a pretty good win...

Akron had beat MS State earlier in the season...

MT had two guys with double doubles

Good ooc win...I would love to break into the Top 25.

TROY beat Miami(OH) 73-60.

Sun Belt > MAC

Start with being top 10 in the next mid major poll. If you guys don't lose in December, then maybe you'll end up Top 25.

That would mean beating UAB, Belmont and Ole Miss.

Keep up the good work blue pegasus's.

Nice job, MT

It will not take an undefeated December to reach the top 25. I don't think we'll be ranked tomorrow, but if we're sitting at 10-1 on the 12th we should be and if we're sitting at 11-1 on the 19th we will be.

You need to beat UAB, UTM and BEL to even be considered for the top 25.

Beating Ole Miss might get you there.

There are many other teams waiting to get in the Top 25 in front of MT.

You guys are good, but it takes a little bit to climb.

You do realize that Dec. 12th is only a week away and Mississippi St. JUST cracked the top 25 with wins over Arizona and Texas A&M - both ranked.

We were getting votes last week and I wouldn't be shocked to see us back in the getting votes category tomorrow, probably won't happen, but wouldn't be shocked.

So much for the Sun Belt being a cakewalk for the MAC. I saw some Akron fans suggesting the game would actually be close and that they expected to win because Middle didn't have any quality wins against a Mississippi State. Middle Tennessee has a dang good men's team this year.

Don't think this is the poll you're talking about, but it has MT at #13 and Denver at #7...

The Mid-Major Power 15

1. Creighton (7-0) -- Doug McDermott is the real deal, folks. And so are the Bluejays.
2. Harvard (8-0) -- Followed a win over nationally ranked Florida State with victories over UCF and at Vermont.
3. Wichita State (5-2) -- Blowout of UNLV proof that Missouri Valley isn't a one-team race.
4. Gonzaga (5-1) -- Suffered first loss of the season to Illinois over the weekend.
5. Cleveland State (8-1) -- The team to beat in the Horizon League. The Vikings' 5-0 road record includes wins at Vandy, Kent State and Detroit.
6. Iona (6-1) -- The Gaels have the No. 1 scoring offense in the country (91.0 ppg) and the best mid-major trio in America.
7. Denver (6-1) -- The Pioneers snapped Utah State's 33-game home winning streak last week.
8. Northern Iowa (7-1) -- Another team that will make the Missouri Valley race very interesting.
9. Saint Mary's (5-1) -- Hitting 50.6 percent of its field goal attempts. The beat goes on in Moraga.
10. BYU (6-2) -- The Cougars' 18.4 assists per game are ninth in the nation. Saturday's win over Oregon was a big one.
11. Murray State (9-0) -- So much for that coaching transition. The undefeated Racers are the real deal.
12. Belmont (5-2) -- Since early losses at Duke (by one) and Memphis, Bruins have won five straight. Expect another 30-win season.
13. Middle Tennessee (7-1) -- Have a 20-point win at UCLA, and the only blemish is a double-overtime loss against Belmont.
14. Ohio (5-1) -- Five-point loss to Louisville came down to the final minute. So did last week's impressive win at Marshall.
15. Long Beach State (4-3) -- The 49ers have struggled since road win at Pitt, but they're still dangerous. Watch out, Kansas.
