With the greatest sporting event known to man kind approaching in less than a month, the NCAA Basketball Tournament brings us joy, excitement, and some of the most fun one sports fan can enjoy. Today, and every column leading up to the tournament we’ll examine one of the lesser known mid-major teams that have a realistic shot at cracking the sweet sixteen, as well as some of the bigger upsets set to take place as teams improve and make cases for a spot in the first round of 65.
Mid Majors We Like this Week: UNC Asheville. After a convincing 71-56 win over perennial Big South favorite Winthrop, it seems as though there is a new top dog in town. The Bulldogs of Asheville will most likely land a 13 or 14 seed come tourney time as long as they can stay strong and not stray off course. It also doesn’t hurt to have the 7-7 Center Kenny George on your team. The guy can essentially dunk without jumping. If they continue to gain confidence look for Asheville to be a potential 13-over-4 upset in the first round.
