Lunardi Updates Bracketology

No major conference came through the draft testing process in better shape. For every Kevin Huerter (Maryland) and Tony Carr (Penn State), there are plenty of high-level returnees. Purdue (Nojel Eastern and Carsen Edwards) and Nebraska (Isaac Copeland Jr. and James Palmer Jr.) were doubly fortunate, and Michigan State (Nick Ward), Michigan (Charles Matthews), Wisconsin (Ethan Happ) and Indiana (Juwan Morgan) received similarly good news.

Speaking of the Hoosiers, there is also the not-so-small matter of 6-foot-6 incoming freshman Romeo Langford. The country's top uncommitted recruit heading into the offseason, Langford's presence in crimson and cream accelerates Archie Miller's rebuilding project and should be enough for Indiana to hear its name called on Selection Sunday.

He has us as a 9 seed in Duke and Kentucky's region.

He's an idiot.  The NCAA committee doesn't allow regular season rematches until the Sweet 16.  We obviously play Duke this season.

They changed that a few years ago actually...

Rules regarding rematches of non-conference regular-season games have also been relaxed; those rematches will now be allowed in the round of 32.

Don't have to go far to verify that. Purdue played Butler in the round of 32 this year.

I hate hate hate that they always put us in Kentucky's bracket.  Like there is no other way for us to advance unless we pass Kentucky first.  I get it, its a marque match-up for TV but come on.  We're tied at the hip with them.

Relax, it is all speculation and conjecture at this point.

I rather play them when it counts.  We should be their yearly curse until they come back to the Hall!

yeah i know, i get it.  But the committee is more worried about good matchup instead of who really belong on what seed and in what location.  A few years ago there was some moving around for us to play Kentucky, OSU to play OU, and a few others.  This is the crap i hate to see in the tourney.
