23. Middle Tennessee State Blue Raiders

Previous Ranking: 24

Record: 19-3 (9-0 Conference USA)

Middle Tennessee stands alone atop the C-USA after holding off Louisiana Tech. Their two-game lead seems secure right now, but consecutive road trips to Texas-San Antonio and UTEP will continue to test their resolve.

JaCorey Williams was dominant in the win over Tech. The former Arkansas Razorback scored 19, along with 11 rebounds, in the 10-point victory. Giddy Potts had 17 and Reggie Upshaw chipped in with 14. The Blue Raiders are easily one of the best mid-majors in the nation and are one of those teams to watch in March.
