put some effort into it, guy.

I cut DeCoursey some slack, since his real job is reporting. Palm and Lunardi, on the other hand, get paid to be utter failures.

I've been telling my bro this these past several weeks... Lunardi sucks at his job. He'd say, he gets them right. And I say, welllll, he's fed the info at the last min. so how accurate are his seedings... and he'd tell me, he'll get all 68 in the field, that's so hard to do. And, I'll say, really, that's not the hardest part. I feel like this is Seinfeld and Kramer having a convo at this point... lol

I've always had a fear that we would get our first win in the play-in round. I don't want it to happen that way! Unless we win in the first round, too.

 

YES! Heck, I really want a Final Four run to #PHX! LET'S GO, BIG RED!!

 

A bucket list item to have good seats at a #Final4 and to do it in Phoenix would be fun as heck!!!

I have to work in the land of "gurus" and all of them are a bunch of hustling frauds. Their one skills seems to be detecting the most gullible person in the room and then working them over.

Briefly he had my hopes up.... NU in Omaha, but I knew it was crapshoot, unless ISU got a 1, which UNC had it locked up. Turns out Tenn. had the next dibs anyway. It's fun to dream... lol

 

[hhcmatt]

I'll certainly give credit to Lunardi for being the John Naismith of bracketology. Naismith is the worst coach in Kansas basketball history in winning percentage, btw, going 55-60.

Lunardi is excellent at his job. He's not hired to be the most accurate, he's hired to get the most clicks. And everyone falls for it. ESPN wins.

Yeah, I generally don't watch e$ECpn, but the masses lap it up, for sure. That's a true story... Lunardi's a lunatic. lol

Man, I wish NU had such a dishonorable thing such as the father of basketball disrespecting its time-honored program like KU... I'd imagine 55-60 is top 8 at NU, lol.
