ESPN has their mid-major poll and we play 3 (potentially 4 of them this season). Here are some interesting tidbits and what we should be concerned about:
George Washington: "but not many programs, mid-major or otherwise, can talk about running out a lineup that goes 6-2, 6-4, 6-5 across the front...The team led the nation in rebounding by a healthy margin a season ago."
Chattanooga: "It excelled defensively, and it was efficient (it shot 52 percent against Tennessee and turned over the ball just 12 times against Stanford). More relevant to these rankings, almost the entire rotation that produced that returns this season."
Gonzaga: "There is still a lot of size, as well as a quality point guard and promising shooters."
Dayton: "That still leaves a player who had a double-double and four blocks against Louisville in the Sweet 16 (Jodie Cornelie-Sigmundova) and a lot of backcourt depth."
