DD3 Posted March 10, 2014 Share Posted March 10, 2014 Lunardi keeps us as a #5 seed. Has us in the East regional, with opening round games in San Diego. He seems consistently to place SLU out west. http://espn.go.com/mens-college-basketball/bracketology Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bills By 40 Posted March 10, 2014 Share Posted March 10, 2014 Bummer for travel but for those of us that are going no matter what, I'm pumped to spend my mini-spring break in San Diego watching elite college basketball. Literally nothing could be better. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DD3 Posted March 10, 2014 Author Share Posted March 10, 2014 He has Dayton and St. Joe's in his "Last Four In" with a total of 6 A-10 teams (and 3 from the Big East). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dwayne's_World Posted March 10, 2014 Share Posted March 10, 2014 Ugh Louisville would be the 4 seed in that bracket... If we win the A10 tourney we can still a 4 seed, though there really isn't much of a difference Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ACE Posted March 10, 2014 Share Posted March 10, 2014 He has Dayton and St. Joe's in his "Last Four In" with a total of 6 A-10 teams (and 3 from the Big East). Six would be awesome, but I think it is unlikely BOTH Dayton and St. Joe's get in. Tenn. and Arkansas also on the last four in, so the SEC is in danger of having as few as two teams. Great year for the A-10 especially considering the offseason defections, but maybe the Valley is still the place for us. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Great year for the A-10 especially considering the offseason defections, but maybe the Valley is still the place for us. I'm pretty sure that if asked about it, Lunardi would tell you that "as of right now" both are in but would acknowledge that when they play each other in the 4/5 game one will have to lose and thus be bumped out. I remember his saying similar things in past years for teams that were in the Last Four in and were going to play each other. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hsmith19 Posted March 10, 2014 Share Posted March 10, 2014 San Diego and Louisville in the second round? Hard to imagine much worse of a draw, barring a seed lower than 7. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I remember his saying similar things in past years for teams that were in the Last Four in and were going to play each other. Saint Joe's had a chance for a share of the league title right up until we won yesterday. Dayton has the higher RPI and more impressive OOC wins. I'm not sure which scenario you're talking about last year, but it seems possible both make it in this year (especially if one of the two ends up in the A-10 tourney final).

I'm not sure which scenario you're talking about last year, but it seems possible both make it in this year (especially if one of the two ends up in the A-10 tourney final). If Dayton wins their first game and then loses to ST. Joes, their RPI will drop to about 44. If St. Joes loses its first game to Dayton, their RPI will drop to about 54 (per RPIforecast) and they'd be on a 3 game losing streak. I don't see either team getting in with those numbers but would agree that Dayton losing that game at least opens up the possibility of them getting a 6th bid.
