They currently have us SECOND (!) with the following write-up:
2. La Salle. Other than last Saturday's game at George Washington, this was a bit of an off-week for La Salle -- tomorrow's home date with Fordham included. But the Explorers should be commended for handling the Colonials, who'd won their previous three (close games at UMass and Rhode Island and an absolute thrashing of Charlotte) and were starting to look like a mid-table dangerous insurgent, particularly on the defensive end.
Also, Lunardi currently has us as a 12 seed. We moved down probably because of UMass and a ton of bubble teams having good weeks.

THat's funny, Jerry Palm has LS as a 9 Seed now....crazy how there are so many variations. I really beleive Lunardi is somewhat swayed by knowing our history more so then Palm. I'm sure Palm has some predisposed opinions that make him less than 100% objective, but I find it interesting to say the least.
Jerry Palm has been super-accurate over a longer period than Lunardi. Lunardi gets more hype because he's on ESPN and they sell hype.

Jay Bilas' top-68 teams:
59. La Salle Explorers (Previous ranking: NR)
The Explorers have been rated in The Bilas Index before, but did not have the wins to stay in. After wins over Butler, VCU and Dayton, La Salle has done enough to gain re-entry. By the way, Bill Raftery played at La Salle. Send it in, Dr. Giannini!

Also, Lunardi currently has us as a 12 seed. We moved down probably because of UMass and a ton of bubble teams having good weeks. Lunardi has done about 4-5 updates to his bracket since the UMASS lost so you can eliminate that variable.. One reason is do to the fact that other teams have played well and we had a bye.. Time to start winning again I am on record stating that Lunardi has us below where we should just based off the numbers.. With our RPI, SOS, Top 50 and Top 100 data we would be comparable to the 9 seeds on his brackets... Another reason is actually matchup/bracket locations as of yesterday, we are still 43 on his s-curve and that hasn't changed in 2 weeks. |
