MAAC/A-Sun Challenge in Dublin, Ireland (2 Games)
Rider (1-1) vs. Stetson (2-0) – 5:00 AM ET (ESPNU)
No, you are reading this right – the Under The Radar Doubleheader of the Day goes across the pond to Dublin, Ireland in a day-night doubleheader featuring four different teams. Stetson has been a road warrior so far this season with wins at Florida State and South Florida, and now they will look to be the ultimate road warriors with a win on two different continents before playing their first home games of the season! Rider comes in off of a close loss at Providence despite leading the defending Big East champion Friars by 14 in the first half.
Central Arkansas (2-1) vs. Niagara (0-2) – 11:00 AM ET (ESPN3)
The second game of this doubleheader will be online-only with other exempt bracketed events being televised on the ESPN networks; Niagara comes into this game coming off of a pair of blowout losses against both rebuilding Bucknell and Maryland teams. Central Arkansas started the season with a win against in-state rival Little Rock, but they are now coming off of a loss at Wichita State by 20+ points.
Since there is a very good chance the first game may already be done by the time you read this, keep in mind there is a 6 AM starting time for Saturday’s game between Central Arkansas and Rider. Niagara and Stetson will follow with a noontime game on Saturday as well.
