  &lt;p&gt;An Automatic Bid means you've made it. You've made it to the Big Dance (NCAA Tournament). Every year there's at least 1 Mid Major upsetting Major. Last year Davidson made a run. Who will it be this year?&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;An Automatic Bid means you've made it. You've made it to the Big Dance (NCAA Tournament). Every year there's at least 1 Mid Major upsetting Major. Last year Davidson made a run. Who will it be this year?&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;23-10, 19-15 and&amp;nbsp;21-11. These are the three records of the Mid Major Automatic Bids: East Tennessee State, Morehead State and Radford. All of these played hard and long to win there non-respected Confrences. East Tennessee State completely demolished their opponent, Morehead State won on a last few points and Radford won it pretty easily. Now my question to you was who can make a run in the tourney. East Tennessee State has a pretty balanced team. But Morehead State and Radford are fuled by one person (still a team effort). For Morehead Sate it's Kenneth Faried, a 6'8&quot; 215 pound sophomore who wears his hair long and his heart on his sleeve. For Radford it's Artsiom Parakhouski, a 6'11&quot; 260 pound junior who knows how the weather is up there. All three teams look awful good. But how will they match up against the nation's elite? Only fate will decide.&lt;/p&gt;
