Question

Who will be the best Mid-Major team this year in basketball? Will there be any surprises like Davidson?

Answer 1

Davidson is gonna be good again (still have Curry) and Virginia Commonwealth University (VCU) will do some damage. Their rop player (Eric Maynor) is back for his Senior year

Answer 2

lol i kno what your ralkin about, yea Illinois got some decent people so i think they can make it into the big dance and they can be a shocker

Answer 3

central michigan!!!!

Answer 4

Yes, I think Mercer University has a chance.

Mercer is in the weak A-Sun Conference and their only competition will be Belmont and ETSU. Mercer has a very tough schedule with games against UCLA, Dayton, Georgia Tech, Alabama, and Auburn.

Mercer has a new coach and most key players returning. Check them out at www.mercerbears.com

Answer 5

I'm wondering if Davidson won't sneak up on anyone again this year, but then again...they certainly seemed to be THAT good in the tournament last year. I think they'll be back to make some serious noise.

It's tough to say this early on, but I agree that VCU will make some noise with Maynor back in the mix.

Answer 6

I think the mid major team that will be pretty good is St. Mary's out of California. They were ranked in the top 25 pretty much most of the year last year and they only had 2 seniors Todd Golden and Tron Smith, so almost everyone is back.  With a core of Patty Mills the Autrailian sensation, Diamond Simpson, Ian Oleary, and Omar Samham, are four returning starters. Also they have a few recruits coming in this year that might be able to contrube right away. They will give Gonzaga a run for the money in the West Coast Conference.
