Staff Bracket – January 26, 2020--Hoops HD

COMMENTS FROM JOHN
– Frankly, I think Chad could even be justified in swapping out Liberty and Wright State for now. Liberty flamed out (pun intended) after losing back-to-back road games to fall into a 3-way tie for first place in the A-Sun while Wright State did things to Northern Kentucky that would be illegal in most parts of the country.
