Wonder how many other mid major conferences have 2 players in the conference finals.

Golden State with Steph and Klay.
Washington State is basically a mid-major these days, right?

Lillard and McCollum are alums of low majors, not mid-majors which is even more impressive.

Lillard and McCollum are alums of low majors, not mid-majors which is even more impressive. But the question was which conferences - and the Patriot League has two. Not sure if there is another Big Sky guy still playing. However 2 mid (or low) major guys on one conference final team is pretty impressive too

Washington State is basically a mid-major these days, right? definitely a really bad team now, but washington state certainly was not a mid-major when thompson was there playing under tony bennett while in the top 10 during (one of) his national coach of the year season(s). even after washington state fell back to earth after bennett got the uva job, hard to view a pac-10 team as a mid-major.

I misread. Certainly great to see two Patriot League players still playing in mid-May. Just a pet peeve of mine when people classify every non-power conference in America as "mid majors." The A-10, MVC, WCC, MWC, etc are actual mid-major conferences. The Patriot, Big Sky, SWAC, Atlantic Sun, etc are low majors.

I know, was just being facetious about Wazzu.
Although, they would probably have finished middle of the pack in the WCC and MWC the last few years.
