Tuesday night during the 1st PC game Joe Lunardi called in and discussed Winthrop making the tournament at 25-1 with a loss in the BSC tournament final. He also spoke about seeding. Undefeated, an 11 seed is possible with a 12 more likely. Concerning being undefeated until a loss in the tournament final, he said we'd be in the conversation, especially in this strange year with covid, cancellations, and other hardships. Too much information to accurately summarize here.
If you have access to ESPNU archive of the Winthrop/PC game Lunardi can be heard at the 27:40 mark of the recording, or about 7:33 game time in the 1st half.

And then there were 5 undefeated. Siena, formerly 6-0 with 16 straight wins, loses to 7-5 St. Peter's. Just goes to show that anything can happen and our guys need to continue to bring it every game.

Previously undefeated 18-0 Drake just lost to Valpo. Does it really matter to us? Probably not, except if we can't be undefeated I don't want anyone else to be undefeated either, especially if they're a mid-major.
