Under the Radar 2-17-2026

Tonight's feature conference is the Sun Belt, where the top six teams are separated by just one game and the top eight by just two games. This has added importance for the rest of the regular season because of the extension format that they use for the conference tournament. Troy appeared to be the best team a few weeks ago, but they've hit a skid and lost their lead. Marshall is looking good, James Madison is coming on strong, Appalachian State is in first place, and South Alabama is potentially dangerous. It should be a fun rest of the season!From there we run through the other 22 UTR conferences. Liberty and Navy are on the verge of clinching 1st place in their conferences. Stephen F Austin is a potentially dangerous team that is just two wins away from clinching the Southland. The OVC is also logjammed with six teams that can still end up in 1st place. Belmont is looking really strong out of the Missouri Valley. We discuss all that, and more! And, as we do every week, we close with this week's UTR Top Ten.Audio only tonight.
