So we all agree Wichita St is the Best Mid Major, Right?

[Louisvillekid1]

+100 was a gift yesterday...

[BernardMadoff]

I was leaning Louisville.

[Djstucky]

WSU is a solid squad and yes I agree...And they play about 40 mins from my house...Go Shockers!!!

[EDDIE MONEY LINE]

yup. them or st marys....i can't sleep on murray st either

[19th Hole]

I was leaning Louisville.

I agree, L'Ville may be the best mid-major.

[rm18]

BYU when healthy

[LT Profits]

St. Mary's and Murray aren't going anywhere come tourney time. As for best mid-major, tough to split Wichita State / UNLV / Saint Louis

[InTheDrink]

dont discount long beach just because they have a buncha losses to good teams

[HoulihansTX]

Saint louis/St Marys

[EDDIE MONEY LINE]

St. Mary's and Murray aren't going anywhere come tourney time. As for best mid-major, tough to split Wichita State / UNLV / Saint Louis

LT ur crazy...both st marys and murray will win at least one game in the tourny, maybe 2...prob not much more than that depending on the matchups of course....st louis, temple is better than they are....i don't have unlv figured out tho

[YOUNGBUCK]

Marys would beat Wich in tourney

WCC is weak this year and believe it or not, Murray State is not even in tournament yet. If they lose in conference tourney (a real possibility as they were never as good as their record anyway), do they get an at-large playing in a terrible conference? And if they win their tournament, they will probably be overseeded.

Marys would beat Wich in tourney

I gotta disagree here...

[RoadDog]

Marys would beat Wich in tourney

Garrett Stutz would have about 40 in that game.

[EDDIE MONEY LINE]

i probably will agree with u on murray although they have stud guards who can win games in tourny, if like u said they get in...i don't know if they would desrve an at large....wcc is kinda weak, but zags and st marys can play with any team in ncaa besides kentucky, cuse, kansas and north carolina...everyone else they could beat if they play a good game and shoot well

[coitus_maximus]

The Shockers are great...Also liking St. Louis too

[coitus_maximus]

VCU can also still ball.

[pickyourpoison]

would San Diego State be a mid major since UNLV and others where mentioned

[Owls]

Unlv doesn't feel like a mid major, because of thier past glory years. And is Atlantic 10 really a mid major conference? Seems to always have really good teams.

[RoadDog]

Cleveland St. should at least be mentioned in the conversation.

[ttwarrior1]

unlv is not a mid major

[rm18]

The only mid major with enough personnel to win a championship though is Detroit despite the bad record

Under that logic you'd have to think about Iona as well.

[rm18]

Under that logic you'd have to think about Iona as well.

Iona has 0 size/rebounding/inside defense though still a dangerous team because guard play usually more crucial in March

[RoadDog]

I meant it as they have great dynamic guards like Detroit, but play no defense.

[LordStark]

until one of these teams can prove otherwise in the tourney, it's still Butler...hands down

unlv is not a mid major

Yes to Atlantic 10 and yes UNLV IS is mid-major. A mid-major is a team not from the 6 major conferences (ACC, Big Ten, Big 12, Big East, Pac-12, SEC). The thing is Pac-12 is actually ninth ranked conference in the country according to the Pomeroy Ratings even behind 3 mid-majors (Mountain West, Atantic-10. Missouri Valley), but I didn't make up the rules so Pac-12 is still considered a major.

Butler won't make NCAAs this year unless they win Horizon tourney.

would San Diego State be a mid major since UNLV and others where mentioned

Aztecs would be but UNLV and New Mexico are both ranked higher.

[No coincidences]

All I know is that Canaan's a fvcking pro right now and I'd hate to stare him down in the Dance.

[rjt721]

Rebels

[marcusmv3]

Whoever said Louisville is wrong, they play in the Big East, ergo they are not a mid-major. Temple is a team to watch, they destroyed Xavier last night, SLU also good but prone to really bad shooting and being sloppy. After Temple A10 is very balanced so it's hard to predict who else might make a run but UMass, St. Joe's, SLU, and La Salle are all possibilities.

[GoBlue23]

My vote goes to Temple

Fixed it. Saint Louis is clearly better than second-tier teams you mentioned and they are ranked MUCH higher than Temple on Pomeroy.

[marcusmv3]

Sorry LT I have been following the A10 for a long time, closer than any other league, and respectfully disagree, I put SLU along with Xavier in the second tier as the only A10 team I expect to go to the dance is Temple, after them it can be 2 or 3 others but who those others will be is yet to be determined. Did you not see UMass dismantle SLU? They were embarrassed.
