    Nice article find PhoenixRising2. I said a few months ago (was ridiculed by a couple members and rightfully so given our history) that this team is the deepest in the country 1-12 or 13 players deep and will be in the Top 15 come tourney time. I'm sticking with it. Go Dukes! This is our year.

    Its nice to see some publication recognizes this could be a very good year for the mighty Bluffites.Sure,losing
    Clark and Grant and the others is difficult but the talent coming in is pretty darn good.

    I suspect with the new norm of the transfer portal and so many teams being in a state of perpetual reloading rosters, it’s going to be easier to both over and under rate teams outside of the power conferences who don’t have as many eyes on them.

    Fine with me. Carrying a chip on the shoulder is usually good motivation.

    College Insider does a mid major top 25, the account has almost 50k followers on Twitter for what that’s worth. Here is a link:

    https://collegeinsider.com/mens-mid-major-top-25

    According to them, our non conference schedule looks like this from a mid majors ranking perspective:

    -Lipscomb #24
    -Princeton #3
    -DePaul (Power 5)
    -Milwaukee #18
    -South Dakota St (#50 based on other receiving votes)
    -UC Irvine #12

    One interesting note is they don’t have the A10 included in these rankings.
