For Chad Sherwood’s UTR Game of the Day – CLICK HERE
-UCF AT TEMPLE (American). Temple has been one of the bigger surprises this year with some notable wins, and looks to be one of the better teams in the AAC.
-VCU AT FORDHAM (Atlantic Ten). Fordham is a respectable 5-2 at home, but this is still the kind of game VCU cannot afford to lose.
-OLD DOMINION AT CHARLOTTE (Conference USA). ODU is off to a tremendous start and looks to be playing like a top 25 team. Having said that, this is only their second true road game, and it’s the kind of game that a tournament team is expected to win.
-EVANSVILLE AT INDIANA STATE (Missouri Valley). Evansville is coming off their huge win against Northern Iowa, but does not want to negate that by not picking up a road win at Indiana State.
-USC AT COLORADO (Pac Twelve). Neither team is anywhere close to the bubble right now. The only reason we mention this game is because we’re holding out hope that Colorado may be good enough to turn it around.
-LOYOLA IL AT NORTHERN IOWA. Both teams are a very impressive 11-2, but Loyola’s wins have not been all that notable. If they some how pull this one off that would change everything, though.
-UTEP AT RICE (Conference USA). UTEP is a good team with a very small margin for error. They can barely afford any slip ups in league play.
-UCLA AT UTAH (Pac Twelve). UCLA has underachieved and Utah has been very impressive so far. I don’t expect the Utes to have too much trouble.
-UNLV AT KANSAS. UNLV has looked good, and Kansas has looked really good this year. It’s a chance for both to add a quality win to their resume.
-ILLINOIS STATE AT WICHITA STATE (Missouri Valley). Wichita State struggled against Drake in their conference opener. They’re at home today against an Illinois State team that is inconsistent. I guess that’s better than being consistently bad.
-WASHINGTON STATE AT CALIFORNIA (Pac Twelve). Cal got a big win against Washington in their conference opener, and shouldn’t have too much trouble against Wazzu today.
-ARIZONA STATE AT ARIZONA (Pac Twelve). Big rivalry game here, but this edition appears to also be a big mismatch, especially with Arizona at home. Arizona State has some work to do just to make it inside the bubble, and Arizona is looking like a potential #1 seed.
-WISCONSIN AT NORTHWESTERN (Big Ten). Northwestern is 10-4, but they’ve done that against a weak schedule. Wisconsin has just one loss, and has looked very strong all year long.
-LOUISVILLE AT WAKE FOREST (ACC). This should be one of the more winnable conference road games for Louisville.
-WASHINGTON AT STANFORD (Pac Twelve). Washington is coming off their first loss of the season, and has another tough road game today against a pretty good Stanford team.
