Third Annual Basketball Watch Party – Quarantine Edition with Joe Lunardi

Join ESPN Bracketologist Joe Lunardi and the Jesuit Friends and Alumni Network of Kansas City for our third annual basketball watch party and networking event.

Saturday, March 6, 2021, 5 p.m. CST (6 p.m. EST)

As always, we will gather on a day when all four men’s basketball teams of the Big East Conference Jesuit universities (Creighton, Georgetown, Marquette and Xavier) are scheduled to play. This season, the networking event will be virtual. All Jesuit alumni and friends nationwide are invited.

St. Joseph’s University alumnus Joe Lunardi, who invented Bracketology and has been projecting the NCAA Tournament field for ESPN.com since its inception, will join us on the Saturday before Conference Tournament Week to review the anticipated bracket, discuss the impact of Jesuit education, give insight on bubble teams, and share an inside look on Jesuit hoops squads.

There is no charge. Registration is required. The link to the Zoom Watch Party will be provided to registrants on Friday, March 5.
