Mitch Harper speaks with Joe Lunardi, the bracketology expert at ESPN, about BYU’s rise and their chances in the NCAA tournament. Joe has been publishing NCAA tournament brackets on ESPN for 25 years. He says he doesn’t care about BYU’s resume, he knows they’re good at basketball. He mentions their experience and big-time players as a reason why he is so high on them. Lunardi mentions that the no-Sunday play will affect BYU’s seeding and could both raise their seed or lower it. He says that if BYU were to beat Gonzaga again in the WCC tournament, they could rise to a 4 seed.
