Tonight's featured conference is our favorite conference, and that is the NEC. Why is it our favorite conference? Because whatever it is that makes college basketball fun and crazy seems to exist in this conference at a higher level than it does anywhere else. Long Island and Central Connecticut are still the teams to beat, and Chicago State is coming off of one of the more improbable losses in college basketball history. They are perhaps the first team ever to have the lead and the ball with just 0.1 seconds remaining, and somehow end up losing the game.

From there we run through the other 22 (not just 21 anymore!!) UTR leagues. We welcome the American to Under the Radar since it does not look like any of their teams have a shot at landing inside the bubble, and look at how well South Florida has been playing and how Tulsa is starting to struggle. Murray State is starting to assert themselves in the Missouri Valley, McNeese has strung together several wins and is once again on top of the Southland, the Big West had an exciting week with Hawaii knocking off UC Irvine at the buzzer, and Miami OH continues to blow through the MAC. We discuss all that, and more! And, as we do every week, we close with this week's UTR Top Ten.

It was both a busy and crazy week last week and we recap all the action! Auburn had an eventful week with a loss right at the buzzer to Texas A&M, but followed that up with a blowout win against Arkansas. Wisconsin pulled a massive upset at Michigan which takes them from way outside the bubble to solidly in the picture. Arizona is at the top of both polls and remains unbeaten on the season. Houston also had a big week and appears to be getting tougher and tougher as the season progresses. UConn has a big game coming up at Seton Hall in the Big East, and Saint John's is also starting to look a lot better. We discuss all that, and more!

This week's feature conference is the MEAC, which is entirely upside down with UMES, Coppin State, and South Carolina State all getting wins in their conference openers, and Norfolk State and Howard both struggling in their openers.

From there we run through the other 21 conferences and discuss Miami OH's undefeated season and debate how good they really are. McNeese had a big come from behind win against Stephen F Austin, but they were definitely challenged and some of the other teams in the Southland are starting to catch up to them. The Big West is off to a wild start with UC Irvine as the only remaining unbeaten team in league play. The Missouri Valley continues to look really strong with as many as five teams that can still win it. We discuss all that and more. And, as we do every week, we close with this week's UTR Top Ten.

A full panel has been assembled this week. We start off in the Big Ten where Michigan, Michigan State, and Nebraska are all ranked in the top ten and Nebraska is one of the more amazing stories of the season. The Big 12 is also stacked with teams like Iowa State, Arizona, and BYU also being ranked solidly in the top ten. UCF has also catapulted themselves into the spotlight with their big win over Kansas. The ACC is a deep league with a lot of Parity, Saint John's is struggling in the Big East, Seattle U had a tough week in the WCC but has a promising future, and the Atlantic 10 and American continue to struggle overall. We discuss all that, and more.

It is our first Bracket Rundown Show of the regular season!!

A full panel has been assembled for the season premier and they build this week’s seedlist line by line! They debate, discuss, assess, and argue about each team as they go.  Find out who they have on the #1 lines so far, who is safely in, who still has work to do, and who on the bubble just made it in and just missed it.

This week's featured conference is the Horizon League, which saw a surprise yesterday as Morehead State beat Oakland rather handily. Northern Kentucky is also showing signs of life, Green Bay is improving, Robert Morris looked strong out of conference but has also suffered and early loss, and we appear to have a lot more parity in this league than what we expected.

From there we run through the other 21 UTR leagues and talk about how strong the Missouri Valley is with five teams who appear to be possible formidable opponents in the Round of 64. Both McNeese and Yale suffered blowout losses, but we still think they are among the best UTR teams. We discuss all that, and more. And, as we do very week, we close with this week's UTR Top Ten.

It was a light week due to The Holidays, so we take a look at the state of the game, which is...well...less than great. The impact that NIL, transfer rules (or lack thereof), and eligibility rules (or lack thereof) are having on the game has many coaches speaking out in concern. The NCAA seems to be rather pedestrian in their response and is even appealing to congress to step in and take action. We look at that and share our thoughts on those issues.

For the second half of the show, we recap last week and look ahead to this upcoming week as conference play is getting underway.

Tonight's feature conference is the Missouri Valley, which is hands down looking like the strongest UTR conference. Belmont is off to a great start with just one loss and appears to have a path to landing inside the bubble. Northern Iowa (who barely lost at Saint Mary's), Murray State, and Illinois State have also looked really strong.

After that we run through the other 21 UTR conferences and look at UC San Diego's tough loss to San Diego, how strong McNeese looks despite an upset earlier on this season, Quinnipiac and Navy look like the favorites to win their leagues, Miami OH remains unbeaten but has lost a key player for the season, and the two best teams in the WAC face each other in the conference opener. We discuss all that, and more! And as we do every week, we close with this week's UTR Top Ten.
