Lunardi Prognosticating Play-In Game

[haggyland]

While I am aware that Mr. Lunardi's predictions are not to be taken as gospel, and that anything can happen in a long season (including the continued development of the UVM team), it is interesting to note that Lunardi has predicted the play-in game for the Great Danes....

64. Albany: The Great Danes have three starters returning from the first NCAA Tournament team in school history, including 2006 America East Player of the Year Jamar Wilson. Albany also gave top-seeded UConn a scare in a first-round contest last March. This season, we think Albany will need to win an opening-round game to advance to the main bracket. With a solid win over Bucknell already in their pocket, these Danes are great (or at least good) enough to do just that.

 

Hopefully with some quality OOC wins the RPI for the AE will improve, and a higher seed will be attainable. Then again, a win in the play-in game still counts as an NCAA Tournament win, right?
