Lunardi's Latest Bracketology
- Thread starter tOSUGrad90
- Start date
Losing to State Penn didn't prove that I was right. Ped. State shot 11-14 from deep, and banked-in a 35-foot prayer at the buzzer to win the Game. Couple that with Ohio State's best players being in foul trouble, and you get an aberrational loss by the good guys. I just knew that after having watched Ohio State all season that a lack of guard depth makes Ohio State more vulnerable to losses than a typical two seed. A pressing team like the Morganhole Marauders would be a bad match-up for Ohio State's thin backcourt.
P.S. Quit begging the Michigan guy, who used the Blacksmith's Tools handle to taunt you, to fight your battles for you.

I guess westsider doesn't have you on ignore this week.
Watched the UM game last night, and UM played about as good as they possibly could play. Had to be the best game I've seen where both teams are playing lights out. Normally, if you shoot 60% from the field, including 11-23 from 3-Land, you win handily, but Purdue shot 62%.
Purdue has a helluva team, and one that potentially could make a run in the dance. Great shooters, big man that's tougher than @Snow Sled Baby , and they play good defense.

Your penchant for making excuses for a loss is only rivaled by Marshall fans. If not for this, and but that, then maybe we could have.................Are you sure you're not a Herdiot ?
As usual, the point sails over Buzzkill's (pin) head. Ohio State isn't a Top 8 team in the Country, which a second seed in the NCAA Tournament would suggest, but it isn't because State Penn lucked into a win via the best shooting game of its existence. Ohio State's body of work would support a 5th seed, perhaps, but not a 2nd seed.
Purdue is really good, so you shouldn't feel badly about a close loss to the Boilers, especially at West Lafayette. On the other hand, Ohio State shot 56% from the field, and 100% from the charity stripe, but lost to mediocre State Penn, which somehow shot 79% from three. What was really weird was that almost all of the Ped. State's triples would have counted as NBA three-pointers, as they were shot from the damn parking lot.
Lunardi's brackets a month before the end of the regular season are about as worthless as a pre-season poll. Too many games yet to be played for anyone to take those projections seriously. As for Penn State's best shooting performance of its existance, whenever a team shoots that high of a percentage it means the defense gave up the shots their opponents wanted. Ahia State lost a game. Get over it and stop making excuses.

Your age exceeds your IQ, BuzzedBrain. You still don't get the point, but I'm done trying to explain it to you. It's hilarious that you keep crying about my allegedly making excuses for a loss, considering that Thuggins blames officials for almost every WVU loss, and your fellow Fold & Blew fans have convinced themselves that there is a giant zebra conspiracy against WVU. Here's a newsflash: Officials make mistakes in every game, and aren't conspiring against WVU or any other program, for that matter.
You've never seen me personally blame the refs for a WVU loss. I challenge you to find a post of mine where I have. As I've said before, in my younger days I was a ref although not on the collegiate level. It's a tough job and as a result of my experience calling games I tend to give the officials the benefit of the doubt. Having said that, I don't like the recent rule changes dictated by the NCAA that seem designed to take defense out of the game. In particular the "cylinder" rule that was instituted this year. Yes, that one rule change has hurt the "PressVirginia" style of play, maybe more than it has affected any team in the nation......... but the refs call the game according to the rule book and I have no problem with that.

Buzzard, why are you posting? I thought you couldn't care less about the Ohio State U, but yet, still you choose to provide worthless commentary.
I often wonder if you and coach Westside are kin, but perhaps you're clones of one another.
I can understand the need to clone chimps and sheep, but cloning WV State and Glenville grads simply doesn't make sense, unless there's a study on retardation.

I officiated kids basketball and umpired men's softball when I was in college, so I feel your pain, Buzzard. The only guy with whom I had a problem was a former high school baseball teammate of mine: He was liquored up, play right field, and decided to heckle me about a call at the Plate, as he staggered around the outfield. I tossed his a$$ out. LOL As for WVU, I heard Huggins and Caridi say several years ago that a premise of the full court press was that the Zebras would only call so many fouls. It seems disingenuous to me to complain about foul calls when you know that your players are beating up the other team, but Huggins shamelessly does it often. Having said that, I give Huggins credit for accepting the fact that it is extremely difficult to persuade blue-chip prospects to come to Morgantown, and using a defense that almost no other school uses at this point.
The fouls will come when you play that style of defense. Huggs knows that. The key to it's success over the past few years has been depth. The starters could get into foul trouble and someone from the bench would step up. Huggins doesn't have that luxury this year, at least not like he has in the past.
And I give credit to Huggs for taking players who weren't highly recruited and turning them into his style of players. Seems to me that has been working for him in his time at WVU. As for the defense that no one else uses consider this - not many college football teams were using the spread offense until DickRod brought it to WVU, now it's everywhere.
So take note fans: it's okay to be ranked high and get beat on your home floor. I'm sure Huggins is feeling much much better today.
Save your excuses about getting beat for your OSU brothers, whenever you ever visit the OSU board. No one cares here.
I agreed with your assessment and you twist it around just so you can have something to whine and cry about.
I don't need herd bones help for the likes of you. But another reminder, you two are supposed to be bitter rivals, not date mates defending each other at every turn. Remember how lame conference supporters are shunned by you (until you need it).
After all these years of following me around the Internet, you still are so delusional that you think that you can tell what to do? You prove every day why you had no college alternative to West Virginia State. I hope that you have enjoyed WVU's last five games, as four of them have been simply delightful to me. Back to begging Michigan fan to save you in 3, 2, 1....
"following me around the internet" That's a laugh. I was brought up better than to go to the places you have been on the internet.
Surprise !!! Another tough guy insult while hiding behind a computer screen about where I attended college. Hey, I can prove where I went to school. Too bad you can't (other than herdbone coming to YOUR rescue.)
Sorry junior. I saw about 8 game minutes of the UK game. Unlike you, I don't live my life around what 19 year old kids do and waste time online, creating several handles in order to try to get WVU fans upset.
More playground tough talk from the fraud in 3 ... 2 .... 1 ......

You bore me, fake WVU fan/Institute Tech alumnus. Put me back on ignore, and beg others to ignore me, as you did before, coward. Now, back to the thread topic: Lunardi has released his new bracketology. Ohio State is a third seed, which is still too lofty, and WVU is a four seed. Lunardi has No. 4 WVU playing No. 5 Kentucky in Dallas, assuming that both schools win their first tournament games. This would be very bad for WVU, as the young Wildcats should be even better by March, and Big Blue fans would turn Dallas into Lexington South.
