-It was a rather slow Sunday. Drake and Southern Illinois remain unbeaten on the season, and Providence won an double overtime thriller against DePaul.
-We will be recording the Hoops HD Report tonight, so be on the lookout for that.
-NEW MEXICO STATE @ CAL STATE NORTHRIDGE. New Mexico State, who we THINK is good, is finally playing against a D1 opponent today. Their OOC schedule has been ransacked by cancellations due to COVID and we’re hoping they can string together some more games so they can begin to build their profile.
-DRAKE AT INDIANA STATE (Missouri Valley). Drake looks to pick up another road win and remain unbeaten on the season.
-EVANSVILLE AT SOUTHERN ILLINOIS (Missouri Valley). The Salukis are also unbeaten and are looking to finish off the season sweep against Evansville.
-MARYLAND AT WISCONSIN (Big Ten). Wisconsin is a probable protected seed and a possible #1 seed. Maryland is decent, but currently has nothing on their profile that really jumps out. Of course that would change if they’re able to pull off the win tonight.
-MICHIGAN STATE AT MINNESOTA (Big ten). Minney just pulled off a huge overtime win against Iowa, which catapults them onto the national scene. They have a solid 8-1 record, and they now have an outstanding win to go along with it. They can build on that tonight and take yet another big step forward if they’re able to pull this one off. Michigan State, on the other hand, isn’t in any real danger, but they could use a bit of a pick-me-up if they want to hang on to that high ranking.
-FRESNO STATE AT COLORADO STATE (Mountain West). These are two MWC teams that have some potential, but just haven’t had the opportunity to play that many games yet.
-NORTHERN ARIZONA AT GONZAGA. Buy game
-COLORADO AT ARIZONA (Pac 12). Both teams need to improve their resumes, so both could really use this win tonight.
