Lukas Harkins, a sophomore healthcare and business major at Butler University, did not see anything that surprised him on Selection Sunday. He correctly predicted the 68 teams that made up this year’s NCAA Men’s Basketball Tournament.
Harkins is Butler’s version of ESPN bracketologist Joe Lunardi; he begins looking at the bracket and breaking down tournament teams long before selection Sunday. Harkins said he started formulating his bracket in the first week of December.
Harkins love for bracketology began with the selection show.
