Game! Of! The! Night! Nov 29: Northern Iowa at Iowa State

By Kyle Whelliston on November 29, 2005 3:03 AM |

If you need the Big Ten-ACC Challenge to get excited about November hoops, you're at the wrong site. If you like to see upper-class mid-majors getting shots at taking down nearby power conference schools, then you have the kind of attention span we like around here.

Near-consensus preseason MVC pick Northern Iowa and Wooden Award watchlister Ben Jacobson battle Iowa State of the Big VIII+IV tonight in the nation's heartland. The Panthers will hope to take a chunk of their 33-7 deficit in the all-time series, and with the stunned Cyclones reeling from a loss to Iona in their own tournament, they have a solid chance to do just that. (Honorable mention to Astyle=font-weight:bold HREF=http://schools.basketballstate.com/STJ>Hofstra-St. John's, because that's the kind of kick-'em-when-they're-down thing that never gets old.)

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.
