tmh8286 Posted February 1, 2007 Share Posted February 1, 2007 We're still getting recognition from our early season success: Inside College Basketball The Following article was found in an article entitled "Final Forum": Will other mid-majors make another strong showing in the NCAA Tournament? If anything, the pool of talented mid-majors is even deeper this year. Butler, Air Force (19-3) and Nevada (19-2) have spent most of this season ranked in the Top 25, while Oral Roberts (which shocked No. 3 Kansas), Gonzaga (which beat No. 2 North Carolina), Missouri State, (which stunned No. 7 Wisconsin) and Wichita State (which outlasted sixth-ranked LSU) have all shown that they can sting a heavy favorite. The Missouri Valley Conference, which last year sent Wichita State and Bradley to the Sweet 16, again may be difficult to reckon with. The league has five teams ranked in the top 50 of the RPI, led by No. 10 Southern Illinois (17-5). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
