Not for nothing but Kent State is not exactly Sisters Of the Poor- they have a nice history. Detroit-Mercy nearly beat ND at ND, & Duke struggled vs some no-name a coulpa nights ago. The lower-middle BE teams are gonna be tested vs these mid-majors, and losses should not come as a surprise.
That being said, Huggy will have to do a masterful coaching job to get a bid this year- Truck Bryant is not the answer!
Duke struggled against Belmont who are one of the top mid-majors in the country this year (despite being in a horrible conference). As I write this Belmont's down 3 at Memphis. Not disputing the overall point, but kent St. Detroit and Belmont all have good teams this year.
