Joe Lunardi

Joseph Lunardi is a college basketball analyst for ESPN. He was born in Philadelphia, he is a graduate of Damien Preparatory School in California, and is a Saint Joseph's University alumnus. Lunardi currently lives in Drexel Hill, Pennsylvania. He is best known for creating Bracketology, the art and science of selecting the tournament picks for the annual NCAA Men's Basketball Tournament. He is well-known as the resident bracketologist for ESPN, which he won through ESPN's "Dream Job: Bracketology Edition". Since 1998, he has picked correctly 33 of 34 at-large teams every year. In addition to his duties at ESPN, he is the Assistant Vice President of Marketing Communications at Saint Joseph's University and does color commentary for men's basketball for the Saint Joseph's Hawks. Lunardi correctly predicted all 65 teams to appear in the 2008 NCAA Tournament.

Lunardi's 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.
