For our latest HOOPS HD REPORT Video Podcast - CLICK HERE NEWS AND NOTES: -Arizona had what appeared to be a comfortable 19pt lead at BYU with less than a minute to go and I was thinking it may be one of the most impressive single game performances of the season by any team. With less than 90 seconds to go the lead was 11, but BYU almost managed the comeback of all comebacks and had a chance to win the game on their last possession, but Arizona made a great defensive play and after two late freethrows escaped 86-83.

Lots of games were postponed these past couple of days, but not the Hoops HD Report!! Chad is joined by a full panel as we recap a busy week of college hoops. It was a wild week in the SEC with Auburn getting a huge win at Florida and Texas A&M playing their way into 1st place. It was a big week in the Big 12 with Texas Tech knocking off Houston and BYU and Arizona continuing to win.

A full Hoops HD panel have all submitted their own individual seedlists. They were then cross country scored by Chad to form a master seedlist, and it is revealed to the panel Selection Sunday style team by team and line by line. They discuss, assess, and debate each team as they are revealed. See who the #1 seeds are, who the rest of the protected seeds are, who is on the bubble, and who just missed it.

We are 7 weeks away from Selection Sunday as we continue to make our NCAA tourney predictions. HoopsHD’s Jon Teitel correctly picked 66 of the 68 teams that made the 2025 tourney: 62 of his 66 were within 1 spot of their actual seed and 52 were right on the money. He will spend the upcoming months predicting which 68 teams will hear their names called on March 15th.

HIGHLIGHTED GAMES (or lack thereof): -There are very few games today due to postponments and rescheduling because of the Winter Storm Rocco. You can get all the updates on schedule changes on ROCCO MILLER"s X FEED -USC AT WISCONSIN (Big Ten). Both teams are inside the bubble right now and both appear to be starting to play better, but both still have some work to do and this is a chance for each team to give their resume a bit of a boost.

NEWS AND NOTES: -There have been lots of time changes and postponements due to the winter storms expected to hit various parts of the country today. We have named it Winter Storm Rocco, and our good friend Rocco Miller is tracking all the changes on his X ACCOUNT -Saint Louis absolutely blew Saint Bonaventure off of their own floor 97-62. This really isn't a great profile win, but it was a very impressive road win against a team that's not easy to beat on the road.

-Wisconsin continues to roll as they picked up another decisive road win at Penn State 98-71. The Badgers didn't get up to speed right at the start of November, but they are up to speed now. I realize Penn State is not the strongest of teams, but to blow them out on the road like they did is still an impressive statement.

As most of the country gets ready for Winter Storm Rocco (click here for updates to time changes for affected games), it is our colleague John Stalica's turn to prepare the staff bracket for Hoops HD this week. This is NOT like Jon Teitel or Rocco Miller's bracket where they attempt to guess the Selection Committee; rather this is what Stalica feels the bracket should look like through games played last night.

For our latest UNDER THE RADAR Video Podcast - CLICK HERE NEWS AND NOTES: -Nebraska is still unbeaten after holding off Washngton 76-66. So is Arizona after pulling away from Cincinnati in the second half and winning 77-51. -Dayton suffered their first conference loss and it came on the road to La Salle 67-64. That is what we in the business call a 'Bad Loss.' …

Tonight's feature conference is the America East where five teams are separated by just one game. Vermont still looks like the best team in the league, but they are by no means invincible and teams like UMBC are keeping pace with them. We run through the other 22 leagues and discuss a wild week in the CAA with Charleston and Hofstra both dropping two games and UNC Wilmington jumping into 1st place, a logjam in the American where it looks like six different teams might have a chance to win it, we look at the MAC and discuss whether or not Akron can keep pace with Miami OH, Murray State suffered an upset loss in the Missouri Valley, and we recap a wild night of UTR action.

NEWS AND NOTES: -UCLA, after being trashed by their head coach within the last week for constantly underperforming, did not underperform last night. They got what was their biggest win of the year by far with a 69-67 home win over Purdue, which will help resuscitate their season. Even though it was home win it was still a really good win.

To watch our latest HOOPS HD REPORT Video Podcast - CLICK HERE HIGHLIGTHED GAMES: -INDIANA AT MICHIGAN (Big Ten). Indiana fans are happier than most fanbases ever get to be this morning, but it's for a different sport. As far as their basketball team, they are outside the bubble and need a win like this to slingshot them put the seedlist.

Chad is joined by David Griggs, Jon Teitel, and Rocco Miller as we recap another busy week in college basketball and take a look at the big week that's coming up. Kentucky came from behind to win two big games on the road and seem to be turning things around. Texas also had a big week with a couple of big wins, but lost to their rivals Texas A&M on Saturday who is also playing really well.

CONFERENCE TOURNAMENTS Below are the brackets for the 2026 Division I conference tournaments.  The conferences are arranged in alphabetical order.  Click on a bracket for a larger, printa…

A full panel has been assembled 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.

We are 8 weeks away from Selection Sunday as we begin to make our NCAA tourney predictions. HoopsHD’s Jon Teitel correctly picked 66 of the 68 teams that made the 2025 tourney: 62 of his 66 were within 1 spot of their actual seed and 52 were right on the money. He will spend the upcoming months predicting which 68 teams will hear their names called on March 15th.

NEWS AND NOTES: -Top ranked Arizona continues to do what top ranked teams do, and that's beat good teams on the road. They went into UCF and picked up another notable road win 84-77. UCF is still solidly inside the bubble and it wouldn't shock me to see them pick up some more big wins before it's all over. -Iowa State, who was ranked 2nd (and I guess still is) lost their second straight game on Saturday, and this one was far more surprising than the first.

HoopsHD’s Jon Teitel will spend the upcoming months covering several Georgetown basketball home games, with (hopefully) a very special reward coming in March. He was in attendance Saturday afternoon for the Hoyas’ game at Capital 1 Arena and prepared this photo essay about their matchup against UConn. Today's game is a tale of 2 coaches going in completely opposite directions. On the far sideline stands UConn coach Dan Hurley, who is 10-0 in his career vs.

SPOTLIGHT GAME: -THE CITADEL AT VMI (SoCon). They are the two worst teams in the SoCon, and they are arguably two of the worst teams in all of D1, but this is still a great rivalry! It's one of my favorites!! Therefore, we will ALWAYS spotlight the Silver Shako Trophy!!! HIGHLIGHTED GAMES: -VIRGINIA AT SMU (ACC). I think UVA is getting pretty close to protected seed range and a solid road win like this would help get them even closer.

-Liberty had to sweat out New Mexico State at home, which was kind of a surprise because I was expecting them to kind of cruise, but they held on to win 73-71. -Hofstra, who had been on an absolute rampage, lost a real head-scratcher last night at Stony Brook 76-71. I know this is a bit of a rivalry, but it still seemed like it's a game that Hofstra should have cruised through.

Before you look at the bracket below, I want to make sure you know what you're looking at. This IS NOT an attempt to guess what the real selection committee will do on Selection Sunday. We have people at Hoops HD who do that and they are much better at guessing the real committee than I am. This is merely myself being a committee of one selecting and seeding the field the way I think it…

For our latest UNDER THE RADAR Video Podcast - CLICK HERE NEWS AND NOTES: -Purdue got an absolute battle from Iowa. The Hawkeyes actually had a lead for most of the game, but Purdue finally got control in the final couple of minutes and escaped 79-72. Iowa is a team I've been beating up on pretty hard for their lack of a profile, but I gotta admit that they did look really good last night despite the loss.

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.

HoopsHD’s Jon Teitel spends much of his time in DC at Georgetown basketball home games, but with the NCAA Convention heading to the Gaylord National Resort and Convention Center this week, he decided to check it out in person and prepared this photo essay from his day at National Harbor. Transportation was easier than I expected: subway to King Street, bus to Convention Center, just over 1 hour door-to-door.
