Tonight’s featured conference is the Metro Atlantic, and the featured team in that featured conference is Marist, who is having a very unique type of season.

Quinnipiac is also having a good year and is right behind them in the standings.
After that, we run through the other 21 UTR conferences. Maine is having their best season in recent memory and still has a chance at finishing 1st in the America East. Drake is still on pace to land inside the bubble, but they’ve got a tough stretch between now and the end of the season in the Missouri Valley. UC Irvine and UC San Diego are the two best teams in the Big West, they play each other this weekend, and the winner of that game may have a shot at an at-large. We discuss all that, and more. And, as we do every week, we close with this week’s UTR Top Ten.
