Forde Minutes: Is This the Year of the Mid-Major?--Sports Illustrated

The Minutes would break down the leading contenders as follows …

Highly likely: Saint Mary’s (3), Loyola Chicago (4), Colorado State (5) and Wyoming (6). The Gaels (20–6, No. 22 NET and No. 20 KenPom) have no bad losses, and if they take care of business at home this week against San Francisco and BYU would probably move into the lock category. Loyola (19–5, No. 28 NET and No. 24 KenPom) has no losses outside Quad 1 or 2 games, and should be O.K. if that continues the rest of the regular season. The Rams (20–3, No. 27 NET and No. 32 KenPom) and Cowboys (21–3, No. 25 NET and No. 31 KenPom) have been centerpieces in the wildly entertaining Mountain West Conference race; both must avoid trap games in The Pit this week against New Mexico.

News, Notes, and Highlighted Games: Wednesday, Feb 16--Hoops HD

HIGHLIGHTED GAMES:

-LOYOLA CHICAGO AT VALPARAISO (Missouri Valley).  Loyola Chicago is still inside the bubble, but I wouldn’t call them safe.  They need to win out through the regular season for me to feel like they can safely make the field.
