ESPN’s Bracketology expert Joe Lunardi has liked what he’s seen in the early going from the Johhnies. In his latest bracket predictions, he has the Johnnies making the big dance as an 11-seed.

As many predicted before the season started, the Red Storm have taken care of their non-conference schedule much better than in Head Coach Chris Mullin’s first two seasons. Their only two blemishes have been against Missouri in the AdvoCare Invitational and in Los Angeles against third-ranked Arizona State.
