Who is the Best Mid-Major?

[MilfordHusky]

Am I correct in assuming that DePaul and Marquette are not considered Mid-Majors?

But Kayla White is having a great game!

That's a sad tweet. 16 points in a half is just sad.

Losing by 24 at half is even sadder.

Having only 16 points and losing by 24 at the half *to Rice* is super-sad.

Having only 16 pts AND losing by 24 at half to Rice AND tweeting about it may be the saddest of all.

Yep.

 

[triaddukefan]

Yep.

What are they then?

I was just following what ESPN classifies as “mid-majors” when they release their rankings.

ESPN's definition of mid-major excludes the power 5 plus the Big East and AAC.

If Vanderbilt can win this game against CMU, I'd call it a major upset. Vandy only has 7 players available to play, including a walk-on from the soccer team.

Yeah but the Commodores Soccer team was nationally ranked...
