Women’s college basketball Bubble Watch: Which midmajors could crash the party?--The Athletic
As we enter the final week and change leading up to Selection Sunday, I want to take a moment to highlight some teams that have flown under the radar. A multitude of programs have had special seasons to varying degrees, but particularly in the mid-majors, quite a few teams are putting together landmark seasons. While they may not wind up in the Big Dance, they’re fighting for the chance to play their way in, and could crash the party.
Purdue-Fort Wayne
The Mastodons have been a D1 school since only 2002 and didn’t have their first winning season until 2011. Maria Marchesano has secured a second straight 20-win season in Fort Wayne, Ind., tying the program record for wins (23) while jostling with Green Bay and Cleveland State for control of the Horizon League. The Mastodons need to win the conference tournament to make it to the Big Dance for the first time, but this season has already been a massive success.
Midmajors
Projected in: Albany, Ball State, Columbia, Fairfield, Fairleigh Dickinson, FGCU, Gonzaga, Grand Canyon, Green Bay, Hawaii, Harvard, High Point, James Madison, Lehigh, Middle Tennessee, Missouri State, Montana State, Norfolk State, North Carolina A&T, North Carolina-Greensboro, South Dakota State, Southeastern Louisiana, Southern, Tennessee Tech, UNLV, UTSA
