New Bracketology Released

Joe Lunardi has released his newest Bracketology and as expected, the Cards are solidly in the field as an 8 seed and the Cats still holding strong at a 1 seed. Lunardi has Louisville playing in the West region, playing the 9th seeded Northern Iowa Panthers. If the Cards were to win, they would most likely face the top seeded Duke Blue Devils (please, please, give me this draw)

The Cats are still slated to be tops in the East region and barring the biggest upset in sports history, face the winner of Notre Dame and Oklahoma State. The obvious storyline there would be the potential match-up of Travis Ford against his Alma mater, which I’m sure he’s stoked about.

The four number 1 seeds are Syracuse, Kansas, Kentucky, and Duke. In reality, the first three should be locks on the top line. With the Dukies dismantling of the incredibly awful North Carolina Tar Heels, they would seem to have the best shot at securing the fourth top seed.

By the way, UNC is coming off a National Title, has seven McDonald’s All-Americans, and they are 16-15, including 5-11 in the mediocre ACC. Roy Williams is getting off very light in terms of media coverage/criticism, but I guess you get the benefit of the doubt if you have the rings.
