Bracketology Update: Joe Lunardi’s Updated Bracket #pcbb

Leave a comment

ESPN’s Joe Lunardi came out with his new bracket today and he has PC as a 12 seed in a First Round Play-in game in the Midwest bracket (Indianapolis) playing Oklahoma State. Lunardi currently has a total of 5 Big East teams in with SJU and PC in the last 4 in category and Georgetown in the next 4 out category. It looks like, depending on how this last couple weeks of the season go, the Big East could get as many as 6 in and as few as 3.

Lunardi lists PC’s chances as a coin toss right now to get into the NCAA tournament:

LAST FOUR IN
ODDS
FIRST FOUR OUT
ODDS
NEXT FOUR OUT
ODDS
St. John’s
55%
 Minnesota
40%
Oregon
35%
Providence
50%
Richmond
35%
Georgetown
35%
Tennessee
55%
Dayton
35%
Nebraska
30%
Oklahoma State
45%
Florida State
40%
Southern Miss
30%

LAST FOUR IN: These teams are being squeezed at both ends. They don’t want to be caught from behind, of course, but they also want to move up and secure a first-round bye. Dayton is their most likely destination.

In my opinion, the Friars need to get to 21 wins to dance. I’ll have a full Bracketology update on Thursday at noon as I do every week.
