Joseph Lunardi is an American college basketball analyst for ESPN.

He was born in Philadelphia, attended Saint Joseph's Preparatory School in Philadelphia, as well as Damien High School in CA, and graduated from St. Joseph's University in 1982, where he served as the sports editor for the campus newspaper. After a brief stint as a freelance sports writer and in communications at Temple University, he took the position of director of media relations for St. Joseph's in 1987.[2] He later served as director of external relations, director of university communications, assistant vice president for marketing communications, vice president for marketing and communications, and finally director of marketing and broadcast services before leaving St. Joseph's administration in 2019.[2][3]

He is best known for creating bracketology, which he calls the "art and science" of predicting the teams that will be selected in the annual NCAA Men's Basketball Tournament. This started as part of his work in the Blue Ribbon College Basketball Yearbook, where he became managing editor in 1991. To launch a new guide to the tournament in 1995, his team needed to preview the potential teams which would make the NCAA men's basketball tournament. After the first edition where he evaluated 100 teams, of which only 64 made the tournament, he began making projections in 1996 to ESPN.com in exchange for publicity for the Yearbook.[4]

Since 1997, he is the resident bracketologist for ESPN and took on a full time role in 2019. In addition to his duties at ESPN, he has served as color commentator for men's basketball for the Saint Joseph's Hawks since 1990.[4] Lunardi correctly predicted all 65 teams to appear in the 2008 NCAA tournament.[5]

Lunardi has stated that his first bracket for ESPN received 250,000 hits in the first 90 minutes posted. His brackets sometimes receive millions of hits over the course of a season.[6] Since then, he has been a fixture on ESPN's Bracketology program and on SportsCenter, especially during the months of February and March in the run-up to the NCAA Tournament.[7]

As of 2021, Lunardi has homes in Ocean City, New Jersey and Drexel Hill, Pennsylvania.[4]

Term in motorsports On racing tracks, black stripes of rubber on the tarmac from previous cars often indicate the racing line. In motorsport, the racing line is the optimal path around a race course.[1] In most cases, the line makes use of the entire width of the track to lengthen the radius of a turn: entering at the outside edge, touching the apex—a point on the inside edge—then exiting the turn by returning outside. Description Driving the racing line is a primary technique for mi…

Distortions of time in fantasy by J. R. R. Tolkien The philologist and author J. R. R. Tolkien set out to explore time travel and distortions in the passage of time in his fiction in a variety of ways. The passage of time in The Lord of the Rings is uneven, seeming to run at differing speeds in the realms of Men and of Elves. In this, Tolkien was following medieval tradition in which time proceeds differently in Elfland. The whole work, too, following the theory he spelt out in his essay On Fair…
