Your College Basketball Sunday Viewing Guide: January 18, 2026

Story byAndrew FleckSun, January 18, 2026 at 8:12 AM UTC·3 min readKind of a quiet day on the ol’ college basketball front, at least in terms of national television. This is mostly because of the NFL Playoffs, as ESPN is broadcasting one of the games and so obviously that means that the network is occupied from 11am Central through 5:30pm. We can ask why Fox is going with mostly affiliate programming until their prime time schedule and FS1 has motocross and timbersports instead of college basketball for most of the day, but that’s a different issue. The majority of the 23 game national television schedule is women’s basketball, with the exception of four American Conference games, one Big Ten game, and one Big 12 game.

  • The highlights there are four ranked vs ranked games, all between 1pm and 7pm.
  • First it’s #20 Tennessee at #21 Alabama, then #6 LSU at #13 Oklahoma, then #12 Maryland at #3 UCLA, then finally #15 Michigan State at #11 Iowa.
