Not that it means anything this early, but Lunardi has us as runner up, losing to Alabama in the title game in his preseason bracketology. And, he has us beating Arizona to get to the elite 8 🤣

I can't believe the disrespect! No faith in Daddy Brad! How could he not realize that this is a FF team. I can't .......Oh wait. I have always respected the way that Lunardi as done his job so professionally. He obviously has put much thought and preparation into his efforts. I hear that he also got a cat out of a tree yesterday afternoon. Nice guy. :p

So in other words, Lunardi hit us on his random dart board. That guy has a sweet gig - make up a bunch of guesses for the bracket and get paid for it. I'd do that for a lot less than what he's likely being paid.

(I'll be consistent with what I say about Lunardi. I've long been on record as saying I think he's a gigantic doofus.)

That's just some guy using Lunardi's projected first round matchups and filling out the rest of the bracket by himself.

I like the way Some Guy thinks. Except for the part where we don't win it all.

I have signed up on msg.com for early notification when tickets become available. I will also be scouring this site for notification of tickets going on sale. I'm really hoping for a perfect storm here, lol. While I have a place to stay, I'm really hoping that tickets are reasonable as I'll likely be buying 4-5 of them, and that I can get reasonable flights in/out of NYC within 3-4 days on either side of the actual game. Not much to ask.... is it??? :unsure:

Rotation Prediction as we sit here in late August:
Starters:
Boswell (30 minutes)
KJ (29 minutes)
Tre White (23 minutes)
Ben Humrichous (23 minutes)
Morez Johnson (15 minutes)

Bench:
Will Riley (21 minutes)
Ty Rodgers (17 minutes)
Carey Booth (16 minutes)
Tomislav Ivisic (14 minutes)
DGL (11 minutes)

Jason redshirt and Jake Davis will play spot minutes if we need shooting

I do think towards the end of the year the three freshman minutes could go up. Out of the vets, I think Boswell Ben and Tre will play the most overall. Also think Carey Booth will surprise a lot of people this year and be in line for a massive role as a junior.

Think Ivisic and Morez is a coin flip right now. I would guess we see both start at separate points this season.

I got about the same mins on most guys. Sadly, I'm figuring Tomislav's mins start at zero and possibly stay there for a while though. More significantly, I have Will Riley getting the start and a slight mins edge over Tre White. This will come down to who can score. Hopefully, these guys listen to Ty and realize that winning is more important than starting. I have three guys scoring in double-figures: Kasparas, Will, and Morez in that order.
