Game! Of! The! Night! Nov 25: Nicholls State at Maryland-Eastern Shore

By Kyle Whelliston on November 25, 2005 8:04 AM |

Thanksgiving is the day to dig into a tableful of glorious bounty. With that in mind, I'd like to look past all the exciting and exotic tourney action on the tube today and focus on a game that's all about leftovers.

By applying rational and scientific techniques, the MEAC's football-free Maryland-Eastern Shore was the worst team in college basketball last year (#330 of 330). The Southland's Nicholls State weren't much better (#326). If the old Mid-Majority adage proves true (all you need for good basketball is two evenly matched teams), then this'll be a better game than the Coaches vs. Cancer final. Forget the Top 25 - when the Hawks and Colonels meet up in Princess Anne today we'll get the rare chance to see two Bottom 5 teams play.


What We Do
Having recently completed its fourth season, The Mid-Majority is a blog about the 22 smaller Division I college basketball conferences (and independents) by me, Kyle Whelliston. I write for ESPN.com and Basketball Times, and maintain the Basketball State statistics website as well.

Here's a brief note on who we talk about, and why.

If you need to contact me for any reason, you can do so with this form. If you're looking for the stats, maps or budget data, it's all over here now.
