Wonder what, if anything will replace this for mid majors?

ESPN Ranks The Conferences

A pretty good read. The MAC is in the middle but the reasoning is spot on. Thoughts?

Zips Live

Had some time to kill so I tuned in online to listen to Zips live. KD had some really interesting things to say.


Here's the summary.


The team: Thinks Alex can take the next step (One of the best pg's in the country) but must take care of things outside of basketball ie; diet, and staying out too late.
Would like to see the team find ways to run more. Said would like to see them become more like VCU.
Thinks Rico and Q will be the go to guys next year. Mentioned Zeke needs to eat, sleep, and breath basketball to take the next step. Said it's all between his ears and he needs to live in the gym. Is confident he'll take that step.
Happy with the youngsters. Thinks Harney and Tree had better freshmen years than Rome and Wood.
Would like to see the one of the incoming freshmen become a stretch 4. Said a mid major really needs that to be good.
Wants more consistency and more toughness with defense.

Schedule: Will continue to step up in scheduling. Mentioned Detroit, Marshall, Creighton, CSU, and the trip to PR that includes Providence, Tennessee, and others. Mentioned wants to schedule up to get an at large.

The arena: Mentioned that most successful mid majors are basketball only schools. If they are going to take the next step they need to raise more money and upgrade their arena. Mentioned would like to see 7k basketball only with the ability to expand if they were to get into a bigger conference. Also said he wants a section for the students on the floor even going as far to say he'd like to move some donors out and bring in the students at the JAR.

Conference: Mentioned that he'd like to get into another conference to take the next step. He did say that it may not be big enough to separate them from the other mid majors schools in the state.

Was very happy with the team. 4 players were never in these situations and thinks they'll be a lot better next year.

NCAT VS AKRON

Someone put a lid on the baskets so far. Also no Harney but not i pad as far as I can tell. Deyi gets the start at point. Nik has already put up two three's and was way short on both.
