I suspect that MSU will make it in just because of Izzo and that they have the longest NCAA appearance streak.

I think there's a legimate question on whether Lunardi and Palm are even good prognosticators anymore since the NCAA moved to the NET rankings. All of their reputations were based on the old RPI and I don't think they've changed their approach.

Yes, my understanding is they are not particularly accurate (Palm especially not) but they offer a good baseline and easy to digest ESPN, CBS, etc. versus some random Wordpress blog

Just to show where things stand...

Monday CBS/Palm - not among first four out https://www.cbssports.com/college-ba.../bracketology/

New Lundardi/ESPN - UC second team out https://www.espn.com/espn/feature/st...ld-predictions

New USA Today - UC a 10 seed https://www.usatoday.com/story/sport...t/72397819007/
