lol. No. We are a 4 at worst and maybe a 3 even with a loss

Not when Selection Sunday fell under a Harvest Moon with Mercury in retrograde

And is that the current status of the universe?

Harvest Moon is in the fall, so we’re just gonna have to pray to the nature spirits

Said it in the game thread, but Lunardi updated and UVA randomly passed Nebraska, Alabama and Gonzaga for the 3rd 3 seed. Without any of those teams playing games.

Seems like he always does that around this time, he’s probably scrubbing but the conspiracy is that he gets intel from the committee. Hopefully good news for us

You have to think he talked to somebody on the committee and realized where they had things

No other explanation for that right?

The other explanation was mentioned it the post (ā€œhe’s probably scrubbingā€œ). The counterargument to ā€œLunardi has intelā€ is that he never wins Bracket Matrix. But he might have intel…who knows?

So we’re a 4 then

I think so. Win and we probably would have been a 3. But we didn’t.

id be curious to know lunardis track record on random unprompted changes on the final weekend. feels very promising.

also have to think the committee would jump on the opportunity to match us with MSU

Played like a 3 tonight. Like our chances.

I switched over to the Big West title game, and on the halftime report they said that Lunardi says we’ll stay on the 3 line after our result. Not much confidence in him but hopefully he knows something

I don’t care what seed we are now. We had a really good ACC tourney and got our groove back a bit. That was most important.

He probably is, but… how the hell does Lunardi not scrub along the way, like lots of other bracketologists who have full-time jobs?

THIS IS HIS ENTIRE JOB

Was a joke in response to Lunardi giving us a 3.

I like Lunardi’s new bracket. Texas Tech is the only #5 seed I’d feel good about playing.

On the other hand, I don’t think any of the potential 5s are looking at brackets and saying I want to play Virginia.

I hope the bracketmakers don’t fall for the ā€œDuke was shortā€ shit, negating our play tonight. Can’t use that excuse when you’re redshirting a healthy five-star.

Bracket matrix did update one more time tonight, now with 111 brackets updated today. UVA is a 3 seed in 45 brackets (a 2 in 1), Nebraska a 3 in 79 (a 2 in 1), and Gonzaga a 3 in 91 (a 2 in 2). Vandy is popping up as a 3 in a few brackets, but I assume the majority don’t include today’s results.
