Each Wednesday, I will be posting my Mid-Major Top-25 highlighting the top 25 teams from non-power conferences. These rankings exclude the A10, AAC and WCC. Also included each week will be a breakdown of all notable mid major notes around the country. These teams could be the teams to pull off incredible upsets in the NCAA Tournament!

Every week I post my top-10 players in NCAA basketball, and a brief statement on why they are ranked in my top-10. 1. Trae Young (Oklahoma) – His team may have cooled off, but Trae has not. He still averages the most points per game at 29.1. 2. Marvin Bagley (Duke) – Freshman monster for Duke who does it all. 3. DeAndre Ayton (Arizona) – Best center in the nation, who is keeping Arizona in the hunt this season. 4. Jalen Brunson (Villanova) – Best court general in college basketball on the best team. 5. Devonte Graham (Kansas) – Kansas’s heart and…

Each week on Thursdays I will be posting my Bracketology and Bubble. However, last week I liked the idea of percentages because it highlights each team that still has a tournament hope. Also, next Tuesday I may have some type of Bracketology post to replace Power Rankings, since they are not relevant this late in the season. *Filled in with red are the play in games* *The first team of each seed plays the first team in the opposing seed, for example seed 1-1 will play seed 16-1 as seed 8-4 will play seed 9-4* Bracketology I firmly believe that…

Every Thursday, I post my Bracketology and Bubble. Also this week, I skipped Power Rankings and Mid Major Top-25 for a reason. Below, after the Bracketology and Bubble, will be teams still alive, and a percentage chance they have to get a tournament bid without winning their conference tournament. Lastly, I just want to let everyone know that this Sunday the 11th will be the first release of the top-16 seeds by the tournament committee. *Filled in with red are the play in games* *The first team of each seed plays the first team in the opposing seed, for example…
