The Indiana Pacers travel to Crypto.com Arena for a Friday night matchup against the Los Angeles Lakers. Tipoff is set for 10:30 PM, with the game broadcast on FDSI. It has been a long, difficult campaign for the Pacers, who enter this contest with a 15-47 record and are currently stuck on a seven-game losing streak.

The Missouri Valley Conference Tournament—known affectionately as “Arch Madness”—continues today, March 6, 2026, at the Enterprise Center in St. Louis. In a highly anticipated quarterfinal showdown, the No. 6 seeded Northern Iowa Panthers (20-12) take on the No. 3 seeded Illinois State Redbirds (20-11) at 8:30 PM CST. Northern Iowa punched their ticket to this round by defeating Evansville in the opening round, while Illinois State enters the tournament fresh, benefiting from a first-round bye.

Gardner-Webb and High Point meet Friday, March 6, 2026, at 12:00 PM ET from Freedom Hall Civic Center in Johnson City, Tennessee, with ESPN+ carrying this Big South tournament matchup.

The Panthers enter 27-4 after dominating league play and locking up the No. 1 seed, while Gardner-Webb is just 4-28 and had to grind through a one-point win over USC Upstate to get here. The market reflects that gap pretty clearly. High Point is laying 26.5 points with a massive -10000 moneyline, while Gardner-Webb comes back at +3000. It is a huge number, no doubt, but this matchup has already produced two lopsided Panther
