Fordham at St. John's 6:30 PM ET
One of New York City's most storied college basketball rivalries reignites as Fordham and host St. John's do battle for the 88th time.

Vanderbilt at Middle Tennessee St. 7:30 PM ET

Middle Tennessee is no stranger to taking on – and beating – Southeastern Conference opponents, but welcoming an SEC foe to Murphy Center is a bit more rare. The Blue Raiders look to continue their best start in five years when they host Vanderbilt for an intrastate clash on Thursday. 

Iowa St. at Iowa 8:00 PM ET
No. 25 Iowa State looks to continue its recent domination in the annual Cy-Hawk basketball rivalry when it hits the road to face Iowa on Thursday.

Nicholls State at Florida St. 9:00 PM ET
Having unveiled yet more scoring threats in its most recent victory, Florida State hosts Nicholls on Wednesday in search of its fifth consecutive victory. PJ Savoy, Jarquez Smith and Brandon Allen, who had scored a combined 38 points prior to the Seminoles' 98-49 rout of Southern Mississippi on Monday, totaled 51 against the Golden Eagles as coach Leonard Hamilton continued to make use of his deep and talented roster.
Texas-Arlington at St. Mary's 10:00 PM ET
Well-rested Saint Mary’s gets back into action for its final stretch of games before West Coast Conference play when the 11th-ranked Gaels host red-hot Texas-Arlington on Thursday night.
