Kings Stay Kings: Joe Lunardi Put Out His 68-Team NCAA Tournament Bracket Before 1 Single Game Was Played, Pisses Off Every Fanbase

Is Joe Lunardi the best bracketologist out there? Of course not. But there's nobody and I mean nobody who is more associated with bracketology than Joe Lunardi. So you know what? This is what he's going to do. A complete 68-team seed list, first four out, next out, all that stuff. Joe Lunardi doesn't give a shit that 0 games were played when he hit send. He crunched the numbers, came up with who would be first four out and hit send. 

The best part? People still lose their mind on him. Look at the replies. I know it's Twitter. I know it's probably 80% of the lunatics in Providence (love you guys) yelling at him. But you have people even calling him a shill for ruining the NCAA because the Big 10 and SEC have the most bids. Again, I can't stress this enough. 0 games were played at the time of him publishing this. And for everyone who says what about power rankings or things like that? This is different. This is seeding a bracket that is based on games played, not projecting the future. But it's what makes Lunardi king.

You know what though? I hope Lunardi never stops. There's something perfect about the small percentage of us fans who live and die with this stupid sport and stupid tournament in November. Pissed off that he has Houston and Kansas as auto qualifiers? Let him know about it. Think your least favorite team is overrated? Lunardi is going to get a lot of mentions about that. He's pissed off coaches, he has a mortal enemy in Jim Boeheim, the man knows how to deliver. 

PS: Fucking idiot putting us at 24 and Arkansas at 15.
