Friday:
We get to see some really fun mid-day action that honestly reminds me of November or even some of the conference championship weeks!
MercyHurst @ New Haven | 1:00, NEC Front Row
Both teams are in good spots in NEC play, with New Haven being 4-2, while Mercyhurst is 3-3. This should be a close, exciting mid-day matchup!
Stetson @ Austin Peay | 1:00, ESPN+
This matchup in Clarksville should be fun, and features A-Sun leading AP who will look to get to 7-1.
FGCU @ Lipscomb | 1:00, ESPN+
Another key A-Sun matchup! Lipscomb is 6-1 in conference and looking to keep up with Peay!
Kennesaw State @ Louisiana Tech | 2:00, ESPN+
This C-USA matchup is extremely important! Both teams are right in the middle of the conference. Louisiana Tech is favored by 1.5 here.
Furman @ UNC Greensboro | 3:00, ESPN+
Both teams are 4-3 in SoCon play, but overall, Furman has been the more impressive team on the year. They’re favored by 4.5 coming into this one!
Saint Louis @ St. Bonaventure | 5:30, ESPN2
This matchup really feels like one that Saint Louis should win and win big, however, SBU will put up a fight. SLU favored by 8.5, and this is the kind of game they need to take care of to be an at-large in March.
Indiana @ Rutgers | 6:00, FS1
IU is favored by just 7.5 in Piscataway here. Rutgers is objectively not good, and IU has faltered recently. If IU wants to dance, they cannot afford a loss here.
High Point @ Radford | 7:00, ESPN+
Big time Big South Battle! Radford will host the conference favorites with a chance to pull even with them. This will have lasting implications down the stretch.
LIU @ Stonehill | 7:00, NEC FronT Row
LIU is leading the NEC this year, however, they now have to head to a competitive Stonehill team where they will face a bit of a test.
The Citadel @ East Tennessee State | 7:00, ESPN+
ETSU should roll here, but they are one of the SoCon leaders right now so wanted to include them!
Middle Tennessee @ Jacksonville State | 7:00, ESPN+
Yet another extremely important matchup in the CUSA. This time in Jacksonville (AL). ESPN projects this as a complete toss-up!
Ohio State @ Michigan | 8:00, FOX
The game, basketball edition, part 1! Is Michigan unbeatable still? Have teams found their weaknesses? Can OSU exploit these? We will find out a lot about both of these teams in this monumental rivalry matchup! Michigan favored by 15.5 and remains a 1 seed coming in. OSU is just on the edge of the bracket, either just in or just out!
Marquette @ Butler | 8:00, FS1
Butler comes into this one favored by 7.5. The Dawgs are suddenly looking like the best bubble team in the Big East. Right now, Marquette is the opposite and coming in 2-7 in the Big East. This is a can’t lose for Butler.
Akron @ Ohio | 8:00. ESPNU
Friday night MACTION! I love this in-state matchup, and I really think we will see a close, high scoring game here. Akron is favored by 8.5 as they try to keep pace with Miami (OH)!
Utah State @ Colorado State | 10:00, FS1
Utah State comes into this favored by 3.5 points. With recent form, USU really needs to win this and get back on track. Currently they’re squarely on the bubble and CSU is not a tournament level team.
