If anyone gets Comcast sports Chicago the MTSU game @belmont will be on at 8

Other Non-Conference opponents in action tonight (in addition to MTSU @ Belmont, as noted above by solohawks):

* East Tennessee State (# 98 RPI) @ Mississippi State (# 187) -- 7:00
* Evansville (# 150) vs. Norfolk St. (# 301) -- 8:00

Belmont is # 156 in the RPI.

ETSU are 2 point underdogs @ Miss St.

That is a very winnable game for ETSU even on the road.

Yep. ETSU is more battle-tested than Miss St to this point in the season. While the Buccaneers had to play us and Dayton on the road, and also swept a tournament in Iowa, the Bulldogs have played 5 home games (including their last 4 in a row) and 3 neutral games, with their SOS ranked 292nd in the country.

ETSU playing at Miss st. tonight on SEC network and MTSU at belmont on Comcast sports Chicago for those wanting more basketball tonight

79 66 MTSU win @belmont.

ETSU up 3 with 2min to go @Miss St. Check out this one going to be a tough one down the stretch

ETSU gets the road win. Led most of the game but miss st came back. Etsu got a tip in with about1 second left to win

ETSU moved up from # 98 to # 67 in the RPI with that win.

As a biased, but disciplined, analytical, and non-homer observer, I judge ETSU to be about 8-10 points better than Miss. St. on a neutral floor, for your all's reference.
While both teams missed many easy shots, ETSU missed the most, and shot FTs poorly. Could just as easily have been a 12-15 pt. win, and I say that judiciously and seriously. Miss St.'s youth definitely hurt them.

VCU survived MTSU. Raiders missed 3 at the buzzer to tie. If MTSU could have made free throws down the stretch they likely would have won

Clemson won @ Alabama (# 165 RPI) on Sunday, and is now riding a 6-game winning streak. They'll have one more game before hosting us: Wednesday night @ South Carolina (# 19 RPI).

Clemson also has a 6' 9" or 10" guy that has just become eligible. He is supposed to be a really good player.

He's listed as 6'9" 230. Transfer from Texas A&M.

He could be quite a good addition to Brad's squad.

EKU dropped a bad one @ Norfolk State (# 280 RPI) last night. Their RPI went from # 110 down to # 149 as a result.

Saint Bonaventure held serve at home against Army (# 227) to improve their record to 8-3. Their RPI sits at 95.

Toledo with a relatively big game hosting Loyola-Chicago (# 106) tonight at 7.

Radford hits the road to face West Virginia (# 58) at 7. That should be a blowout in the Mountaineers' favor. They play a high pressure style like we do and put a lot of points on the board.

Interesting timing, i played ball against a guy at the gym last night that played for Norfolk State 5 years ago.

Toledo beat Loyola-Chicago tonight, their 3rd win in their last 4.

Radford, unsurprisiingly, falls 87-54 to West Virginia.

Tomorrow, Middle Tennessee faces Georgia State (# 117 RPI), Western Michigan hits the road to face UCLA (# 15), and Clemson takes on South Carolina (# 19) in Columbia.

Middle Tennessee is trailing Georgia State (# 117 RPI) by 11 with under 2 minutes left. That game is in MTSU's house.

Clemson getting started @ South Carolina as we speak.

Georgia State defeats MTSU, 64-56.
