ASHEVILLE, N.C. – Big South Conference regular-season co-champion UNC Asheville men's basketball is ranked 23rd in the latest CollegeInsider.com Men's Basketball Mid-Major Top-25 that was released on Monday, Feb. 27, 2017.
After a 1-1 week last week, the Bulldogs dropped from 19th to 23rd in the latest poll. Asheville has now been ranked in three straight polls as the Bulldogs were also ranked 22nd in the Feb. 13 tally.
Asheville is one of two Big South Conference teams in the latest poll as fellow Big South Conference co-champion Winthrop is 19th.
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 23rd-ranked Bulldogs is over Furman, who is currently ranked 21st 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 19th-ranked and league foe Winthrop on Thursday, Feb. 9, at Kimmel Arena is also obviously a huge win for the Bulldogs in numerous ways.
UNC Asheville men's basketball picked up their sixth Big South Conference regular-season title in the 2016-17 season (1996-97, 1997-98, 2001-02, 2007-08, 2011-12 and 2016-17) by finishing as co-champions in the league.
As noted, UNC Asheville (23-8, 15-3 Big South Conference) and Winthrop (22-6, 15-3 Big South Conference) shared this year's regular-season title. Due to numerous tiebreaking procedures, Winthrop earned the No. 1 seed in the Big South Conference Men's Basketball Tournament and will play host to the quarterfinals and semifinals. The highest remaining seed will host the championship game.
The Big South Conference regular-season co-champion UNC Asheville men's basketball team will next open the 2017 league tournament at 1 p.m. on Thursday, March 2, in Rock Hill, S.C.
The second-seeded Bulldogs will take on the winner of the seventh-seeded Campbell-10th-seeded Presbyterian game that will be contested Tuesday, Feb. 28, in Buies Creek, N.C.
