I think the committee was getting as sick as I was of Joe Lunardi stupid face on the TV 24/7 spouting about the field. He went from being a geek who was good at figuring out who would be in the tournament to being an arrogant clown. Once coaches started saying that ‘Lunardi should have us in after that win’ (see VT beating Duke), I think the committee decided to take him down a peg. Worth mentioning – based on Richmond’s seed, can it be assumed that they were out of the field if they lost to Dayton? That would have been worse than Colorado.
