Wow, this is more great publicity and coverage of Rev & the Pilots! ESPN's Fran Fraschilla has listed UP as one of the 10 best mid-majors. He listed Butler, Gonzaga, Siena, Old Dominion, Utah St, W Kentucky, N Iowa, VCU, Akron and Portland.

Former Stanford assistant coach Eric Reveno has quietly built the next in the line of WCC teams trying to knock Gonzaga off its perch at the top of the league.

All five starters return from last season's 19-13 club. The Pilots were one of the best 3-point shooting teams in college basketball, knocking down 42 percent of their shots, and are led by outstanding guards Nik Raivio, T.J. Campbell and Jared Stohl. Robin Smeulders leads an underrated front line for Reveno.
