  • Michigan & UConn are in class of their own + Tobacco Road Updates & Nebraska's Opportunity
    Jan 2 2026
    Michigan and UConn are beginning to separate themselves from the rest of the college basketball field — and the numbers back it up.

From there, we head to Tobacco Road, where Duke, North Carolina, and NC State all face pivotal moments that could define their seasons. Is Caleb Wilson pushing his way into the National Player of the Year conversation? Can NC State take advantage of critical Quad 1 opportunities at home? We also examine Nebraska’s perfect start and what Friday’s matchup against Michigan State means for the Huskers’ national perception. Plus, Rothstein rankings spotlight the top power forwards in college basketball, key news and notes from around the country, and a full slate of must-watch and under-the-radar games this weekend.
