The Utah Jazz head to Target Center on Wednesday, March 18, 2026, for an 8:00 PM matchup against the Minnesota Timberwolves. Utah enters this game at 20-48 and sits 14th in the Western Conference, while Minnesota comes in at 42-27 and is holding down the fifth spot in the West. The Timberwolves have been the more dependable team all season, and that has shown up clearly at home, where they own a strong 23-12 record. This matchup looks difficult for Utah on paper.

George Washington heads to Orem for an NIT matchup with Utah Valley on Wednesday night, with tipoff set for 8:00 PM ET at the UCCU Center and the game streaming on ESPN+. The Revolutionaries come in at 18-15 after an uneven Atlantic 10 run, while Utah Valley sits at 25-8 after another strong season in the WAC.

This is a pretty interesting matchup because both teams can score, but they do it in slightly different ways. Kent State has been one of the higher-scoring mid-major teams in the country, and Illinois State has looked more comfortable lately on

Navy heads to Winston-Salem for a Wednesday night NIT matchup against Wake Forest, with tip set for 7:00 PM ET at Lawrence Joel Coliseum on ESPNU. Navy brings in a 26-7 record after dominating Patriot League play at 18-2, while Wake Forest enters 17-16 overall after an 8-12 run through the ACC. The number tells the story right away.

Navy was close to an NCAA bid before that brutal 73-72 loss to Boston University, so this feels like a team playing with some unfinished business.
