27 games on the schedule this week, and 2 feature games. We'll start in the American.

1/11/23- Tulsa (Will Brown) @ UConn (Randolph Childress) -- A big game for both teams, but it was Tulsa who came out on top, taking advantage of 14 UConn turnovers and getting to the line more often to get a big road win.

Final Score: Tulsa- 62, UConn- 53

Now we move to the Pac 12:

1/12/23- UCLA (Tim Shepard) @ Stanford (Benito Sanchez) -- The Cardinal were lights out from the three point line, hitting 14 treys and also going 20-31 from the line as they keep the UCLA tailspin going.

Final Score: Stanford- 84, UCLA- 75

Now to the rest of the weekly recap:

Hartford (David Ginsberg) -- 9-11, 3-4 America East.

1/13/23 at New Hampshire (W 72-68).
1/15/23 at Albany (L 79-75).

A couple tight road games for the Hawks, as they split and both margins of victory were 4 points. The loss to Albany broke a 3 game winning streak.

UConn (Randolph Childress) -- 7-10, 4-3 American.

1/11/23 vs. Tulsa- feature game, highlighted above.
1/14/23 at Memphis (W 76-70).

A split this week for the Huskies, as they get an important road win at Memphis as they go into a tough 3 game stretch which involves at least 1 ranked team.

Tulsa (Will Brown) -- 8-9, 4-1 American.

1/11/23 at UConn- feature game, highlighted above.
1/14/23 vs. Temple (W 91-65).

2 more wins for the Golden Hurricane who are rolling to start conference play. A big showdown next week with a 12 win Cincinnati team.

Duke (Dean Hoo) -- 10-6, 2-2 ACC.

1/14/23 at #5 North Carolina (L 79-44).

1 game this week for the Blue Devils, and they get crushed in a rivalry game, still 2 more games that will be tough before they get back to the easier part of the schedule.

#18 TCU (Bee Mighty) -- 11-5, 3-2 Big 12.

1/9/23 at South Dakota (L 59-53).
1/14/23 vs. Iowa State (L 83-64).

A couple losses this week for the Horned Frogs, including an embarrassing non-conference loss on the road against a 5 win team. Definitely not the kind of momentum they wanted, but still a few winnable games coming up.

Michigan State (Al Mighty) -- 11-5, 2-2 Big Ten.

1/11/23 vs. Michigan (W 81-74).
1/14/23 at Illinois (L 70-62).

A split this week for the Spartans, who are still trying to regain the glory and consistency they once had. They better figure it out soon, because another tough part of the schedule is upcoming.

#22 Northwestern (Ess Vee) -- 11-4, 2-2 Big Ten.

1/11/23 at #20 Iowa (L 89-66).
1/14/23 at Purdue (W 85-78).

Another split for the Wildcats, who clearly weren't prepared to face Iowa. They'll need a better showing next time.

Hawaii (B.B. Gunn) -- 11-6, 1-3 Big West.

1/10/23 vs. Long Beach State (W 77-58).
1/14/23 vs. #14 UC Riverside (L 93-91).

All in all, a good week for the Warriors, who come out with a split but could have easily won both this week if not for a late game collapse against Riverside. We'll see what next week brings with 2 winnable road games.

FIU (Brett Hawkins) -- 12-3, 3-1 Conference USA.

1/12/23 vs. Southern Miss (W 80-72).
1/14/23 vs. Marshall (W 113-95).

2 more wins for the Golden Panthers, who continue their hot start, and man can they put up some points!

Rice (Charlie Shocker) -- 7-8, 2-2 Conference USA.

1/12/23 at #17 North Texas (L 80-73).
1/14/23 vs. South Dakota State (L 68-59).

The Owls fall back under .500 overall with 2 conference losses, but a good effort against North Texas. Unfortunately, 2 more ranked C-USA foes await them next week.

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

1/12/23 vs. Oregon State (W 61-53).
1/14/23 vs. Utah (W 60-40).

2 more wins for the Buffaloes who have a great start to conference play, but we'll find out a lot more about them in the coming weeks as the schedule toughness really increases.

Stanford (Rob Nielsen) -- 11-5, 3-1 Pac 12.

1/12/23 vs. UCLA- feature game, highlighted above.
1/14/23 at Oregon (W 79-70).

2 more wins for the Cardinal, after a conference opening loss. They continue the road trip next week.

UCLA (Tim Shepard) -- 8-8, 1-3 Pac 12.

1/12/23 at Stanford- feature game, highlighted above.
1/14/23 vs. #7 Arizona (L 92-74).

2 more losses for the Bruins, who are just shellshocked right now. They have chances to get their season back on track starting next week, and they'll need to pick it up.

Washington State (DeShawn St. John) -- 9-6, 2-2 Pac 12.

1/12/23 at Utah (W 63-60).
1/14/23 vs. Gonzaga (W 73-57).

Good week for the Cougars who get 2 wins, including a nice win over a tough Gonzaga team. In just 4 conference games, they already have almost as many conference wins as they did last season.

#25 Alabama (Roy Rogers) -- 11-5, 2-2 SEC.

1/11/23 vs. #4 Arkansas (W 66-58).
1/14/23 at Auburn (L 72-66).

A split for the Crimson Tide, who expended a lot of energy in an upset over Arkansas, and didn't have enough in the tank to go to Auburn and win too.

Here's a look at the national top 25 going into the week of Jan. 16-22:
