NCAA Basketball: Bracketology takeaways from the opening two months of 2022-23--Heat Check CBB

… and not just for the high-majors

Bryant and Longwood made history last season by each earning their first-ever NCAA Tournament bids. As we look ahead to this season’s March Madness, a few mid-majors are in a position to follow in those footsteps. 

Early in the conference season, my bracketology awards mid-major auto-bids based on the intra-league rankings across a weighted combination of metrics used by the selection committee. UMass Lowell, Youngstown State, Grambling, and SIU Edwardsville all currently lead their respective conferences in that weighted average – none have ever reached the NCAA Tournament.

There are a few others also looking to stay in the hunt. Fort Wayne could contend with Youngstown State in the Horizon League for its first trip
