Lunardi's very early Saturday morning updated brackets

[California Panther]

Pitt still the 3rd of the last 4 in.

11 Pitt vs 11 Vandy in Dayton play-in game, winner gets Iowa in St Louis, then probably Xavier in sweet 16

People win, people lose and they move up or down, but he seems to keep pushing Pitt towards the cut line

But again, he is only #36 among bracketologists, but he's the one who gets the most air time, so that's that

I told you, he said Pitt was most likely out on espn radio here in LA yesterday towards the end of the UNC game when we started getting killed. He bashed us.

This is his way of looking "smart" by slowly sending Pitt off the bracket. Again kept bashing Jamie;s RPI manipulation and OOC Schedule. Sigh, who knows...

Andy Bottoms is supposedly one of the best at bracketology. Look at the comments below the bracket. He thinks Pitt is safe, and a #9.

This bracket makes infinitely more sense than Lunardi's. This is before yesterday's games too, so you will see a lot of movement among the teams below us...the only one who could pass Pitt would be Uconn.

It is funny how even before Vanderbilt, St Bona, Cincy, etc all lost he had them all below Pitt, and in Vandy's case, like 10 teams below Pitt, but somehow Lunardi managed to keep all those teams above Pitt even though they lost.

Lunardi has an agenda of some kind...that is really the only explanation I can think of.

Lunardi doesnt like Pitt. That's pretty clear. Honestly, I think his for today is for Mich to win and something else to happen so he can push Pitt out. Mark my words. He doesnt like Jamie's RPI gaming and he is sending him a message.

This RPI Gaming thing is highly annoying. We scheduled 3 NCAA quality teams in the non-conference, and 2 of them were on a neutral court.

 

[UPitt129]

It is not Lunardi who is pushing Pitt towards the cut line. It is UConn winning. It is Michigan winning. It is the bubble teams rising up and taking spots. Again, we made our bed. We had some bad luck in playing probably the best team in the nation in our 2nd ACC game, but to be honest, if we didn't go 0 fer forever from 3 point land against two mediocre teams and lost both games down the stretch, we could have avoided that.

So we are where we are because of Pitt and because of college basketball. Not Joe Lunardi. Learn this and stop whining and blaming him. Buncha babies.

Good lord.

Once again, lunardi is one of the few that has pitt this low. I will say it, like with poker, those latching onto lunardi' overly negative view are the same tgat are constantly negative and bashing the team on here.

I.e., they have an agenda, like lunardi apparently does.

The only other person who talks about RPI more than Jamie IS Lunardi. As a coach, why in the **** would you bring up RPI in press conferences? It's a freaking joke and I'm tired of it too.

 

[bobfree]

Yep. Joe lunardi has finally acheived his life's goal as to put Pitt on the final four in list. All of the work he has put in has finally given him the opportunity to "push his agenda" and stick it to Pitt.

He has an opinion he has us in as a bubble team. We are a bubble team. Cmon

This leads to my question. Why in God's name would anyone, knowing that there are multiple games being played and about to be played, put out updated brackets over and over again in a short time? Lunardi is nothing but a total media hog. And you are right in calling out fans who get upset or who obsess over these brackets that are in effect only opinions of individuals. Though I wouldn't call them babies. Whiners and blamers will do.

By the way, didn't this anti Pitt guy have Pitt as a #1 seed a couple of times in the past?

 

[Piranha]

Bracket Matrix has us as a #10 seed on avg, and that seems fair.
