Snubbed last season, Monmouth now most dangerous mid-major in college basketball

Posted Feb 27, 2017
Monmouth, coached by former UNC point guard King Rice, enters the postseason on a 16-game winning streak. Only Vermont (17) has won more in a row. A year older, and with more balance, Monmouth is three wins away from an automatic bid. The Hawks haven’t hauled in headlines this season, but they lead the short list of the most dangerous Cinderella candidates. (CBS Sports)
