Congrats to Middle
Kermit Davis has done hella job the last 5 years but I believe this is his best squad yet. My favorite part of the game last night was near the end. It was over. Reggie had taken off for the other end and left his feet. I believe he was going to kick it to Giddy and not really sure what happened. Maybe Giddy was looking at Kermit who was practically on the floor. Reggie ended up coming down and walking.

Kermit yelled and Giddy yelled. Reggie yelled right back. Giddy said something and popped him on the butt and Reggie barked back at him again.

This in a game they were winning. Some would say uh-oh...trouble in paradise. That's not what I saw. I saw two Alphas that hate losing. That hate a turnover even in an apparently obvious win. I loved that Reggie didn't back down from Giddy. Both guys had tremendous games. Every time Marshall would cut it down Reggie would come down and do his methodical post up and spin move for a baby hook that was money.

When Marshall started running out of gas Giddy stepped on their throats. Not with his 3s. Taking it to the rack against some guys that don't guard well off the dribble.

Kudos to Marshall. I loved the fight in them. It was quality, entertaining hoops for a conference championship game.

I told KAjunRaider last year after they won the tourney that they'd be a matchup nightmare for somebody. He kinda went into just happy to be going. When I saw their matchup I didn't love it. But it in no way surprised me they beat Michigan State. I feel they can make it to the Sweet 16. I'm not going to add 'with the right matchups'. I think they can make no matter who they play. I'd prefer they don't get an 8 or 9 seed. I don't see the powers giving them a 7. So I'd like to see them with a 10-12 seed. If Middle fans think they've got rep from being Top 25 wait until you make a Sweet 16. So much love from the media.

Thanks dahbeed. It feels kind of like an upside down world where Western is back-to-back champs in football and Middle is back-to-back champs in basketball. Cheers!

It is upside down looking at what each school is more known for. Doesn't matter. Good times for both schools. Both have carried their weight imo since coming into CUSA. I felt we always did in the Sun Belt as well.

As much as I'd love to rag on Middle simply because I was raised that way I enjoy watching a good hoops team. Reggie is one of my favorite players to watch as I think he does every single skill on the floor well. I loved seeing him bark back at Giddy last night because he usually has an impassive 'too cool for school' look on his face.

I liked seeing Giddy bark too as a floor leader. I don't care that Dixon is the point god. Giddy is the leader of that backcourt. Jacorey has been a great add this year but to me Upshaw and Potts are the heart of that team. They have swag that has been earned on the court. I feel sorry for whoever they face in the first round. It's a bad draw for whoever gets them since they'll probably be underseeded.

If you would've told me 3-4 years ago heading into CUSA, 1 team would have back-to-back Basketball Championships with an NCAA upset win, and 1 team with back-to-back football championships....No one would've ever predicted the WKU in football and MT in hoops.

Crazy how things have played out...

Just goes to show you that it was not the teams the Cusa invited from the "Big Markets" that bring home the Trophys or that even helped with the TV revenue.

Good luck MTSU take out another Big 10 school like you did last year and keep on going.

I'm pulling for Middle. Y'all are much better than a 12 seed.

RE: Congrats to Middle
Reading the gophers boards, they're pretty offended. I suppose I would be too if I was a 5 seed and no one was picking me to win. They are the weakest 5 seed in my opinion. They seem to do a lot of mentioning their size, attacking middle's weak conference schedule and the teams that they lost to. FIU was the wtf loss but they don't realize how better utep had gotten over the year because they're just reading RPI. I honestly wish the media wasn't hyping y'all up so much because that's just added pressure for y'all and more ammunition for Minnesota to feel they're not being respected.

Yeah, at the end of the day we're still the underdog, but it doesn't really feel like it given all the media hype. They are definitely the weakest 5. I feel like the committee underseeded us and overseeded them, but matched us up to make it a wash.

I'm glad our presence in the South Florida, San Antonio, and Dallas market was able to get us that terrific ASN deal.

Yep back in 2009 we were a 12th seed facing Illinois and the whole week was about Illinois size and no way a small team from a small conference could be a mighty Big Ten team....They had 7-3 guy along with another 7 footer and they would dominate vs. our smaller players...After we won the game, the Illini fans were still dizzy seeing our much quicker players flying around their slow big guys for easy dunks...We would go on to lose to the Zags on a layup by a now NFL football player....I still do not know to this day why our big did not jump up and block the shot, he just half jumped...Nerveless those were the years and last time we were relevant on the national scene in hoops......

Norfolk is the 37th largest city ? Not Kansas?

My post was not about "metro", don't ***** about what I never wrote.
