they have virtually the same resume now vs this time in 2023 where they had their infamous preseason number one to no tourney season + much weaker bubble this year
though if i had to bet on it they can’t afford to lose another regular season game like other bubble teams can
No one will ever admit it but the only reason they’re still on the bubble is because of their brand
Lunardi is a nice enough guy, I like that he gets ESPN talking College Basketball, but when it comes to projecting the field, he doesnt have a great track record.

I’d suggest using ctrl+F “Lunardi” to save you some scrolling.
I do like that he’s got eight Big 12 teams in the Tournament. Let’s hope he’s right.
It is, but it’s teetering. We are on the cusp of dropping a Q level in some of our games.
BYU and Baylor, both home wins are sitting at 29 and 30.
K-State, a road win, is sitting at 74
Utah at 72 and TCU is sitting at 75 and could drop down to a Q3 wins.
SDSU sits at 49 and could become a Q2 loss.
A few wins by the right schools at the right time could strengthen our numbers, UCF being a good example.
Rick Pitino proving once again what a great coach he is. Watch out for St. John’s.
I just don’t think they have enough offense.
Pomeroy has them outside of the top 75 on offense. Don’t think that will get it done in March.
The older i get, the more i just wanna see all chalk in the NCAA tournament
The top 16 teams (thrown in Missouri, Maryland), have separated themselves.
The regular season is such a grind, i wanna see the best teams advance in March. But i know it wont happen.
9 seed Gonzaga gonna pull an upset. 7 seed Memphis to the Sweet 16
So what the bear out pretty consistently is that most folks agree with you overall, we want Cinderella up to about the Elite 8 to that point they are a fun story everyone gets behind. But at 8 and beyond the ratings decline because people start wanting to see the (just examples) KU v Duke’s, this year Auburn’s vs another elite team, etc.
@1985coog right. The Womens NCAA tournament there’s very few upsets
1s & 2 seeds advance.
But their Final Four, they get good ratings, cause their best teams/players are there
The only upsets ill root for, will be our bracket
I for one loved Yale beating Auburn last year.
I don’t understand the thirst for a McDonald’s, Burger King, Wendy’s, and Sonic Final Four.
Let’s go Cream Burger!
@HWSCoog well it certainly made UCONNs path to the Final Four alot easier, Auburn losing 1st round
Everyone can have their opinion on upsets. But thats just view.
If we’re a two seed I want in Auburn’s bracket. They can take the pressure and have to worry about us. We can beat them. Plus we play better at even or underdog.
I’m sorry Mrs. Jackson. I am for real.
Yeah Yale vs. Auburn happened at the time we love the chaos of March Madness. That first weekend.
Funk wants all the smoke! lol
Personally I’d rather not see them til the title game but I respect it.
As it stands now, this is your race for the last 2 # 1s, and the best # 2 (who will avoid the Auburn bracket)
If you look at Houston from a pure data standpoint, the Coogs are a 1seed.
6 teams are really deserving of #1 seed. I know for sure no #1 seed wants to see us in their region though
though the noncon wab number sticks like an eyesore its a bit impressive we even have a shout for the 1 line and on track to win the big 12 with more room to spare than last year after the start we had lmao
