The 2019 college basketball season came to a close Monday which means it is already time for some way-too-early projections for the 2020 season.
ESPN’s Joe Lunardi released his first bracketology and he believes the Arizona Wildcats — No. 1 recruiting class and all — will barely squeak into the NCAA Tournament.
Not only does Lunardi project Arizona will be an 11-seed, he also has them as one of the last four teams into the Big Dance, matched up with fellow 11-seed Virginia Tech in a play-in game.
Either Lunardi has little faith that Nico Mannion, Josh Green and company can right the ship, or he thinks that class will never make it to campus.
