Mid Major Thread

Loyola beat Evansville by 51 tonight. Holy fuck.
 
Mountain West tournament is going to be insanely good. 3 locks as of now(if they take care of business) SDSU on the right side of the cutline for now, and it wouldn't surprise me if a team outside the top 4 wins it. UNLV, Fresno State and Utah State all can make a run. 5 bid league?!
 
HUGE game in the MVC today

Loyola at UNI

Likely for all the marbles
 
Phenpmenal game in Cedar Falls

UNI wins the MVC by beating Loyola 102-96 in OT
 
It feels like many of the 1 or 2 seeds have ran through these small conference tournaments. Hopefully sets up for a good 1st round.

The #1 seed won the Big South(Longwood), OVC(Murray State), Summit(South Dakota State), technically, Jacksonville State, didn't win the A-Sun, but they get the auto because of Bellarmine being ineligible. Chattanooga won the SoCon. Bryant won the NEC.

Loyola won the MVC as the 4 seed, but they are the best team IMO.

The league where the gap was pretty big from the #1 seed to the eventually winner was the CAA. Towson was a top 75 team, Delaware is ranked in the 130's.
 


Pitino v. Pitino at the Pit next year.
 
Houston’ not really a mid major, but didn’t know where else to put this.
 
Mid Majors to beat P6 teams(I'm not including ACC as Mid Major)

S. Illinois over Oklahoma State
Northwestern State over TCU

Pac 12:

Villanova lost to Temple.
 
Cincinnati loses to Northern Kentucky by 13. Cincy seemed to project as a “bubble” type team by some so this is a bad loss.

I wasn't including AAC teams, but if you did, that would certainly add to the total.

I wasn't going to include P6 teams that lost to an AAC school. Yeah, it was a typo. Meant AAC obviously.
 
pretty good night for me

The Niners take down Davidson



UNCC/Davidson play for the Hornets Nest trophy every year



if they keep playing well, i may have to drive down to Charlotte and catch a game. due to my work schedule/COVID, i was never able to watch them in-person as a student
