Seven of the eight teams in the field are currently ranked in Joe Lunardi’s Bracketology. Seton Hall (13), Tennessee (20) and VCU (21) also currently reside in the Associated Press Top 25 Poll.

The Rams (4-0), who are also ranked No. 19 in the USA Today/Coaches Poll, will return to the floor on Saturday, Nov. 23 when they host Florida Gulf Coast at 7 p.m. at the Siegel Center.
