Mid-major and lower Division I women's basketball coaches, players and teams often toil away in obscurity. In his series on Mid-Majors Worth Watching, Full Court analyst Bob Corwin throws some fresh light on several of these programs, and at the same time, tests our readers' knowledge of mid-major women's basketball.
