INDIANAPOLIS 139, BALTIMORE 102: (Severn, Md.) - If there was any hope for a let down from last year's runners-up due to having to fly from Indianapolis to Baltimore, there was absolutely no sign of it this evening. The first quarter featured a 22-5 run by Indianapolis to lead by 19 points, which was pushed to as many as 32 points in the second frame. Indianapolis kept pummeling Baltimore in the second half to eventually hand the hosts their worst defeat of the season and in their brief two-year history in the league. Indianapolis (2-0) was led by Anthony White, Jr. (25 points) and Tyler Bibbs (21 points). Baltimore (0-4) was led by Aaron Williams (23 points) and Marquis Powell (21 points). Both teams will square off against each other next Saturday night in Indianapolis. 

MIDDLE TENNESSEE 76, MEMPHIS 72: (Nashville, Tenn.) - In their home opener tonight, Middle Tennessee did not get off to a good start, as Memphis dominated the first half, leading by as many as 13 points. Memphis continued their double-digit advantage through three quarters, before Middle Tennessee gave their home fans a comeback story to take home with them. After trailing 65-52, Middle Tennessee went on a 23-3 run from the final minute of the third quarter and throughout the final frame, holding Memphis to a record-low seven points in the fourth quarter, to stun the visitors and keep their undefeated record intact. Middle Tennessee (2-0) and Memphis (1-2) will face each other again tomorrow afternoon in Memphis. 

BOWLING GREEN 93, JACKSON 72: (Jackson, Tenn.) - After two weeks off for both teams, it was the visitors from Kentucky who jumped out early and dictated the flow throughout the contest. Strengthened with the addition of former Middle Tennessee forward, Roy McFadgon, Bowling Green led by double-digits in the first half against Jackson. Yet, unlike in their season opener, where they lost two double-digit leads in their eventual overtime defeat at Memphis, Bowling Green kept the pressure on in the second half, to cruise past Jackson with a 21-point victory. Bowling Green (1-1) and Jackson (1-1) will both face off against each other again tomorrow afternoon in Russellville, Kentucky.
