Post anything mid Major related in this thread.

Currently UVM is down by 6 to UVA at the half. UVM already at 4-0 with 3 true road wins.

I got a good feeling about Illinois state this year. They got shooting all over, a good looking PG, depth in the post (not very tall though), and solid depth all around. They will take a while to gel all year, but they have solid players that can contribute coming off the bench and a solid starting 5. They are very unselfish. By the time the MVC games start, they could be firing on all pistons on both sides of the floor.

Im interested in this Nicholls St team. Win at Pitt and have 3 close losses at Illinois, at LSU and URI. Could go on a run once they get to league play

This should be a year that the mid-majors are able to close the gap further, but no team stands out to me.

It does seem more and more like random mid majors are able to beat Power 5 teams on the road, but not sure that will help their seeding much.

NW is weird. Lose to Merrimack by double digits, beat Providence, now getting drilled at home against Radford. Although Radford is a good mid Major program, but still.

I'm wondering how much Charles Bassey coming back to Western Kentucky will improve their chances of finally winning the C-USA tournament.

UNI looking like they may have a good squad this year . Theyll be 6-0 before playing WVU and Colorado or the next few weeks.

Even weirder considering Providence destroyed Merrimack. Must of had a real off night against NW

Could be a bounce back year from the A-10 after a couple down years. VCU, UMass, George Mason, Fordham, Dayton, Richmond and Duquesne still unbeaten. St Joe's, which was picked to finish 13th in the league already has a wins over Bradley(my projected MVC winner) and UConn on the road. Speaks to the depth of a league if the team picked to finish next to last can already have a couple top 125 KP wins.

Same here. I was definitely thinking he was bolting after last season. Wonder what Stansbury said to him to get him to stay.

Notre Dame got about the luckiest break i've ever seen last night against Toledo.

Fired up a brick that wedged


Posession arrow gave them the ball........with a second left, which they were able to hit a 3 to take the game to OT (where they won)

If the ball didnt get wedged the game was over, a tip in woulda done nothing for them.

A brick ironically ended up saving the game for ND

That was wild. I've never seen that before.

UConn looks allright this year. They may challenge to be on the bubble.
