Feb. 14-20, 2022

A whole host of feature games this week, 5 to be exact. 4 conferences are involved so let's start in the American.

2/16/22- UConn (Randolph Childress) @ ECU (Al Hutt) -- While the foul count was fairly close, ECU seemed to have a lot more shooting fouls and took advantage from the line, outscoring the Huskies by 12 on the line. That led to an important home victory.

Final Score: ECU- 71, UConn- 63

Now we move to the Big Ten:

2/16/22- Michigan State (Al Mighty) @ Northwestern (Ess Vee) -- The Spartans kept Northwestern on a downward spiral by hitting 11 three pointers and they continue to roll.

Final Score: Michigan State- 78, Northwestern- 69

To the SEC we go:

2/16/22- Alabama (Roy Rogers) @ Kentucky (Patrick Hutt) -- Kentucky couldn't hit the broad side inside the three point line in this one, shooting just 34.6% for the game. 12 of their 18 made shots were three pointers. They died by the trey tonight.

Final Score: Alabama- 68, Kentucky- 64

And finally, we head to the Pac 12 for a double dip:

2/17/22- UCLA (Tim Shepard) @ Stanford (Benito Sanchez) -- This was a very odd game, and one where the foul count swung towards the vistors. Both teams hit 13 three pointers, and overall Stanford made 7 more field goals than UCLA. But the free throw line was a different story: Stanford 3-4, UCLA 21-26. There's your ball game.

Final Score: UCLA- 72, Stanford- 68

2/17/22- Washington State (DeShawn St. John) @ Colorado (Rob Nielsen) -- Call it overconfidence on Colorado's part, but the Cougars jumped off to a fast start, gaining an 11 point halftime lead. They turned the ball over 8 times, all leading to a monumental upset as the last place team in the Pac 12 absolutely shocked the Pac 12 leaders in convincing fashion.

Final Score: Washington State- 73, Colorado- 63. (Wow!)

Now for the rest of the weekly recap:

Hartford (David Ginsberg) -- 15-13, 9-6 T-2nd America East.

2/16/22 at UMass Lowell (W 62-47).
2/20/22 vs. New Hampshire (W 52-32).

The Hawks are trying to finish on a positive note, as they've won 5 of their last 6. They can't win the America East title, and with a 4 team tie for second, they could finish anywhere between 2nd and 5th if they win their final conference game of the season, and if they lose, anywhere between 2nd and 6th.

UConn (Randolph Childress) -- 14-12, 9-5 T-2nd American.

2/16/22 at ECU- feature game, highlighted above.
2/19/22 vs. South Florida (W 59-46).

A split for the Huskies this week, as they are holding on to slim postseason hopes.

ECU (Al Hutt) -- 15-13, 8-7 6th American.

2/16/22 vs. UConn- feature game, highlighted above.
2/19/22 vs. UCF (W 59-46).

What a difference a week makes, as the Pirates win 2 games to get back over .500 in conference play.

Tulsa (Will Brown) -- 14-12, 9-5 T-2nd American.

2/16/22 at South Florida (L 70-48).
2/19/22 vs. Temple (W 98-95).

A split for the Golden Hurricane, who really needed a better effort at South Florida.

#11 Duke (Dean Hoo) -- 22-5, 12-3 T-1st ACC.

2/16/22 vs. #21 North Carolina (W 85-77).
2/19/22 at #17 Louisville (L 88-71).

A split for the Blue Devils, but that loss to Louisville now has them in a 3 way tie for 1st, and it doesn't get any easier next week.

TCU (Bee Mighty) -- 12-13, 6-8 T-7th Big 12.

2/14/22 at #4 Oklahoma (W 77-68).
2/19/22 at Oklahoma State (L 85-77).

A strange trip through Oklahoma for the Horned Frogs as they got a split, but not the way I was expecting. A huge upset at Oklahoma but they couldn't compound it by beating Oklahoma State.

Michigan State (Al Mighty) -- 19-6, 11-3 2nd Big Ten.

2/16/22 at Northwestern- feature game, highlighted above.
2/19/22 at Penn State (W 73-55).

The Spartans continue to roll, with 4 more wins. That's 7 of their last 8, and barring an upset, they'll get 2 more next week.

Northwestern (Ess Vee) -- 15-11, 7-7 T-5th Big Ten.

2/16/22 vs. Michigan State- feature game, highlighted above.
2/19/22 vs. Ohio State (W 83-73).

The Wildcats split this week, and are 1 of 6 teams in a tie for 5th place in the Big Ten. They now start on a 3 game road trip in which none of the 3 games will be easy.

Hawaii (B.B. Gunn) -- 16-10, 7-6 T-3rd Big West.

2/17/22 at Cal State Fullerton (W 78-76).
2/19/22 vs. UC Davis (W 79-69).

2 wins for the Warriors who are back over .500 in conference play and seem to be picking up a little momentum.

Rice (Charlie Shocker) -- 15-10, 7-7 T-6th Conference USA.

2/17/22 vs. Western Kentucky (L 72-63).
2/19/22 vs. North Texas (W 79-77).

A home split for the Owls, who can't be losing to 7 win teams like Western Kentucky if they want to have a shot at the postseason.

Colorado (Rob Nielsen) -- 18-8, 10-4 T-2nd Pac 12.

2/17/22 vs. Washington State- feature game, highlighted above.
2/19/22 vs. Washington (L 80-65).

A week to forget for the Buffaloes, who have fallen out of first place thanks to a couple tough losses. The Washington loss can be forgiven, but Washington State? Coach Nielsen better get these guys back on the right track when they hit the road next week.

Stanford (Benito Sanchez) -- 17-7, 10-4 T-2nd Pac 12.

2/17/22 vs. UCLA- feature game, highlighted above.
2/19/22 vs. California (W 77-56).

A split for the Cardinal, who look to have a good path at a 20 win season if they can finish strong, as 3 of their last 4 regular season games are winnable, with the other a toss-up.

UCLA (Tim Shepard) -- 18-8, 10-4 T-2nd Pac 12.

2/17/22 at Stanford- feature game, highlighted above.
2/19/22 vs. Arizona (L 66-48).

A split for the Bruins, who lost a chance to jump into first place after getting hammered at home. If there's 1 team that has Coach Shepard's number, it's the Bruins.

Washington State (DeShawn St. John) -- 9-17, 1-13 12th (last) Pac 12.

2/17/22 at Colorado- feature game, highlighted above.
2/19/22 vs. Arizona State (L 73-52).

The only thing I can think of is that Colorado just look past the Cougars, as the burden is over, and Washington State has won their first Pac 12 game of the season! It might be their only win, but anytime you can avoid an 0-fer, it's a good thing.

Alabama (Roy Rogers) -- 17-9, 11-3 2nd SEC.

2/16/22 at Kentucky- feature game, highlighted above.
2/19/22 vs. Florida (W 64-55).

The Crimson Tide continue to roll, getting by Kentucky and Florida both, 2 formidable opponents. The SEC title is still in their grasp, as long as they can take care of business next week.

#24 Kentucky (Patrick Hutt) -- 19-8, 8-6 T-4th SEC.

2/16/22 vs. Alabama- feature game, highlighted above.
2/19/22 vs. South Carolina (W 102-65).

A split for the Wildcats, and it's been a rough year for them. In Coach Hutt's time at Kentucky, they have now set a record for most conference losses in a season. Before this season, the most they'd lost was 5.

Troy (Brett Hawkins) -- 16-11, 10-7 3rd Sun Belt.

2/17/22 at Appalachian State (L 73-60).
2/19/22 at UT Arlington (W 81-68).

Another split for the Trojans. They are still in the midst of their best season in the Coach Hawkins era, but they sure would like to finish strong as they are still 1 game out of first place in the conference.

Here's a look at the national top 25 heading into the week of Feb. 21-27:

Duke drops 1 spot in the top 25 after their bad loss to Louisville, while Michigan State jumps into the top 25 for the first time in weeks, even months. Kentucky drops out of the top 25 after their loss to Alabama, while the Pac 12 continues to see a lack of respect as Stanford and Colorado lose all their votes after splits this week, and UCLA still can't buy a vote.

Probably not much change for our 17 teams, but let's take a look:

Locks: Duke, Michigan State, Stanford, UCLA, Alabama, Kentucky
In: Colorado

A couple changes from last week, as the same 7 teams are still projected either locks or safely in, but there's a change in the order:

Colorado, with their 2 losses last week, has dropped from being a lock to just safely in.

On the flip side, Alabama, with their 2 wins this week, has raised from safely in, to being a lock.

A split for the Wildcats, and it's been a rough year for them. In Coach Hutt's time at Kentucky, they have now set a record for most conference losses in a season. Before this season, the most they'd lost was 5. Troy (Brett Hawkins) -- 16-11, 10-7 3rd Sun Belt. 2/17/22 at Appalachian State (L 73-60). 2/19/22 at UT Arlington (W 81-68). Another split for the Trojans. They are still in the midst of their best season in the Coach Hawkins era, but they sure would like to finish strong as they are still 1 game out of first place in the conference.

Kentucky drops out of the top 25 after their loss to Alabama, while the Pac 12 continues to see a lack of respect as Stanford and Colorado lose all their votes after splits this week, and UCLA still can't buy a vote.

On the flip side, Alabama, with their 2 wins this week, has raised from safely in, to being a lock.
