It's our regular season premiere of Under the Radar!!
Our feature conference is the Southland, and our feature team within that confernece is East Texas A&M, who has had a roller coaster of a season with wins at Oklahoma and at Rice, but then suffered a loss in their home opener earlier today against Fairleigh Dickinson. McNeese and Stephen F Austin are two other teams that are expected to do well.
We run through the other 21 UTR leagues and discuss how good Miami OH and High Point have looked, Valparaiso's big win at Purdue and South Dakota State's big win at Kansas State, and how those two faced off against each other tonight. Wright State is off to a great start in the Horizon League, Northern Illinois has had a roller coaster season so far with a loss to Grambling and a win against Dayton, and several teams in the MAC are off to a good start. We discuss all that, and more!
It's the regular season premiere of the Hoops HD Report!! We look back at a busy first week where Memphis surprised us all with two big wins over Iowa State and VCU, UCLA picked up one of the biggest wins of the young season as they knocked off Arizona in Las Vegas, and UConn won a big rematch from last year's national championship game against Michigan. While some teams have excelled, others have struggled. Purdue was upset by Valparaiso, Dayton fell at home to Northern Illinois, and Oklahoma fell to East Texas A&M. We run through all the power conferences and multi-bid leagues, review all the action from Week 1, and look ahead to the upcoming games.
It's our first Bracket Rundown of the year!!! Sort of. The bracket is a straight up media bracket. The seedlist was determined by the two main preseason polls, and the auto bids were determined by each conference's Media Day picks to win the league. We reveal it line by line and show you what it looks like in a bracketed format, and we debate, discuss, and assess each team as we go. We also talk about who we think is overrated, who is underrated, and who missed the field that should have been included.

Chad is joined by David Griggs and John Stalica for the Preseason Under the Radar Special! We run through all 22 UTR conferences and discuss who the preseason favorites are and which teams we feel are worth paying attention to. Miami OH once again looks really strong and we talk about whether or not they can make it back inside the bubble this year. High Point, UC San Diego, and UC Irvine are other teams that we feel could be dangerous. We discuss all that, and much more.
The SEC is perhaps the strongest conference in the nation, and it's home to Florida, which is perhaps the strongest team in the nation. Chad and the panel look at what is a talent stacked conference with as many as 8 teams that we could see in the Top 25 and as many as 12 teams that could make the NCAA Tournament. Texas has a stacked roster. Tennessee has a very talented roster, but will it fit Rick Barnes's style? Can Texas A&M surprise some people? Can Arkansas keep pace with the rest of the league with their youth? We run through and assess every team.
