The 91-game basketball schedule on 2026-11-11 stretched across Euroleague, NBA and NCAA play, with the night defined by two very different types of results: narrow high-leverage finishes at the top level and a long list of decisive college margins.
Paris produced the Euroleague headline by beating Fenerbahce 111-109, a two-point result built on enough offensive output to survive one of the night’s strongest losing scores. Partizan Mozzart Bet gave the Euroleague slate its cleaner defensive performance, holding Baskonia to 66 points in an 80-66 win.
The NBA’s sharpest result came at Madison Square Garden, where New York Knicks beat Milwaukee Bucks 117-85. Boston Celtics also controlled their road assignment, winning 123-101 at Philadelphia 76ers, while Phoenix Suns posted the NBA’s highest team total of the night in a 133-110 win over Los Angeles Clippers.
Euroleague: Paris survives the possession game
Paris’ 111-109 win over Fenerbahce was the highest-scoring Euroleague game on the schedule and the only Euroleague result decided by a single possession. The final score reflected a game in which neither side created real scoreboard separation, and Paris needed every bit of its 111 points to protect home court.
Partizan Mozzart Bet’s 80-66 win over Baskonia carried a different profile. Holding Baskonia to 66 points gave Partizan Mozzart Bet the best defensive result among the two Euroleague winners, and the 14-point margin created a far more stable finish than the Paris-Fenerbahce game.
NBA: Knicks and Suns set the tone
New York Knicks beat Milwaukee Bucks 117-85, the NBA’s widest margin of the night. The 32-point gap stood out on a six-game NBA slate that also included multiple road wins and one 133-point team performance.
Boston Celtics won 123-101 at Philadelphia 76ers, pairing a 22-point road margin with the second-highest NBA total of the night. The result was one of three NBA road wins, along with Miami Heat’s 115-109 victory at Utah Jazz and Oklahoma City Thunder’s 103-123 loss at Portland Trail Blazers going the other direction for the home side.
Phoenix Suns beat Los Angeles Clippers 133-110, the top NBA scoring output on the schedule. Portland Trail Blazers also crossed 120 points, beating Oklahoma City Thunder 123-103, while Orlando Magic won 107-100 at Sacramento Kings and Miami Heat edged Utah Jazz 115-109.
NCAA: Kansas, Michigan State and Virginia Tech win notable road games
Kansas delivered one of the most significant road results on the NCAA slate, beating Kentucky 89-69. The 20-point margin gave Kansas a clear separation in one of the night’s highest-profile matchups.
Michigan State also won away from home, beating Duke 79-73. Virginia Tech added another notable road result with a 93-88 win at Iowa, and Memphis fell 105-81 at Vanderbilt in one of the night’s more emphatic home wins involving major programs.
Texas Tech beat Illinois 84-78, Kansas State beat Creighton 89-82, and North Carolina beat Wyoming 76-63. Baylor handled Yale 90-61, Arizona beat Northern Arizona 90-59, Virginia beat Bucknell 95-61, and Wisconsin held Fairfield to 42 points in an 89-42 win.
Big margins define the college board
Several NCAA games were decided by extreme margins. Citadel beat Virginia-Lynchburg 131-50, an 81-point result that was the largest listed margin of the night. Central Arkansas beat Ecclesia 127-54, St. Louis Billikens beat Northern Kentucky 125-63, and Eastern Michigan beat Great Lakes Christian 108-44.
Western Carolina scored the highest NCAA total of the night in a 136-68 win over Virginia-Lynchburg. New Hampshire Wildcats beat Thomas College 114-55, USC Upstate beat Bob Jones 104-49, Longwood beat St. Mary's (MD) 101-45, and Northern Colorado beat Northern New Mexico 102-52.
Other high-output NCAA wins included Utah State beating Utah Tech 118-86, Air Force beating Loyola Chicago 107-93, Vanderbilt beating Memphis 105-81, Texas A&M-CC beating Dallas Christian 102-58, and TCU beating Louisiana Monroe 100-92.
Close finishes across the NCAA slate
Duquesne beat Washington State 72-71 in the tightest NCAA finish of the night. Fresno State edged Georgia State 95-92, Saint Josephs Hawks beat South Florida 83-80, and Fairleigh Dickinson won 80-76 at East Texas A&M.
Fordham beat Iona 78-72, Northeastern beat Harvard 74-70, IU Indy beat Southern Indiana 74-70, and Navy beat Penn 81-76. Middle Tenn. St. beat Evansville 73-68, San Francisco beat Montana 63-58, and East Carolina beat N. Carolina A&T 72-67.
Those close results gave the NCAA slate balance after a long run of blowouts. The night included both high-major separation and smaller-margin games where late-game execution determined the final possession structure.
Scoreboard notes from the full slate
Xavier reached 100 in a 100-55 win over Detroit, NC State beat Presbyterian 94-60, Providence beat Bryant University 78-55, Wake Forest beat Charleston Southern 82-64, and Villanova beat La Salle 80-59.
Ole Miss beat SE Louisiana 91-51, Iowa State beat Southern Univ. 84-47, Boston College beat Md.-East. Shore 82-54, and SMU Mustangs beat Prairie View A&M 98-63. Brigham Young beat Queens Royals 98-82, New Mexico beat UALR 94-69, and San Diego State beat Bethune-Cookman 88-75.
Among the road winners outside the marquee matchups, Belmont lost 88-75 at Lipscomb, Temple fell 91-81 to Charleston, Arkansas State lost 82-65 to UT Martin, UTRGV lost 72-65 to Texas State, and Albany Great Danes lost 85-76 to Dartmouth.
The full night produced a broad scoring spectrum: from Wisconsin allowing only 42 points against Fairfield to Western Carolina putting 136 on Virginia-Lynchburg. Across 91 games, the defining theme was volume — a crowded national board with enough close finishes to matter and enough blowouts to reshape early impressions of team strength.
