Dribblings 11/27/2004 (Who's The Benefactor's Daddy Edition)

By Kyle Whelliston on November 27, 2004 8:36 AM |

Please make sure you check out Yoni's new design over at College Basketball Blog if you haven't already. Clean, fit, functional. I'm now listed in the "pundits" section, although I'm not quite convinced I have pundit-like qualifications. But being listed directly ahead of Mark Cuban is cool. Boo-yah!

America East co-favorites Maine showed some guts last night by winning a defensive slog on A-10 Rhode Island's home floor, 47-44. The Salukis of Southern Illinois (MVC) dropped a bomb on a Vanderbilt team that's returning four starters from a 23-win team, winning by an impressive 67-53 margin. Otherwise, the college basketball world stayed in ints normal orbit yesterday.

CollegeHoops.Net followed the Buffalo (Mid-American) Bulls around for three days as they prepared to face the national champions. Good stuff.

A quick readaround about the atmo at the Great Alaska Shootout, courtesy of the Anchorage Daily News. Did you know that Alabama's Lucky Williams has a brother named ThankGod?

Siena coach Rob Lanier got friendly advice on the 2-3 from Syracuse coach Jim Boeheim. Probably won't help him too much in their matchup today, unfortunately.

Anyone who remembers the brawl between UNC-Asheville and Mars Hill 20 years ago knows that the Pistons-Pacers thing was a pillow fight by comparison. Radford (Big South) coach Byron Samuels was there.

What We Do
Now in its fifth season, The Mid-Majority is a blog about the 22½ smaller Division I college basketball conferences (and independents) by me, Kyle Whelliston. I write for ESPN.com and Basketball Times, and I maintain and edit Basketball State. I am working on a book about my travels this year.

This site does not accept public comments, but it's easy to get in touch.
