I'm a UNM fan, but I can tell you that they're peaking at the right time ...they might be the best in the MWC right now; they're easily better than UNLV, and I wouldn't be surprised if they beat BYU tonight on the road.

For example, he had them in as a 6 seed on Jan. 18 after they had lost three in a row and had no quality wins on their resume whatsoever. For every loss the Huskies had in January, he just knocked them down a seed line, which was ridiculous at that point in the season. He finally took UConn out of his bracket two weeks too late, and now, when they are back on the bubble, he's been all sorts of wishy-washy about their status. On ESPN over the weekend, he said they needed four more wins to get a bid, and now after beating WVU (that's one win, not four) he makes headlines on ESPN.com (and gets Scott Van Pelt all excited..."Joey Brackets!!") for having the Huskies "back in." <br /><br />We haven't flip-flopped on the Huskies at all. We had them out when they should have been out early in the year, and this week we projected them to make the field before the WVU win. Lunari's been a day late and a dollar short on UConn all year; we've been pretty spot on.Bracketology 101https://www.blogger.com/profile/01277396896660963269noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9072987.post-50908027313014019902010-02-23T16:03:33.966-05:002010-02-23T16:03:33.966-05:00whichever 1 gets uconn as an 8/9 isn't going t...whichever 1 gets uconn as an 8/9 isn't going to be happy. i wish they would stiff kentucky with that match-up but i think they can't because of the previous match-up this year.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9072987.post-89323761535237461302010-02-23T15:44:11.653-05:002010-02-23T15:44:11.653-05:00If UConn wins out and wins the Big East tourney, t...If UConn wins out and wins the Big East tourney, they'll be in the 5-6 range (the Syracuse example is a good comparison.)
