If anyone in this conference has the potential to really seperate themselves from the rest it is Middle. We had (as I predicted...I'm so vain sometimes) the ideal situation to get 2 teams in the Dance last year...both ran pretty much rough-shot over the conference, had some nice OOC games and wins and some appealing players. I don't see that happening this year...if there is a race to the top of this conference it is because MTSU has decided to build its nest in some of the lower branches...they ought to Gonzaga the Sun Belt this season. I don't think thats to be taken as the SBC taking a step back, either...the depth of this conference is rapidly improving
