Belmont, our opponent on Friday Nov. 11th comes in at #21

A bit surprised to see Samford did not make it into the Top 25, they are down at #32

Right!?! Esp with four(4) on the pre-season all-conference team. Must be a heckuva weakness, somewhere. Let's keep a sharp eye on their 2nd-half performance.

If I had to pick out one thing it would be lacking size

They have a midget backcourt

And they better hope Logan Dye stays out of foul trouble and injury free because they have absolutely nothing behind him in the front court

They will be playing small ball for sure

Below are the Top 25 Mid-Major rankings based on the Sagarin rankings for the week ending Nov. 13th, 2022. Furman stays atop the rankings after the Paladins won both of its games at home this past week, starting with a win over DII North Greenville and then a impressive win over High Major Belmont.
