2 feature games to tell you about this week, and we'll start in the SEC.

1/6/16- Alabama (Roy Rogers) @ #23 Florida (Noah Oppenheimer) -- An instant classic for sure, as there were 35 combined turnovers, and both teams shot over 45%. 40 minutes wasn't enough to decide this one, but the Crimson Tide got it done in the extra frame.

Final Score: Alabama- 99, #23 Florida- 96 (OT)

And now to the Pac 12.

1/7/16- Colorado (Rob Nielsen) @ Washington State (DeShawn St. John) -- A low scoring affair in this one, but it wasn't all about defense, as both teams shot over 40%. Turnovers were a bit of an issue, but both teams really worked the clock. In the end though, the Buffaloes were way too much.

Final Score: Colorado- 57, Washington State- 41

And now for the rest of the weekly recap:

Hartford (David Ginsberg) -- 4-13, 3-2 America East.

1/6/16 vs. Stony Brook (L 73-49).
1/10/16 at UMass Lowell (W 62-46).

A split for the Hawks this week, as they stay above .500 in America East play.

ECU (Al Hutt) -- 5-10, 2-3 American.

1/6/16 vs. Tulsa (W 54-45).
1/9/16 vs. Houston (L 60-32).

A split for the Pirates, but they certainly couldn't find the scoring. Even in their win they only scored 45, but only 32 points in the loss? Wow.

Davidson (Randolph Childress) -- 7-7, 1-1 Atlantic 10.

1/6/16 vs. St. Louis (W 75-68).
1/9/16 at Richmond (L 78-64).

Your conventional split for the Wildcats, who win at home, lose on the road.

TCU (Bee Mighty) -- 5-10, 0-3 Big 12.

1/7/16 at Brown (W 59-45).
1/9/16 vs. #24 Iowa State (L 70-44).

Well, at least the Horned Frogs won their non-conference game this week, but the Big 12 is loaded!

Michigan (Cillian Tribble) -- 8-6, 1-1 Big 10.

1/6/16 at Penn State (W 77-58).
1/9/16 vs. Minnesota (L 90-72).

The Wolverines continue the trend of splits this week for FOFC human coached teams.

#7 Michigan State (AL Mighty) -- 12-2, 1-1 Big 10.

1/6/16 vs. #22 Illinois (W 95-83).
1/9/16 at #14 Ohio State (L 95-62).

Yikes! Not a good split at all for the Spartans, who were completely dominated at Ohio State. Those are the games they need to be competing in, games against top 25 opponents.

Hawaii (B.B. Gunn) -- 11-5, 2-0 Big West.

1/7/16 at UC Santa Barbara (W 92-73).
1/9/16 at UC Davis (W 86-77).

The Warriors become the first team this week not to split, and they did so in a good way, winning both games. That's 7 in a row.

Charlotte (Timmy Tribble) -- 6-7, 2-0 Conference USA.

1/7/16 at Marshall (W 73-67).
1/9/16 vs. Florida Atlantic (W 69-62).

Good way to open conference play for the 49ers, as they get 2 close wins.

Rice (Charlie Shocker) -- 7-6, 1-1 Conference USA.

1/7/16 at UAB (L 69-61).
1/9/16 vs. FIU (W 71-56).

The Owls will be kicking themselves, as they led a double digit lead slip away at UAB. This will eat at Coach Shocker for a while.

Monmouth (Thomas Carrano) -- 5-10, 4-5 MAAC.

1/8/16 vs. Niagara (L 63-51).

Just 1 game for the Hawks this week, a loss which puts them below .500 in the MAAC.

Norfolk State (Payten Carrano) -- 4-11, 0-2 MEAC.

1/4/16 vs. North Carolina A&T (L 69-65, OT).
1/7/16 at UNC Wilmington (W 54-43).

So close, yet so far for the Spartans, who gave up a 9 point halftime lead and lost the conference game in OT. They did go out of conference for a nice road win though.

Colorado (Rob Nielsen) -- 10-4, 2-0 Pac 12.

1/7/16 at Washington State- feature game, highlighted above.
1/9/16 at #20 Washington (W 86-77).

Great week for the Buffaloes as they sweep through the Washington trip with relative ease.

Stanford (Benito Sanchez) -- 13-2, 2-0 Pac 12.

1/7/16 at Oregon State (W 69-68).
1/9/16 at Arizona State (W 83-77).

2 very close wins for the Cardinal this week, as they continue to roll.

#3 UCLA (Tim Shepard) -- 13-1, 1-1 Pac 12.

1/7/16 at Arizona State (W 118-75).
1/9/16 vs. #10 Arizona (L 90-82).

The big rivalry between UCLA and Arizona goes the way of the Wildcats this time, as the Bruins lose their first game of the season.

Washington State (DeShawn St. John) -- 6-6, 0-2 Pac 12.

1/7/16 vs. Colorado- feature game, highlighted above.
1/9/16 at Oregon State (L 70-54).

Not a good week for the Cougars, who just flat out didn't look good at all in a pair of 16 point losses.

Alabama (Roy Rogers) -- 6-7, 2-0 SEC.

1/6/16 at #23 Florida- feature game, highlighted above.
1/9/16 at LSU (W 87-86).

It wasn't easy for the Crimson Tide, but they start SEC play on a great note, winning 2 games by a combined 4 points. Hey, a win is a win right?

#23 Florida (Noah Oppenheimer) -- 10-4, 0-2 SEC.

1/6/16 vs. Alabama- feature game, highlighted above.
1/9/16 at Texas A&M (L 85-73).

The Gators flip the script, losing both their games this week, not the way they wanted to start SEC play at all.

#16 Kentucky (Patrick Hutt) -- 12-2, 2-0 SEC.

1/6/16 vs. Tennessee (W 85-75).
1/9/16 at Vanderbilt (W 78-61).

The Wildcats get a couple wins to open SEC play, but neither one came easy, although it looks like all those top recruits are paying off (Oh wait, this is FBCB, not reality? My bad! lol).

Troy (Brett Hawkins) -- 6-9, 4-2 Sun Belt.

1/7/16 at UL Lafayette (W 49-46).
1/9/16 at Georgia State (L 59-44).

The Trojans split this week, both games being low scoring defensive battles.

Let's take a look at the weekly polls:

UCLA drops a couple spots after losing their first game, while Michigan State takes a big drop. Kentucky moves up a couple spots, while Stanford joins the media top 25! Florida, on the other hand, is completely out, not even receiving votes this week. Another team that has to be borderline from getting votes is Colorado, but not yet.

Can't believe Hawaii still isn't getting any votes in the mid-major polls. Unreal!
