Mid-Major Madness Power Rankings
ASHEVILLE, N.C. – The Big South Conference-leading UNC Asheville men's basketball team is ranked 19th in the latest CollegeInsider.com Men's Basketball Mid-Major Top-25 that was released on Monday, Feb. 20, 2017.
The Bulldogs moved up from 22nd to 19th in the latest poll. Asheville had received votes in the Mid-Major Top-25 on 12 different occasions prior to being officially ranked in the Feb. 13 edition of the poll.
Asheville (22-7, 14-2 Big South Conference) is one of two Big South Conference teams in the latest poll as Winthrop is just behind the Bulldogs at No. 23.
The Mid-Major Poll is made up of teams from the following conferences: America East, Atlantic Sun, Big Sky, Big South, Big West, Colonial, Horizon, Independents, Ivy, Metro Atlantic, Mid-American, Mid-Eastern, Missouri Valley, Northeast, Ohio Valley, Patriot, Southern, Southland, Southwestern, Summit, Sun Belt, West Coast and Western Athletic.
The Bulldogs have beaten numerous teams that were either ranked at the time or are currently ranked in the Mid-Major Top-25 for example in Siena, Elon, Furman and Winthrop.
Based on the latest poll, one of the biggest wins of the season for the 19th-ranked Bulldogs is over Furman, who is currently ranked 16th in the Mid-Major Poll. The Bulldogs picked up a 64-58 road win over the Paladins in Greenville, S.C. on Tuesday, Nov. 22, 2016.
UNC Asheville's 104-101 double overtime win over current 23rd-ranked and league foe Winthrop on Thursday, Feb. 9, at Kimmel Arena is also obviously a huge win for the Bulldogs in numerous ways.
In addition to the top-20 ranking in the CollegeInsider.com Men's Basketball Mid-Major Top-25, UNC Asheville men's basketball is also 22nd in the Mid-Major Madness Power Rankings.
The Bulldogs will be featured twice on national television this week with Asheville first traveling to Boiling Springs, N.C. on Thursday, Feb. 23, to take on Gardner-Webb in a 9 p.m. tipoff on ESPNU.
Winners of nine straight, Asheville will then close out the regular-season by playing host to Liberty at 2 p.m. on Saturday, Feb. 25, at Kimmel Arena. The game will be televised by the American Sports Network.
