Game! Of! The! Night! Jan 23: Utah State at Nevada

By Kyle Whelliston on January 23, 2006 3:40 AM |

If the WAC is indeed going to get two bids this year, here are the two that will most likely nab 'em, and they're on display on Big (Mid-Major) Monday on ESPN tonight. Utah State is doing quite well in their first season up from the Big West - after being broken in by a December trip to Hawaii, they've won four of five of their last league games to go 4-2. They lead the WAC in every category that has to do with shooting the basketball, and Nate Harris has been emerging as one of the league's best big men, hitting inside shots on a regular basis (63.7% FG). Nevada, like USU, has lost to Fresno, but every time the Pack loses, they get fewer votes in the coaches' poll... Fazekas & Co. are under a bit more national scrutiny than the Aggies are. But the most important stat of all: Utah State is 4-0 in Games! Of! The Night!, and Nevada is 1-1.

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.
