The opening week of college basketball rolls on with four non-conference road trips headlined by a pair of ranked hosts. No. 20 Alabama welcomes Arkansas State to Tuscaloosa on Friday at 7:30 p.m. ET, with the Red Wolves arriving at 1-0 after Ferguson poured in 20 points in their opener.

Out west, No. 25 BYU hosts Omaha in Provo at 9 p.m. The Mavericks come in off a 1-0 start powered by a 33-point outburst from Robert O. Wright — the kind of scoring night that will get the Cougars' attention on the scouting report.

In Madison, Wisconsin (1-0) takes on Delaware (1-0) on Friday at 7:30 p.m. ET. The Fightin' Blue Hens ride momentum from Chuck Bailey III, who scored 22 points in their season-opening win.

The lone Thursday tip sends Towson (0-1) to Salt Lake City to face Utah (1-0) at 9 p.m. The Utes survived a tight opener, edging Long Beach State 66-63 behind 20 points from Trey Campbell, and will look for a cleaner performance at home. For all four mid-major visitors, these games are early chances to bank a resume-building upset before conference play arrives.
