College Basketball
College Hoops Schedule: Tuesday, Nov. 13th, 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.
Memphis Tigers (1-0) @ #22 Louisiana State Tigers (2-0)
Time: 7 p.m. (est)
Location: Baton Rouge, Louisiana, USA @ the Pete Maravich Assembly Center
Network SEC Network
Game Note: Will Wade’s group looks ready to battle this year, surviving an early season challenger against North Carolina-Greensboro. LSU’s non-conference schedule is actually filled with solid mid-major programs such as Furman, Houston, and Louisiana Tech.
Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets (1-0) @ #5 Tennessee Volunteers (2-0)
Time: 9 p.m. (est)
Location: Knoxville, Tennessee, USA @ the Thompson-Boling Arena
Network: ESPN2
Non-ranked DI Games
‘Non-ranked DI Games’ feature schools that are outside of the AP Top 25, but both teams are DI schools.
Wisconsin Badgers (1-0) @ Xavier Musketeers (2-0)
Time: 6:30 p.m. (est)
Location: Cincinnati, Ohio, USA @ the Cintas Center
Network: FS1
Game Note: This game may have huge March Madness implications late in the season. Despite both teams being unbeaten, neither has been overly impressive. Wisconsin beat Coppin State, while Xavier barely escaped Evansville and having to rally from behind to beat Indiana Purdue Indianapolis.
North Carolina-Asheville Bulldogs (1-0) @ North Carolina State Wolfpack (2-0)
Time: 7 p.m. (est)
Location: Raleigh, North Carolina, USA @ the PNC Arena
Network: ACC Network
Stephen F. Austin Lumberjacks (2-0) @ Miami-Florida Hurricanes (1-0)
Time: 7 p.m. (est)
Location: Coral Gables, Florida, USA @ the Watsco Center
Network: ESPNU
Game Note: Before the season started, many would’ve said this has upset potential written all over it. Stephen F. Austin has performed well against major schools, including running the Southland Conference in recent years. However, the Lumberjacks have underperformed in their first two games, as the Hurricanes should be fine in this one.
Rhode Island Rams (1-0) @ Charleston Cougars (2-0)
Time: 7 p.m. (est)
Location: Charleston, South Carolina, USA @ the TD Arena
Game Note: This is a very intriguing mid-major game. Rhode Island is looking to show that they can continue success past Dan Hurley’s departure, while the Cougars are still looking to build off what was a pretty impressive season a year ago.
North Carolina-Greensboro Spartans (1-1) @ North Carolina-Wilmington Seahawks (0-2)
Time: 7 p.m. (est)
Location: Wilmington, North Carolina, USA @ the Trask Coliseum
Southern Jaguars (0-2) @ Louisville Cardinals (1-0)
Time: 7 p.m. (est)
Location: Louisville, Kentucky, USA @ the KFC Yum! Center
Network: ACC Network
Norfolk State Spartans (2-1) @ South Carolina Gamecocks (1-1)
Time: 7 p.m. (est)
Location: Columbia, South Carolina, USA @ the Colonial Life Arena
Network: SEC Network+
Game Note: Two years ago Frank Martin led the Gamecocks to a Final Four appearance. Now, South Carolina is coming off a home loss to Stony Brook. Stony Brook is 2-0 after two impressive wins, but South Carolina needs to win those sort of games to make the NCAA Tournament or even compete in the SEC this season.
Georgia Bulldogs (1-0) @ Temple Owls (2-0)
Time: 7 p.m. (est)
Location: Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, USA @ the Liacouras Center
Network: ESPN3
Holy Cross Crusaders (1-1) @ Providence Friars (1-1)
Time: 7 p.m. (est)
Location: Providence, Rhode Island, USA @ the Dunkin Donuts Center
Network: FS2
Canisius Golden Griffins (0-0) @ Bucknell Bison (1-1)
Time: 7 p.m. (est)
Location: Lewisburg, Pennsylvania, USA @ the Sojka Pavilion
Game Note: The Golden Griffins begin their season on the road in this game, a team who impressed last year in the MAAC. They can contend in-conference, but this will be a good early season game to see where they fall outside the MAAC.
Marist Red Foxes (1-1) @ Lehigh Mountain Hawks (1-1)
Time: 7 p.m. (est)
Location: Bethlehem, Pennsylvania, USA @ the Stabler Arena
George Mason Patriots (0-2) @ Georgia Southern Eagles (1-0)
Time: 7 p.m. (est)
Location: Statesboro, Georgia, USA @ the W.S. Hanner Fieldhouse
Network: ESPN+
Game Note: Georgia Southern enters as a dark horse contender for the Sun Belt crown, while George Mason is free-falling early. A few ugly losses to start the season is not what the Patriots envisioned. It’s only a few games in, but things don’t look promising for George Mason this season. A win here could get them on the right track.
Harvard Crimson (1-1) @ Massachusetts Minutemen (2-0)
Time: 7 p.m. (est)
Location: Amherst, Massachusetts, USA @ the William D. Mullins Memorial Center
Network: ESPN+
Massachusetts-Lowell River Hawks (1-1) @ Central Connecticut Blue Devils (1-1)
Time: 7 p.m. (est)
Location: New Britain, Connecticut, USA @ the William H. Detrick Gymnasium
Game Note: Both of these teams entered the season with very low expectations. However, both teams have been somewhat impressive so far. UMass-Lowell came back from a 10-point deficit to defeat a Wagner team that won 20-plus games last year. Despite losing, Central Connecticut played Georgetown extremely tough and gave the Hoyas an early season scare.
Milwaukee Panthers (0-2) @ Florida International Panthers (2-0)
Time: 7 p.m. (est)
Location: Miami, Florida, USA @ the Ocean Bank Convocation Center
Western Michigan Broncos (1-1) @ Oakland Golden Grizzlies (1-1)
Time: 7 p.m. (est)
Location: Rochester, Michigan, USA @ the Athletics Center O’rena
Network: ESPN+
Gardner-Webb Bulldogs (0-2) @ Furman Paladins (2-0)
Time: 7 p.m. (est)
Location: Greenville, South Carolina, USA @ the Timmons Arena
Network: ESPN+
Game Note: After a few years of knocking on the door, Furman seems poised to make a legit run at the SoCon title. They did just upset last year’s Final Four team in Loyola-Chicago, while Gardner-Webb is merely preparing for their in-conference schedule led by a potential Big South Conference Player of the Year winner in David Efianayi.
Longwood Lancers (2-0) @ Maryland-Eastern Shore Hawks (0-2)
Time: 7 p.m. (est)
Location: Princess Anne, Maryland, USA @ the Hytche Arena
Lafayette Leopards (1-1) @ Pennsylvania Quakers (2-0)
Time: 7 p.m. (est)
Location: Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, USA @ The Palestra
Network: ESPN+
Delaware State Hornets (0-2) @ Loyola-Maryland Greyhounds (0-2)
Time: 7 p.m. (est)
Location: Baltimore, Maryland, USA @ the Reitz Arena
Tennessee Tech Golden Eagles (0-2) @ Savannah State Tigers (1-2)
Time: 7 p.m. (est)
Location: Savannah, Georgia, USA @ the Tiger Arena
North Carolina Central Eagles (0-1) @ Cincinnati Bearcats (0-1)
Time: 7 p.m. (est)
Location: Cincinnati, Ohio, USA @ the Fifth Third Arena
Network: ESPN3
Game Note: The Bearcats performed decently against Ohio State in their first game. Cincinnati’s offense was inconsistent, which is to be expected this season. Cincinnati made a living on playing defense last year, as that may have to be the case again this season.
Mercer Bears (1-1) @ Georgia State Panthers (1-1)
Time: 7 p.m. (est)
Location: Atlanta, Georgia, USA @ the GSU Sports Arena
Network: ESPN+
South Carolina State Bulldogs (1-1) @ Charleston Southern Buccaneers (1-1)
Time: 7:30 p.m. (est)
Location: Charleston, South Carolina, USA @ the CSU Field House
Network: ESPN+
Long Island-Brooklyn Blackbirds (2-0) @ Fairfield Stags (1-1)
Time: 7:30 p.m. (est)
Location: Bridgeport, Connecticut, USA @ the Webster Bank Arena
Network: ESPN+
Southeastern Louisiana Lions (1-2) @ Texas Tech Red Raiders (2-0)
Time: 7:30 p.m. (est)
Location: Lubbock, Texas, USA @ the United Supermarkets Arena
Chicago State Cougars (0-3) @ Illinois State Redbirds (1-1)
Time: 8 p.m. (est)
Location: Normal, Illinois, USA @ the Redbird Arena
Network: ESPN3
California Baptist Lancers (1-0) @ Oral Robert Golden Eagles (1-2)
Time: 8 p.m. (est)
Location: Tulsa, Oklahoma, USA @ the Mabee Center
Game Note: The Lancers are undefeated in their DI debut! That could be short-lived as they now travel to their first DI opponent as a DI school. Enjoy the newfound journey Cal Baptist!
North Alabama Lions (1-1) @ Saint Louis Billikens (2-0)
Time: 8 p.m. (est)
Location: St. Louis, Missouri, USA @ the Chaifetz Arena
Network: ESPN+
Drake Bulldogs (1-0) @ Colorado Buffaloes (0-0)
Time: 8 p.m. (est)
Location: Boulder, Colorado, USA @ the CU Events Center
Network: Pac-12 Network
Little Rock Trojans (1-0) @ Tennessee State Tigers (0-1)
Time: 8 p.m. (est)
Location: Nashville, Tennessee, USA @ the Gentry Center
Network: ESPN+
Coastal Carolina Chanticleers (2-0) @ Tulane Green Wave (0-1)
Time: 8 p.m. (est)
Location: New Orleans, Louisiana, USA @ the Devlin Fieldhouse
Game Note: Tulane lost their home-opener to Florida State, playing impressive despite the defeat. Coastal Carolina is 2-0 after defeating Campbell in their last game, as this will be their toughest test yet.
Georgetown Hoyas (2-0) @ Illinois Fighting Illini (1-0)
Time: 8:30 p.m. (est)
Location: Champaign, Illinois, USA @ the Stare Farm Center
Network: FS1
Pepperdine Waves (1-0) @ Northern Colorado Bears (1-0)
Time: 9 p.m. (est)
Location: Greeley, Colorado, USA @ the Bank of Colorado Arena
Iona Gaels (1-0) @ New Mexico Lobos (1-0)
Time: 9 p.m. (est)
Location: Albuquerque, New Mexico, USA @ the Dreamstyle Arena
Northwestern State Demons (1-1) @ Brigham Young Cougars (1-1)
Time: 9 p.m. (est)
Location: Provo, Utah, USA @ the Marriott Center
California State Northridge Matadors (0-1) @ Loyola Marymount Lions (2-0)
Time: 9 p.m. (est)
Location: Los Angeles, California, USA @ the Gersten Pavilion
Game Note: This is surprisingly a very intriguing early season game. Northridge nearly upset New Mexico in their season-opener, before having a game postponed due to the California wildfires. The Lions actually pulled off an upset themselves, knocking off Nevada-Las Vegas (UNLV) in convincing fashion.
Mississippi Valley State Devils (0-2) @ Utah State Aggies (2-0)
Time: 9 p.m. (est)
Location: Logan, Utah, USA @ the Dee Glen Smith Spectrum
Nicholls Colonels (1-2) @ Idaho Vandals (0-1)
Time: 10 p.m. (est)
Location: Moscow, Idaho, USA @ the Memorial Gym
Hampton Pirates (1-1) @ California Golden Bears (0-1)
Time: 10 p.m. (est)
Location: Berkeley, California, USA @ the Haas Pavilion
Network: Pac-12 Network
Game Note: It didn’t seem like things could be worse for California following last season, but somehow it feels that way. Cal lost their top scorer last year and was blown out by Yale during a game in China. This team has a long way before being serious contenders for a March Madness appearance. Don’t expect Hampton to win, but don’t be surprised if they do.
California-Riverside Highlanders (0-2) @ Nevada-Las Vegas Rebels (0-1)
Time: 10 p.m. (est)
Location: Las Vegas, Nevada, USA @ the Thomas & Mack Center
Non-DI Opponent Games

Time: 7 p.m. (est)
Location: Richmond, Kentucky, USA @ the McBrayer Arena
Network: ESPN+
Regent Royals @ Howard Bison (2-0)
Time: 7 p.m. (est)
Location: Washington, DC, USA @ the Burr Gymnasium
Hardin-Simmons Cowboys @ Texas State Bobcats (1-0)
Time: 7 p.m. (est)
Location: San Marcos, Texas, USA @ the Strahan Coliseum
Network: ESPN+
Game Note: Texas State’s game is part of the Portland Classic, in which the Portland Pilots will host a bunch of games mid-November. The Bobcats won in surprising fashion against Air Force, so time will tell if Texas State can compete in the Sun Belt this season.
Elms College Blazers @ Dartmouth Big Green (2-1)
Time: 7 p.m. (est)
Location: Hanover, New Hampshire, USA @ the Edward Leede Arena
Network: ESPN+
Harding Bison @ Louisiana Tech Bulldogs (2-0)
Time: 7:30 p.m. (est)
Location: Ruston, Louisiana, USA @ the Thomas Assembly Center
Game Note: Louisiana Tech can compete for a Conference-USA crown with the likes of Marshall and a few others. The Bulldogs defense has impressed thus far, holding back-to-back opponents under 70 points which includes Wichita State.
Trevecca Nazarene Trojans @ Liberty Flames (1-0)
Time: 8:30 p.m. (est)
Location: Lynchburg, Virginia, USA @ the Vines Center
Network: ESPN+
