Welcome to Mid-Major Madness!

As basketball season launches, we at Mid-Major Madness are thrilled to invite our passionate readers to become the selection committee for our Men's Player of the Week awards. Each week, we'll showcase outstanding performances from the mid-major ranks and let YOU vote for the standout athlete that deserves recognition.

This Week's Featured Players

Based on the incredible performances from the week of November 3-9, here are our top five nominees:

TJ Long - Vermont

After a challenging last season where Vermont missed the NCAA Tournament, graduate senior guard TJ Long is back to lead his team. His performance this season marks the Catamounts' resurgence with a record of 3-0.

“Last season was tough, but we're poised for a bounce back, and I'm feeling great!” - TJ Long

Long has made headlines with a remarkable 40-point game against Brown, marking a historic moment as it was only the third double-double in America East Conference history with at least 40 points. His dynamic scoring ability and leadership on the court is undeniable.

DJ Smith - Campbell

Under new head coach John Andrzejek, DJ Smith has stepped up significantly. He transferred from Robert Morris and has quickly adapted to his vital role. Even in tough games against ranked teams like Wisconsin, Smith has shown his skill by notching 23 points in the opener.

“Every game, I'm learning to bring new dimensions to my play and help my team.” - DJ Smith

CJ Anthony - Iona

Acclaimed coach Dan Geriot has revitalized Iona, and CJ Anthony has stepped into the spotlight, scoring a career-high 24 points in a sprint to victory against Hofstra.

Greg Gordon - LIU

Gordon's arrival from UAB has added depth to LIU's roster. His impressive debut game included a solid stat line of 11 points, seven rebounds, and four steals against Notre Dame. However, his explosive performance against IU Indy, where he scored 29 points, showcased his potential to elevate the team's performance.

TJ Johnson - VMI

Last but certainly not least, TJ Johnson from VMI is making big waves this season. He led his team to two victories with impressive double-doubles, including 32 points and 14 rebounds in a comeback win. His fierce determination and adaptability have proven to be invaluable.
