College Basketball
College Hoops Schedule: Saturday, Nov. 10th, 2018
Ranked Game(s)
‘Ranked Games’ feature schools that find themselves within the Associated Press (AP) Top 25 Rankings, regardless of who their opponent is. Quinnipiac versus Villanova, for example.
Morehead State Eagles (1-1, 0-0) @ #16 Syracuse Orange (1-0, 0-0)
Time: 6:45 p.m. (est)
Location: Syracuse, New York, USA @ the Carrier Dome
Network: ACC Network
Holy Cross Crusaders (1-0, 0-0) @ #19 Michigan Wolverines (1-0, 0-0)
Time: 7:30 p.m. (est)
Location: Ann Arbor, Michigan, USA @ the Crisler Center
Quinnipiac Bobcats (0-0, 0-0) @ #9 Villanova Wildcats (1-0, 0-0)
Time: 8 p.m. (est)
Location: Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, USA @ the Wells Fargo Center
Network: FS2
Game Note: Villanova didn’t dominate in their season-opening game, but there’s a whole lot of season left to improve. Wildcat fans will hope that improvement comes before conference play, as the Big East is a gauntlet this season.
Ball State Cardinals (1-0, 0-0) @ #24 Purdue Boilermakers (1-0, 0-0)
Time: 8 p.m. (est)
Location: West Lafayette, Indiana, USA @ the Mackey Arena
Game Note: Despite how good Buffalo is, Ball State is the top choice to win the MAC if not the Bulls. An upset here is definitely possible, but expect Purdue to win this game by crashing the glass and playing physical at the rim. If Ball State settles into jump shots, this game could be an upset alert.
Texas Southern Tigers (1-0, 0-0) @ #3 Gonzaga Bulldogs (1-0, 0-0)
Time: 10 p.m. (est)
Location: Spokane, Washington, USA @ the McCarthey Athletic Center
Game Note: Texas Southern is notorious for playing a ridiculously challenging non-conference schedule. It finally paid off when they knocked off Baylor in their season-opener. They now play the third best team in the country, an experienced and talented Gonzaga team that is worthy of National Championship considerations. If lightning strikes twice then perhaps Texas Southern is much better than anyone thought.
Non-ranked DI Games
‘Non-ranked DI Games’ feature schools that are outside of the AP Top 25, but both teams are DI schools. Oregon State hosting Wyoming, for example.
Maryland-Eastern Shore Hawks (0-1, 0-0) @ North Carolina State Wolfpack (1-0, 0-0)
Time: Noon (est)
Location: Raleigh, North Carolina, USA @ the PNC Arena
Network: ACC Network
Charleston Cougars (1-0, 0-0) @ Western Carolina Catamounts (0-1, 0-0)
Time: Noon (est)
Location: Cullowhee, North Carolina, USA @ the Ramsey Center
Network: ESPN3

Network: ESPN3
Wofford Terriers (0-1, 0-0) @ High Point Panthers (0-1, 0-0)
Time: 2 p.m. (est)
Location: High Point, North Carolina, USA @ the Millis Athletic Center
Network: ESPN+
Game Note: Despite losing, the Wofford Terriers looked very good in their home game against North Carolina. Tubby Smith’s Panthers still have a lot of work to do, but can improve as the season prolongs.
Southeast Missouri State Redhawks (0-1, 0-0) @ Bradley Braves (1-0, 0-0)
Time: 2 p.m. (est)
Location: Peoria, Illinois, USA @ the Carver Arena
Network: ESPN3
Jacksonville Dolphins (0-1, 0-0) @ Northern Arizona Lumberjacks (0-0, 0-0)
Time: 2 p.m. (est)
Location: Flagstaff, Arizona, USA @ the J. Lawrence Walkup Skydome
Game Note: Jacksonville suffered a very disappointing loss to Florida A&M. Considering Florida A&M only won nine games last season, the Dolphins need to begin improving quickly or it could be a long season for this team.
Jackson State Tigers (0-1, 0-0) @ St. Bonaventure Bonnies (0-1, 0-0)
Time: 2 p.m. (est)
Location: Saint Bonaventure, New York, USA @ the Reilly Center
Network: ESPN+

Time: 3 p.m. (est)
Location: Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, USA @ the Tom Gola Arena
Network: ESPN3
Arkansas-Pine Bluff Golden Lions (0-1, 0-0) @ Colorado State Rams (1-0, 0-0)
Time: 4 p.m. (est)
Location: Fort Collins, Colorado, USA @ the Moby Arena
Tennessee State Tigers (0-0, 0-0) @ Lipscomb Bisons (1-0, 0-0)
Time: 4 p.m. (est)
Location: Nashville, Tennessee, USA
Network: ESPN+
Game Note: Lipscomb is favored by many to dethrone Florida Gulf Coast once again as the Atlantic Sun champion. It is possible, but the Bisons will need to keep winning which includes this home game that favors Lipscomb.
Western Michigan Broncos (1-0, 0-0) @ Mississippi Rebels (0-0, 0-0)
Time: 4 p.m. (est)
Location: Oxford, Mississippi, USA @ The Pavilion at Ole Miss
Network: SEC Network+
Bethune-Cookman Wildcats (0-1, 0-0) @ Marquette Golden Eagles (1-0, 0-0)
Time: 4 p.m. (est)
Location: Milwaukee, Wisconsin, USA @ the Fiserv Forum
Network: FS2
Evansville Purple Aces (0-1, 0-0) @ Xavier Musketeers (1-0, 0-0)
Time: 4 p.m. (est)
Location: Cincinnati, Ohio, USA @ the Cintas Center
Game Note: This is another good game for Xavier to continue learning under new head coach Travis Steele. For Evansville, they were blown out in their last game at Illinois, as it’s difficult to see an upset in this one.
Oklahoma State Cowboys (0-0, 0-0) @ Charlotte 49ers (0-1, 0-0)
Time: 4 p.m. (est)
Location: Charlotte, North Carolina, USA @ the Halton Arena
Network: ESPN+
Akron Zips (1-0) @ Youngstown State Penguins (0-1, 0-0)
Time: 4:30 p.m. (est)
Location: Cleveland, Ohio, USA @ the Wolstein Center
Network: ESPN3
South Carolina State Bulldogs (1-0, 0-0) @ Tulsa Golden Hurricane (1-0, 0-0)
Time: 4:30 p.m. (est)
Location: Tulsa, Oklahoma, USA @ the Reynolds Center
William & Mary Tribe (0-0, 0-0) @ Duquesne Dukes (0-0, 0-0)
Time: 5 p.m. (est)
Location: Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, USA @ the A.J. Palumbo Center
Network: ESPN+
Maine Black Bears (0-2, 0-0) @ San Francisco Dons (1-0, 0-0)
Time: 5 p.m. (est)
Location: San Francisco, California, USA @ the War Memorial Gymnasium
Game Note: San Francisco ran through California-Davis, and should have no issues here. The Dons are dark horse contenders to the WCC, although Gonzaga sits on that mountaintop for now.
Delaware Blue Hens (0-1, 0-0) @ Saint Peter’s Peacocks (1-0, 0-0)
Time: 6 p.m. (est)
Location: Jersey City, New Jersey, USA @ the Yanitelli Center
Game Note: The Blue Hens nearly came back from a 22-point deficit against Maryland, but fell short. Saint Peter’s also came back in their home opener but won. This is an intriguing mid-major matchup between two schools who have the talent to compete in their respected conferences.
Southern Jaguars (0-1, 0-0) @ Baylor Bears (0-1, 0-0)
Time: 6 p.m. (est)
Location: Waco, Texas, USA @ the Ferrell Center
Game Note: Baylor probably suffered the worst loss of any power-five conference team a few nights ago. Baylor relinquished a lead and blew a home-opener to Texas Southern. That is without a doubt concerning for any team that has to play in the Big XII.
Central Connecticut State Blue Devils (1-0, 0-0) @ Georgetown Hoyas (1-0, 0-0)
Time: 6 p.m. (est)
Location: Washington, DC, USA @ the Capital One Arena
Network: FS2
Miami-Ohio RedHawks (0-0, 0-0) @ Butler Bulldogs (0-0, 0-0)
Time: 7 p.m. (est)
Location: Indianapolis, Indiana, USA @ the Hinkle Fieldhouse

Time: 7 p.m. (est)
Location: Dayton, Ohio, USA @ the University of Dayton Arena
Network: ESPN+

Time: 7 p.m. (est)
Location: Poughkeepsie, New York, USA @ the McCann Arena
Network: ESPN3
Fairfield Stags (0-1, 0-0) @ Bucknell Bison (1-0, 0-0)
Time: 7 p.m. (est)
Location: Lewisburg, Pennsylvania, USA @ the Sojka Pavilion
Game Note: Bucknell is one of a handful of teams that can win the Patriot League, as they proved their worth by knocking off St. Bonaventure in their opening game.
North Dakota Fighting Hawks (1-0, 0-0) @ Milwaukee Panthers (0-1, 0-0)
Time: 7 p.m. (est)
Location: Milwaukee, Wisconsin, USA @ the UW-Milwaukee Panther Arena
Network: ESPN3
Kent State Golden Flash (0-0, 0-0) @ Cleveland State Vikings (0-1, 0-0)
Time: 7 p.m. (est)
Location: Cleveland, Ohio, USA @ Wolstein Center
Network: ESPN3
Tennessee-Martin Skyhawks (1-0, 0-0) @ Western Kentucky Hilltoppers (0-1, 0-0)
Time: 7 p.m. (est)
Location: Bowling Green, Kentucky, USA @ the E.A. Diddle Arena
Network: ESPN3
Game Note: Western Kentucky competed nicely in their opening game against Washington, but finished terribly. The Hilltoppers showed they can hang with top teams, but they will need to work on closing those games out better.
Eastern Kentucky Colonels (0-1, 0-0) @ Chattanooga Mocs (1-0, 0-0)
Time: 7 p.m. (est)
Location: Chattanooga, Tennessee, USA @ the McKenzie Arena
Presbyterian Blue Hose (0-1, 0-0) @ Tennessee Tech Golden Eagles (0-1, 0-0)
Time: 7 p.m. (est)
Location: Cookeville, Tennessee, USA @ the Hooper Eblen Center
Network: ESPN+
Troy Trojans (1-0, 0-0) @ Saint Louis Billikens (1-0, 0-0)
Time: 8 p.m. (est)
Location: St. Louis, Missouri, USA @ the Chaifetz Arena
Network: ESPN+
Fordham Rams (1-0, 0-0) @ Houston Baptist Huskies (0-1, 0-0)
Time: 8 p.m. (est)
Location: Houston, Texas, USA @ the Sharp Gymnasium
Wright State Raiders (1-0, 0-0) @ Murray State Racers (0-0, 0-0)
Time: 8 p.m. (est)
Location: Murray, Kentucky, USA @ the CSFB Center
Network: ESPN+
Game Note: Wright State showed no signs of slowing down after winning the Horizon League last season. This team is definitely poised to win another tournament but will need to win road games like this. Northern Kentucky is just one of a few teams that could be breathing down the Raiders’ neck in the conference.
Northern Iowa Panthers (1-0, 0-0) @ Texas-Arlington Mavericks (1-0, 0-0)
Time: 8 p.m. (est)
Location: Arlington, Texas, USA @ the College Park Center
Network: ESPN+
Winthrop Eagles (0-1, 0-0) @ Southern Illinois-Edwardsville (0-1, 0-0)

Time: 8 p.m. (est)
Location: Nashville, Tennessee, USA
Network: ESPN+
Idaho State Bengals (0-1, 0-0) @ Boise State Broncos (0-0, 0-0)
Time: 9 p.m. (est)
Location: Boise, Idaho, USA @ the Taco Bell Arena
Southern Utah Thunderbirds (1-0, 0-0) @ San Jose Spartans (1-0, 0-0)
Time: 9 p.m. (est)
Location: San Jose, California, USA @ the Event Center
Delaware State Hornets (0-1, 0-0) @ Grand Canyon Lopes (0-1, 0-0)
Time: 9 p.m. (est)
Location: Phoenix, Arizona, USA @ the GCU Arena
Network: ESPN3
Game Note: Despite losing, the Lopes played well traveling to the tough environment of South Dakota State. Grand Canyon seems ready to make a run at the WAC, as this game should jump-start their winning ways this season.
Portland Pilots (1-0, 0-0) vs. North Texas Mean Green (1-0, 0-0)
Time: 9:30 p.m. (est)
Location: Honolulu, Hawaii, USA @ the Stan Sheriff Center
California State Northridge Matadors (0-1, 0-0) @ Pepperdine Waves (1-0, 0-0)
Time: 10 p.m. (est)
Location: Malibu, California, USA @ the Firestone Fieldhouse
Game Note: Both teams were impressive in the season-opener, as Cal State Northridge nearly took out New Mexico. If the Matadors win this game they could be on track for a fairytale season.
Loyola-Marymount Lions (1-0, 0-0) @ Nevada-Las Vegas Rebels (0-0, 0-0)
Time: 10 p.m. (est)
Location: Las Vegas, Nevada, USA @ the Thomas & Mack Center

Tuskegee Golden Tigers @ Florida A&M Rattlers (1-0, 0-0)
Time: 1 p.m. (est)
Location: Tallahassee, Florida, US @ the Al Lawson Center
Game Note: Florida A&M defeated Jacksonville in their season-opener, which is an improvement considering this team only won nine games last season.
North Park Vikings @ Western Illinois Leathernecks (0-1, 0-0)
Time: 3 p.m. (est)
Location: Macomb, Illinois, USA @ the Western Hall
Brevard College Tornados @ South Carolina-Upstate Spartans (0-1, 0-0)
Time: 4 p.m. (est)
Location: Spartanburg, South Carolina, USA @ the Hodge Center
Network: ESPN+
West Coast Baptist Eagles @ California State Fullerton Titans (0-1, 0-0)
Time: 5 p.m. (est)
Location: Fullerton, California, USA @ the Titan Gym
Game Note: The Titans surprised many in their season-opening game, as they were 20 point underdogs to Arizona State. They ended up taking the Sun Devils to overtime, subsequently putting them on the radar for Big West contenders.
Bemidji State Beavers @ South Dakota State Jackrabbits (2-0, 0-0)
Time: 5 p.m. (est)
Location: Brookings, South Dakota, USA @ the Frost Arena
Game Note: Daum continues to impress, along with this entire Jackrabbits team that has made two straight March Madness appearances. South Dakota State actually has an outside chance of finishing the season within the top-25.
Menlo Oaks @ Long Beach State 49ers (0-0, 0-0)
Time: 7 p.m (est)
Location: Long Beach, California, USA @ the Walter Pyramid
Wilberforce Bulldogs @ Toledo Rockets (0-0, 0-0)
