Who’s ready to start thinking about the 2019 NCAA Tournament field of 68? Well, ESPN’s Joe Lunardi is apparently always thinking about the next tournament and has released his first bracketology prediction eleven months before selection Sunday.
It is no surprise to see Texas Tech in Lunardi’s bracket but some may be surprised by how high he has the Red Raiders. Lundardi gives Texas Tech a 4 seed which is only one spot lower than the seed the Red Raiders received this year.
With the loss of six of the team’s top eight scorers, it would be no shock to see Texas Tech enter the season with depressed expectations.
