MDZip Posted March 17 Report Share Posted March 17 Guessing a 14 seed. 13 if we get really lucky. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kreed5120 Posted March 17 Report Share Posted March 17 Yes, 14 seed would be my guess. I saw some projections that had Akron playing Kentucky in Pittsburgh. As fans, that's probably the best we could realistically hope for. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZipsFan31 Posted March 17 Report Share Posted March 17 I am so happy for these boys… it’s time to play free with house money… so long have they been the hunted, time to be the hunter, hunting for an Upset! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mes102 Posted March 17 Report Share Posted March 17 I've seen two bracketology projections, both at #14 vs same opponent but different location. #14 Akron - #3 Illinois (in Pittsburgh, PA) #14 Akron - #3 Illinois (in Omaha, NE) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LoyalZIP Posted March 17 Report Share Posted March 17 17 #1 seeds have lost this week so far, or something like that. A10 has stolen a bid knocking out Dayton. Anything can happen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So which component of this is incorrect, given Lunardi's track record - the seed, the opponent, or the location? Or all 3? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NWAkron Posted March 17 Report Share Posted March 17 the watch party is rather anti-climatic. I've gone to a few. You wait around and then hear "UCLA in Portland" or "VCU in Detroit." And you are like "is that all there is?" I think this one may be a bit more special because of the seniors. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Princeton lost to 13-17 Brown yesterday, so may bump us up to the last 13 seed as I don’t see them getting in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
clarkwgriswold Posted March 17 Author Report Share Posted March 17 Dream scenario- Marquette ends up a three and gets matched up with the Zips and the Zips get revenge on that smug disrespectful puke Shaka. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its primary draw is that it may be the last chance for many of us to see these kids together. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure where the Dukes would fall into place. UC Davis replaced by LCJ's first school Long Beach State. Fairfield is also out.
