Note: Before the breakdown by Quadrant, you’ll find a lineup broken down by telecast window. Within each window, I’ve listed games by tip time with the quadrants on the left.
Reminders of the different groupings are in the table below.

Quad 1 For Both Teams (1/1: 1 Game)
Top 30 at Top 75
8. Michigan State Spartans (14-4, 6-1 Big Ten) at 50. Indiana Hoosiers (14-4, 4-3), 8:30 p.m. (FS1)
We’ve now had two consecutive nights featuring a Big Ten road win. Can the Spartans make it three in a row? They’ll have to improve upon the 42-point performance they offered in their last road game (at Purdue).
Quad 2 For Host/Quad 1 For Visitor (2/1: 2 Games)
31–75 at Top 75
43. Minnesota Golden Gophers (10-8, 4-4 Big Ten) at 18. Ohio State Buckeyes (12-6, 2-5), 6:30 p.m. (FS1)
42. USC Trojans (15-3, 4-1 Pac-12) at 17. Oregon Ducks (15-4, 4-2), 11 p.m. (ESPNU)
Both Minnesota and Ohio State could use a win in Columbus—the Golden Gophers to earn a little bit of bubble breathing room and the Buckeyes to stop their own slide to the bubble, thanks to the fact they’ve managed one win in their last six games. Later, current Pac-12 co-leader, USC, begins its Oregon road swing with the aim of more firmly establishing itself as a conference contender. While the Trojans have largely struggled on trips to Eugene, they did beat the Ducks there two years ago.
Quad 2 For Both Teams (2/2: 2 Games)
31–75 at 76–135
48. Washington Huskies (12-7, 2-4 Pac-12) at 78. Utah Utes (10-7, 1-4), 8 p.m. (Pac-12 Networks National, Mountain, & Washington)
33. BYU Cougars (14-6, 3-2 WCC) at 120. Pacific Tigers (15-6, 3-2), 10 p.m. (Stadium)
In Salt Lake City, Washington, last seen giving a game away to Oregon in Seattle on Saturday, will look to hand Utah a fifth straight loss. Meanwhile, BYU and Pacific meet with both looking to dig their way out of the five-way tie for second in the WCC.
Quad 3 For Host/Quad 1 For Visitor (3/1: 4 Games)
76–160 at Top 75
87. UConn Huskies (10-7, 1-3 AAC) at 34. Houston Cougars (14-4, 4-1), 9 p.m. (ESPNU)
102. Washington State Cougars (12-7, 3-3 Pac-12) at 26. Colorado Buffaloes (14-4, 3-2), 10 p.m. (Pac-12 Networks National, Mountain, & Washington)
97. San Francisco Dons (14-6, 3-2 WCC) at 40. Saint Mary’s Gaels (16-4, 3-2), 10:30 p.m. (CBSSN)
133. UCLA Bruins (9-9, 2-3 Pac-12) at 64. Oregon State Beavers (12-6, 2-4), 11 p.m. (FS1)
Houston must beat UConn, which has dropped four of its last five, to tie Tulsa for the American lead. In the Pac-12, Colorado will welcome a Washington State team that’s coming off a surprising home sweep of the Oregon schools. Considering the Buffaloes have already dropped two games in Boulder this year, a win isn’t guaranteed. Oregon State, meanwhile, will attempt to improve its bubble positioning by taking care of business against a UCLA team that only managed 50 points in defeating California on Sunday night. Like BYU and Pacific, USF and Saint Mary’s would both like to find themselves in a shrunken WCC chase pack. However, the Gaels will have a shot at completing an early season sweep, thanks to a 69-58 win at War Memorial on January 2nd.
Quad 1 For Host/Quad 3 For Visitor (1/3: 1 Game)
Top 30 at 136–240
24. Liberty Flames (19-1, 5-0 ASUN) at 196. North Florida Ospreys (11-9, 4-1), 7 p.m. (ESPN+ ($))
The top two teams in the ASUN, referring to both the conference standings and the NET, meet in Jacksonville.
Quad 3 For Host/Quad 2 For Visitor (3/2: 1 Game)
76–160 at 76–135
152. Pepperdine Waves (9-10, 2-3 WCC) at 84. Santa Clara Broncos (16-4, 3-2), 10 p.m. (NBCS California/AT&T SN Rocky Mtn./Root Sports/WCC Network)
Santa Clara, the fifth team in that massive logjam for second in the WCC, hosts a Pepperdine squad that’s a game back, all alone in seventh.
