Hoops HD Daily Rundown – Friday, Jan 23rd

-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.

-UNC Wilmington fell on the road 77-70 to William & Mary for their first loss in the CAA. They are still an impressive 17-3 on the year, but with such a weak schedule any loss will be looked at as a setback.

-Portland State is still perfect in Big Sky play after a 65-61 win at Eastern Washington

-OHIO STATE AT MICHIGAN (Big Ten). Michigan is in the hunt for a #1 seed, and perhaps the top overall seed, and Ohio State is trying to fight their way inside the bubble. If they could somehow pull off this upset it’s the kind of win that can slingshot them inside the bubble.

-FGCU @ Lipscomb (Atlantic Sun) – Lipscomb looks to hold serve and stay on top of the ASun standings

-Saint Louis @ Saint Bonaventure (Atlantic 10) – this will be a tough road test for SLU, but it’s one they should be able to win if they really are a top 25 caliber team. The Bonnies just snapped a six game losing streak, but they are still 7-2 at home

-Indiana @ Rutgers (Big Ten) – Indiana needs this road win to keep within arms reach of the bubble

-The Citadel @ East Tennessee State (SoCon) – East Tennessee State should hold serve at home and stay atop the SoCon standings

-Akron @ Ohio U (MAC) – Akron is one of the best teams in the MAC and is just a game behind Miami OH in the conference standings. This is a tough road test, but it’s one they can win

-Utah State @ Colorado State (Mountain West) – Utah State is looking to snap a two game losing streak. While this is a tough road game to win, it’s one they can win and one they sort of need
