November 18, 2015
Illinois at Providence 7:00 PM ET
Illinois needed to rally from a 14-point deficit to avoid an 0-2 start to the season. The Fighting Illini now will face another test Wednesday when they visit Providence and All-American Kris Dunn.
Incarnate Word at Purdue 7:00 PM ET

No. 23 Purdue looks to continue its sizzling start to the season when it hosts Incarnate Word on Wednesday. The Boilermakers have used a barrage of 3-pointers to roll to easy wins against North Carolina A&T and Vermont to open the campaign.

Cincinnati at Bowling Green 7:00 PM ET
Cincinnati hits the road for the first time with a visit to Bowling Green on Wednesday. The Bearcats were just 7-6 away from Fifth Third Arena last season but won their final three regular-season road games.
Wofford at North Carolina 7:00 PM ET
Life without All-American candidate Marcus Paige has gone quite smoothly for top-ranked North Carolina in the first two games of the season. The Tar Heels look to continue their strong play in the backcourt when they host Wofford on Tuesday night as the standout guard recovers from a broken right hand that is expected to keep him out a few more weeks.
Richmond at Wake Forest 7:00 PM ET

Wake Forest aims for its second 3-0 start in the past three seasons when the Demon Deacons host Richmond on Wednesday. The teams are meeting for the eighth straight season and the 15th time in the past 16 years, and two of the last three meetings at Wake Forest have gone to overtime. 

Indiana - Purdue at N.C. State 7:00 PM ET
After getting thoroughly outplayed in the opener by William & Mary and sleepwalking through the first half against South Alabama, North Carolina State coach Mark Gottfried got his team's attention.

UC Irvine at Central Florida 7:00 PM ET
After dropping its season opener at Davidson on Saturday, UCF looks to get things on track when it opens its home schedule on Wednesday with a visit from UC Irvine. Adonys Henriquez scored 18 to lead the Knights, who managed to erase a 10-point halftime deficit last time out and kept it a one possession game until just shy of two minutes remaining before falling short.
Akron at Arkansas 8:00 PM ET
The biggest challenge for Arkansas this season is replacing power forward Bobby Portis - now a rookie for the Chicago Bulls - but the Razorbacks may have found someone to fill part of that void heading into Wednesday's game against visiting Akron in the opener of the NIT Season Tip-Off. Moses Kingsley, a 6-foot-10 junior from Nigeria, made all eight of his field goal attempts and finished with a career-high 22 points, 12 rebounds, five blocked shots and three steals in an 86-68 win over Southern
Fairfield at Northwestern 8:00 PM ET

Kennesaw St. at Arizona State 8:30 PM ET

Arizona State shook off last week’s disappointing season-opening loss with an 83-74 win over Ohio Valley Conference-power Belmont on Monday night. The Sun Devils will try to maintain that momentum Wednesday as they host Kennesaw State.

No. 12 Gonzaga attempts to start its season for the second time when it hosts Northern Arizona on Wednesday. The Bulldogs traveled to Okinawa for their scheduled opener against Pittsburgh but the game was canceled at halftime due to slippery floor conditions.
