Conference USA games for Tuesday 02-26-13
The final two non-conference games of the 2012-13 season involving Conference USA men's basketball teams take place Tuesday night.
**Tip-Off at 6:05pm CT**
in Orlando,
UCF (18-9)
Georgia Southwestern (Non-Div I)
*The Knights will look to win their second straight game taking on a non-Division I opponent in Georgia Southwestern. This is UCF's second non-DI opponent of the year. They are 14-4 at home this season. UCF's next C-USA opponent will be #19 Memphis on Saturday.
**Tip-Off at 6:05pm CT**
in Cincinnati,
Xavier (15-11)
#19/#17 Memphis (24-3)
*This game will be televised on ESPN2. The Tigers come into this game riding an 18-game winning streak overall and an 11-game winning streak in true road games. Although Memphis is 1-0 against non-conference opponents on the road this season, they are just 4-6 (.400) in non-conference road games under Josh Pastner all-time. The Tigers are 8-2 away from home this season, 7-0 in true road games. Xavier has lost 5 of their last 9, but they are 5-1 in their last 6 home games. On the year, they are 9-3 at home, with two bad home losses (by 2 to #143 Vanderbilt and by 1 to #235 Wofford). They do have good wins at home against #31 Butler by 15, #42 Temple by 5 and #39 La Salle by 7. Memphis is a perfect 22-0 vs. teams rated outside the RPI top 50. Xavier is a pretty impressive 3-2 vs. teams rated in the top 50 of the RPI. This will be just the second and final game of the season for Memphis on the ESPN family of networks.
