Lunardi is apparently still pissed about us absolutely smacking his undefeated St. Joe’s team at UD Arena 15 years ago.

Heard somewhere that Lunardi lost his full-time position at Hawk Hill with the new HC in charge.

One more ranking this morning from Goodman:

My bud Joe L. Nothing laughable about his bracket from my seat. Creighton is a 4 seed.

Georgetown is making the tournament and hopefully making a run

College Sports Madness does annual projection of top 144 teams over the summer. SJU makes BE's first appearance at #110. They're slotted at 9th in the conference, so one team sits outside 144 (probably DePaul).

I think #110 is fair, but I don't think we'll have a team outside Kenpom's top 144.
