In light of today’s news becoming official, Joe Lunardi announced his initial 2027 Bracketology and…We’re In.

East Region:

#12 seed playing #5 seed St. John’s in Spokane.

He has “two” WCC teams in the tournament but seems to have forgotten Gonzaga’s departure.

Note: CBS Bracketology today places St. Mary’s in the field.

Obviously, this all means nothing, just found it interesting being a slow Thursday.
