New Bracketology by Lunardi

While his brackets usually suck in terms of who will play who (or whom?) Nu vs SFA would be great but a second round match up with super athletic Arkansas is not ideal. Now, they don't play any defense but they can get to the rim.
Anymore? I know they were when Underwood coached there but I have not heard about them recently.
Are there any other bracketologists who post or update a bracket regularly like Lunardi does? I seen some other who have much higher accuracy numbers by they just tweet their thoughts as the season goes on and only publish 1 page reduction bracket at the end of season.
Hate saying this, but we are primed to lose our first round game just like we did in 1978.
I really hope I am wrong.

There are a lot but I don't know the names...
bracketmatrix is a cool one to look at and it might have links to individual ones.
Stephen F Austin is decent for their competition. They’re 24-3. But they don’t really blow anyone out much. They’re feasting on other no names in their conference. I’d be more concerned with a team like High Point or UNC Wilmington,
Thought we played Texas in 1978 and lost.
I remember 19-3 start with Cipriano.
Now I have to see if memory is correct
The way this team is playing... it wouldn't surprise me if they lost a 16 v 16 play-in game.
Further review shows I was imagining things!
Negative(s):
1) Huskers not playing as well of late. This is against the upper level teams in the B1G and/or road games.
2) The offensive flow has resulted in longer scoring droughts.
Positive(s):
1) NU still playing good, efficient defense for most of these past half dozen game, which is a continuation all season. Defense travels.
2) First round opponent will only have 2-3 days to game plan. Will be difficult for the opponent to practice and simulate.
3) Husker defense is not “traditional” in the sense we push teams to the baseline. NCAA opponents are not used to that. See #2.
4) Nebraska will have neutral referees. Won’t need to contend with the B1G bias. Huskers may actually get a few 50-50 calls.
It may be the 7-man rotation doesn’t allow for much rest, and the guys are a little tired. The remaining regular season games will tell a lot about where NU is going into the NCAAs.
