Ball Up Top is back for 2026 and ready to roll. Chauny, Greer and Tyler hold things down this week, recapping a messy week for SEC coaches, preview one of the biggest matchups of the NCAA women’s basketball season (and our first 10/10 Must-Watch game on the Watch Guide) and take a straw poll on midseason All-Americans.

If you enjoy Ball Up Top, please let us know on Apple and/or Spotify. We’d love it if you left us five stars and a nice review to help spread the good word of ball knowledge!

The show jumps right in with a retelling of Texas head coach Vic Schaefer’s comments regarding his gauntlet road trip (@ LSU and @ South Carolina on back-to-back games). Tyler, Chauny and Greer lay out their opinions and their disapproval of the Longhorns coach’s agenda setting ahead of a big game against the Gamecocks.

After the crew touches on Schaefer’s scheduling comments and Ole Miss head coach Yolette McPhee-McCuin’s issue with her team’s lack of movement in the AP Top 25, the discussion pivots to midseason All-Americans and which players are on the top of that list.

The show wraps up with a preview of South Carolina vs. Texas, one of the biggest women’s college basketball games of the year and a rematch of one of last season’s Final Four pairings.
