College Hoops Schedule: Thursday, Nov. 8th, 2018
Non-ranked DI Games
‘Non-ranked DI Games’ feature schools that are outside of the AP Top 25, but both teams are DI schools. Evansville against Illinois, for example.
Chicago State Cougars (0-1, 0-0) @ Notre Dame Fighting Irish (1-0, 0-0)
Time: 7 p.m. (est)
Location: South Bend, Indiana, USA @ the Purcell Pavilion
Network: ACC Network
Game Note: Notre Dame takes a step out of the Gotham Classic for a game against Chicago State. The Fighting Irish looked impressive against Illinois-Chicago in their season opener, as this game will serve as more practice for this young team to get their feet wet.
Nicholls State Colonels (1-0) @ Louisville Cardinals (0-0, 0-0)
Time: 7 p.m. (est)
Location: Louisville, Kentucky, USA @ the KFC Yum! Center
Network: ACC Network
Game Note: Chris Mack debuts with his new program. Nicholls enters their first of five straight road games, with this being their most difficult of the five.
Morehead State Eagles (1-0, 0-0) @ Connecticut Huskies (0-0, 0-0)
Time: 7 p.m. (est)
Location: Storrs, Connecticut, USA @ the Gampel Pavilion
Network: ESPN3
Siena Saints (0-1, 0-0) @ George Washington Colonials (0-1, 0-0)
Time: 7 p.m. (est)
Location: Washington, DC, USA @ the Charles E. Smith Center
Network: ESPN+
Game Note: The Colonials are 0-1 after giving up a home lead to Stony Brook, subsequently losing in overtime. Siena loves to shoot the three, and Jamion Christian has seen his past teams all shoot at least 50% beyond the arc. Keep this in mind, Providence had to hit 13 three-pointers to beat Siena by only 10. If Siena is feeling the jump shot, George Washington may find themselves at 0-2.
Alabama State Hornets (0-1, 0-0) @ South Dakota State Jackrabbits (1-0, 0-0)
Time: 8 p.m. (est)
Location: Brookings, South Dakota, USA @ the Frost Arena
Network: ESPN+
Game Note: South Dakota State won a hard fought home game against Grand Canyon. The Jackrabbits passed their first big test of the season, as they look to enter yet another NCAA Tournament behind big man Mike Daum.
Evansville Purple Aces (0-0, 0-0) @ Illinois Fighting Illini (0-0, 0-0)
Time: 8 p.m. (est)
Location: Champaign, Illinois, USA @ the State Farm Center
