Last year's breakout star in college basketball is back.
All the buzz, all the accolades, all the attention -- it was all warranted -- and frankly, all the many imitators are both understandable and mildly flattering. Indeed, KC's Mid-Major Top 10 returns for another season of extreme excellence, highlighting the brightest stars and programs in men's college basketball beyond the purview of the narrow-scoped.
As a reminder, our definition of "mid-majors" excludes programs from the American, ACC, Big East, Big Ten, Big 12, Pac-12 and SEC, as well as the Gonzaga Bulldogs. It includes, as we like to refer to them, the Power 25 conferences.
