Read what Lunardi has to say about UNI and the Bracket Buster.

Who is the best team in the field?
Northern Iowa. Hands down, the Panthers are the best team in BracketBuster history. UNI's profile -- InsideRPI No. 13, NonConf RPI No. 14, 5-1 vs. RPI Top 50, 9-2 road/neutral record -- isn't in any way "mid-major." The Panthers are a No. 5 seed (and rising!) in our latest bracket projection. If Northern Iowa can split a pair of nasty road games at Creighton and at Southern Illinois, plus knock off Bucknell in the Bracket Buster, a top-four NCAA seed should be in store. It's also worth noting that UNI's most explosive player, Eric Crawford, is due back from injury in late February.
