Lunardi's updated bracket projection; Gophers #5 seed

[SelectionSunday]

Gophers in East Regional as a #5 seed playing #12 Akron in Spokane. #4 UConn and #13 Cornell opposite the Gophers.

However, Lunardi did make a goof. In this bracket, there's the potential for Gophers & MSU to meet up in the Sweet 16. That would break one of the bracket no-nos, teams from the same conference meeting prior to the Elite 8. Only way that can happen is if there are more than 8 bids from a league.

Must have noticed his mistake. Now it has us as #5 playing #12 Marquette in San Jose.

A five and not a 2 seed? He obviously doesn't know what he's talking about

Marquette making the tourney, after all they lost? Oh well, in June everyone's a contender.
