Did Anyone See Any Interesting Teams in the other Mid-Major Conference Tournaments (Off the Radar teams)

I spent some time in the last two weeks watching the semis and finals of several conferences I just never watched before.

The Wofford vs Furman game was great. Both of these teams looked really good to me. Wofford upset SoCon regular season champ Furman in the title game and I think they are a dangerous team but I believe they got Tennessee which might be a bridge too far for them. But if I were coaching, I wouldn't want to be playing a sharp shooting, good ball handling & passing team like Wofford.

Also, I saw Yale several times as it tried to complete an undefeated IVY League season (it failed, losing to Harvard in the final game of the regular season.) It hosted and won the Ivy Tournament. The team has size, toughness, a star player and experience in the NCAA. As Coach James Jones said in the press conference after the tourney "There will be a lot of coaches relieved when they see that Yale is not their first round opponent." (FYI - last year Yale knocked off Auburn in the opening round).

The WCC with Gonzaga and SMC are in a different class in terms of recognition.
I missed the Mountain West and I didn't quite know what to make of the Big West tournament. It just looked 'softer' and not as aggressive on the defensive end.

I thought the UCs final was pretty good...UCSD has some nice pieces

They didn’t make the NCAA tournament but I watched UNC Greensboro a few times this year, and if Kenyon Giles enters the portal from their team, we need to hit him with a full court press.

Only about 5’10” but he can handle the ball, shoot and finish. Shot 40% from 3 point range and avg 15 points a game.

Would love to see him in blue
