Game Overview
Holy Cross Crusaders (0-3) host the Hampton Pirates (2-2) in a Patriot Conference matchup. Holy Cross enters winless with a -24.3 point differential, while Hampton seeks to capitalize on their superior efficiency metrics and recent day-game success.
Key Factors to Consider
Holy Cross is 0-3 to start the season with significant struggles: ranked outside the top-300 nationally in both offensive and defensive efficiency, averaging 42.6% from the field while allowing 45.8%. Hampton enters 2-2 with superior offensive (45.6% FG%) and defensive metrics, having won 5 of their last 6 day games. Holy Cross has lost seven consecutive games overall and specifically struggles in day games against non-conference opponents, losing the first half in all seven recent day matchups.
No recent head-to-head data provided in available sources. This appears to be a first-time or infrequent matchup between these programs.
No injury information available in provided sources.
Holy Cross has a significant home-court disadvantage given their winless record and momentum crisis. Hampton's proven success in day games (5-1) is a critical advantage, with this contest occurring in the afternoon window. Holy Cross ranks tied for 11th in the Patriot Conference despite their 0-3 record.
Hampton has motivation to extend their day-game winning streak and build momentum in conference play. Holy Cross desperately seeks their first win, but faces a team that thrives in this exact game environment.

Ohio State (3-0) hosts Notre Dame (3-0) in a non-conference matchup featuring two undefeated teams. The Buckeyes are heavily favored as the home team, with the oddsmakers projecting a competitive but Ohio State-favored contest. Both teams enter with strong starts, but Ohio State's home arena dominance and recent head-to-head success give them a clear edge.
Key Factors to Consider
Both teams are 3-0 to start the season. Ohio State has outscored opponents 287-223 (avg +21.3 per game), while Notre Dame has outscored opponents 269-195 (avg +24.7 per game). However, Ohio State's scoring advantage reflects stronger competition. Ohio State has won 42 of its last 45 non-conference home games at Value City Arena. Notre Dame has won 6 of its last 7 games overall but has lost 8 of its last 10 games against Big Ten opponents. Critically, Notre Dame has lost the first half in each of its last 3 day games against the Big Ten.
Ohio State owns a 9-4 all-time series advantage and has won the last 3 consecutive matchups, including a 90-85 road victory on December 8, 2020. The Buckeyes' dominance in this series is substantial, and home court historically favors Ohio State heavily.
No significant injuries reported in available data.
The game is played during a day slot (12:30 PM EST), which historically favors Ohio State. Seven of Ohio State's last 8 non-conference home games produced 162+ total points, suggesting elevated scoring potential. Conversely, 6 of Notre Dame's last 7 day games against non-AP-ranked opponents produced 148 or fewer total points.
Both teams are undefeated and seeking a quality non-conference win early in the season. Ohio State has strong home court advantage and motivation to protect their arena dominance. Notre Dame is seeking an upset statement win but faces significant historical headwinds.

Predicted Outcome
Ohio State Buckeyes win 83-79. The Buckeyes' home court dominance (42-3 in non-conference home games), recent head-to-head success (3-0 in last meetings), and day-game track record support a comfortable but not dominant home victory. The game stays competitive due to Notre Dame's strong start and undefeated record, but Ohio State's structural advantages are too significant to overcome.
Appalachian State (2-2, 0-2 away) travels to face Dartmouth (0-2, 0-1 home) in a non-conference college basketball matchup. App State enters as a slight favorite despite their 0-2 road record, while Dartmouth searches for their first win of the season at home.
Key Factors to Consider
Appalachian State shows a 2-2 overall record with strong home performance (2-0) but struggles significantly on the road (0-2). They've scored 287 points and allowed 257 across four games. Dartmouth remains winless at 0-2 overall with a minus-26 point differential, averaging just 65.5 PPG while conceding 78.5 PPG. App State's K. Jennings leads with 17.0 PPG on 42.6% FG, while Dartmouth's K. Thomas contributes 16.0 PPG on 38.1% FG.
No prior matchup history available between these programs in recent seasons.
Appalachian State's guard KJ Vasser underwent foot surgery on November 7 and will miss the entire 2025-26 season, representing a significant loss to their backcourt depth.
This is an out-of-conference matchup with neutral motivation considerations. App State's road woes (0-2) present concern despite their overall record advantage. Dartmouth plays at home where they have a slight edge, though they haven't won there yet.
Dartmouth is desperate for their first win of the season and will have home court advantage. Appalachian State aims to break their road skid and capitalize on their overall record superiority. App State's injury to Vasser may limit their depth in closing situations.

Appalachian State wins this matchup but the margin is tighter than the spread suggests.

UMBC Retrievers (2-1) host the struggling Wagner Seahawks (0-3) in a non-conference college basketball matchup. UMBC enters as strong favorites off a 2-1 start, while Wagner seeks their first win of the season after dropping three consecutive games. The Retrievers have established themselves as a well-rounded team, while Wagner continues to search for offensive consistency.
Key Factors to Consider
UMBC averages 80.0 PPG on 48.6% FG while holding opponents to 60.6 PPG on 42.2% FG, ranking 38th nationally in scoring and 4th in defense. Wagner averages just 62.5 PPG on 40.6% FG while allowing 78.8 PPG on 46.4% FG—a significant defensive liability. UMBC shoots 39.7% from three and 70.2% from free throw, while Wagner shoots 43.7% from deep but only 59.5% from the line. Wagner has lost six consecutive games against non-AP-ranked opponents, while UMBC has won at home, establishing home-court advantage.[1][2]
No prior head-to-head history available between these programs.[2]
No significant injuries reported for either team in available data.[1][2]
The home team has won each of Wagner's last four games they've played in, suggesting Wagner struggles on the road. However, UMBC has lost six of its last seven day games against non-AP-ranked opponents, presenting a potential vulnerability. Wagner has won four of its last five day games, suggesting some contextual strength despite the overall 0-3 record.[2]
UMBC is looking to maintain early-season momentum after a 2-1 start at home. Wagner desperately needs a win to avoid an 0-4 start and break their three-game losing streak, but the road environment and UMBC's defensive prowess make this an uphill battle.[1][2]

Predicted Outcome
UMBC will win decisively at home. The Retrievers' superior offensive efficiency, elite home-court advantage, and dominant defense present a clear matchup advantage against a struggling Wagner team. While Wagner shows some day-game competence, UMBC's structural advantages (48.6% FG vs 40.6%, 80.0 PPG vs 62.5 PPG) are too significant to overcome, especially with the home-court edge.
Kent State Golden Flashes (3-1) host Wright State Raiders (2-2) in a non-conference matchup at the Greenbrier Tip-Off tournament. Kent State enters as 3.5-4.5 point favorites with a moneyline of -205/-192 across books. This is a matchup between two teams with contrasting recent form, with Kent State riding positive momentum while Wright State seeks to recover from a significant loss.
Key Factors to Consider
Kent State has won their last game decisively (102-95 vs Cleveland State at home) and holds a 3-1 record. However, they rank poorly in offensive efficiency (189th nationally with 73.5 PPG) despite solid defensive metrics (61st at 68.3 PPG allowed). Wright State enters 2-2 with a concerning recent performance—they were defeated 92-59 at home by Radford Highlanders, showing defensive vulnerabilities (76.4 PPG allowed ranks 301st). Wright State does shoot better overall (49.4% FG ranks 6th nationally) compared to Kent State (43.6% ranks 268th), suggesting potential for offensive output.
No historical head-to-head data is available in the search results for this matchup.
No injury information is provided in the available search results.
Both teams are participating in the Greenbrier Tip-Off tournament. Wright State covered the +3.5 spread in 6 of their last 10 home games, suggesting they perform better as underdogs. The game is played at a neutral venue (Colonial Hall, White Sulphur Springs) rather than at Kent State's actual home, which may reduce Kent State's traditional home-court advantage.
Wright State is motivated to bounce back from a humiliating 33-point home loss to Radford. Kent State seeks to maintain momentum and improve their tournament seeding. The neutral court creates more balanced motivation between both squads.

Hawai'i Rainbow Warriors host Utah Tech Trailblazers in a non-conference matchup. Hawai'i enters with a 3-1 record and a strong home advantage, while Utah Tech is 3-3 and struggling on the road. Hawai'i is favored by nearly two touchdowns, and the total is set just above 153 points.
Key Factors to Consider
Hawai'i is 3-1 with a top-40 offense, averaging 82.3 PPG and winning by 21.8 points per game. Utah Tech is 3-3, with a weaker defense and poor road form, losing 11 straight Saturday road games. Hawai'i is 3-0 at home, while Utah Tech is 0-1 away.

Seattle Redhawks (2-1) host Idaho State Bengals (2-1) in a closely matched NCAA basketball game. The Redhawks show more offensive efficiency and better shooting percentages, while Idaho State struggles with shooting consistency but has strong defensive turnover forcing.
Key Factors to Consider
Seattle averages 83.0 PPG on 52.0% shooting (33rd nationally), pulling down 33.7 rebounds per game. Idaho State averages 69.7 PPG on 44.2% shooting with lower free throw accuracy (63.5%) and fewer rebounds (30.3). Seattle forces 18.7 turnovers per game vs Idaho State’s 11.3.
Seattle has won its last five games against Big Sky Conference opponents at home, indicating a home court advantage over Idaho State. Idaho State has lost six of seven recent night games against West Coast Conference teams.
No significant injuries reported for either team impacting the main rotation.
Seattle plays at home in front of a supportive crowd at Redhawk Center; Idaho State historically struggles in away night games in this conference.
Both teams hold identical records (2-1). Seattle shows stronger motivation to maintain home superiority and capitalize on offensive strengths; Idaho State aims to disrupt but faces challenges in shooting and defensive rebounding.
