Chattanooga (5-1) 122, Peoria (1-6) 91: (Dunlap, Ill.) - A tale of two halves in Northern Illinois, as first-place Chattanooga and last-place Peoria were deadlocked at 53-53 at halftime. But the second half was all Rail Runners, as they outscored the host Panthers by 31 points, to pull away with a massive victory. Alex Wells (32 points) and Quincy Scates (26 points) led the scoring attack for Chattanooga. 

Bowling Green (4-2) 91, Fort Wayne (4-3) 90: (Russellville, Ky.) - After dominating the first half, Bowling Green struggled offensively in the second half, as visiting Fort Wayne overcame a double-digit deficit to make this a competitive game. However, through the work of Hornets guards, Marquise Rudolph (16 points in 4th quarter) and Damarius Smith, who hit the game-winning free throws, Bowling Green held on for a one-point victory. The win puts the Hornets in the driver's seat for the second seed in the post-season tournament with two games remaining on their schedule. 

Mississippi (4-2) 102, Middle Tennessee (3-3) 87: (Memphis, Tenn.) - Down by seven points midway through the third quarter at 76-69, Mississippi outscored Middle Tennessee by 22 points the remainder of the game, to pull away with a 15-point victory. Mississippi's Mardracus Wade led the way with a season-high 40 points, as the Eagles keep their hopes alive for a regular season title with their victory tonight over the defending champions. Middle Tennessee fell to 0-3 on the road this season.
