This Division I squad plays solid competition in schools like Rhode Island, VCU, Dayton, and St. Bonaventure. NBA star Steph Curry put the school on the map back in 2007 when he led the Wildcats in a handful of historic upsets against top-ranked teams during the NCAA Tournament. Today, the team is still one of the top schools in the Atlantic 10 and provides a fantastic small school gameday experience.
