NCAA Basketball's Top Mid-Majors for Past Decade

StormingTheFloor.net has released a list of the decade's top 10 mid-major college basketball programs.

The Western Kentucky Hilltoppers make the list at #8:

8. Western Kentucky: 223-95, 5, 5 (5 auto), 3-5 The money's always greener in the Big Six, but the grass usually isn't for a mid-major coach. Dennis Felton found that out after taking the Hilltoppers to three tourney berths in the early part of the decade, and parlaying that into a disappointing tenure at Georgia. Seriously, it took a tornado to get his Dawgs into the Big Dance. Darrin Horn presided over the Sweet 16 run in 2008, and decamped for... the SEC. Hm. Anyway, some great players passed through the program, a legendary shot was made, and Big Red is still awesome. That's a great program, right there.
