How’d our boy Lunardi do?

Missed 2, which puts him in the middle of the pack (as always, as he's not very good at this): http://www.bracketmatrix.com/

It used to be a lot more fun to watch that site because there was some diversity of opinion, now it seems like a circlejerk.
His biggest error every year is his insistence on moving teams up and down based on every win or loss. Case in point this week when he would update his bracket multiple times each day in reaction to a UNC loss or a Texas win or whatever. Dan Gavitt basically called him out without saying his name during an interview the other day when he talked about the mandate the committee had to focus on “body of work” not just one game that represents 3% of a team’s resume.

I think that's intentional to generate clicks.

I didn't get how he moved UNC 3 spots for losing by 1 to Duke. I never would have had them in but losing by 1, even without Flagg to arguably the best team shouldn't cause any movement down.

Joe Lunardi looks like he opens cans of baked beans everyday with his teeth. The fact that him and Dookie V are crammed down our throats constantly on ESPN really takes away from my enjoyment of March college hoops, which is probably my favorite time of year as we creep up on the Masters. I had to mute the Duke / Louisville ACCTCG the other night. It was cringe. It kills the product.

It's absolutely done to generate clicks. If people see that what he posted on Friday was the same thing he posted on Thursday, they are going to stop clicking every day. So something has to change every time he does it. Whether it makes sense or not.

He also had North Carolina ahead of Boise, and then Carolina lost to Duke and he moved Boise ahead of them, and said that even if Boise lost to Colorado State they would still be ahead. So in his world, a loss to one of the top two teams in the country was somehow more damaging than losing to a Colorado State team that needed to win it's conference tournament just to get into the field.

Someone who spends as much time thinking about this as he does shouldn't be nearly as clueless as he makes himself out to be.
