First Four Out: Richmond, Stephen F. Austin, Chattanooga, Indiana State
Fordham and Tennessee-Martin take center stage after scoring impressive victories over strong competition. With victories over Villanova and Temple, the Rams (3-0) appear to be the team to beat in the Patriot League, although they are not eligible to win the conference's automatic bid to the tournament. Their victory over Temple on Saturday was the school’s first over an FBS team and gave the Rams their first 3-0 start since 1988. Meanwhile, Tennessee-Martin (2-1) is making noise the OVC. Their win over Central Arkansas gives the Skyhawks two victories over ranked opponents this season.
