Joe Lunardi's latest Bracketology update 3/4/12 - 10:15 PM EST

[Bullsanity95]

Lunardi seemed to indicate that he thinks we're in even with another loss in a chat today on espn.com

He said MAYBE..

[macphisto]

We just need to win the next game, though I think we can go beyond that. The way we're playing, I think we'd have a shot against ND and we're not the same team we were when we played Marquette.

I also think we have a chance to become a crowd darling in the BET. Not against Cuse where a lot of people go to NYC, but I think we'd have a lot rooting for us against ND and Marquette if we got to those rounds.

Lunardi's late-night Bracketology update - March 6, 12:05 AM EST http://espn.go.com/blog/collegebasketballnation/post/_/id/51246/lunardis-late-night-bracketology-update-3

Check back Tuesday morning for Joe Lunardi's full bracket, but for now, here are his updated main components after Monday night's four conference title games:

NOTABLE

After losing to VCU in the CAA final, Drexel stays in the field for now.

The point being that he felt we had more of a cushion than UConn or Seton Hall. One more loss would probably do those guys in.
