Now almost a month into #NCAAB conference play, we looked through some of the top conferences and examined how #Kansas, #Purdue, #Xavier, #Arizona, and #Albama have fared in conference play thus far, and what it means for their seasons going forward: https://t.co/7o0cyPe7Tz

at half court for 20 seconds and then let their star go 1 on 1 at the end of games. Run offense for 15-20 seconds and keep the defense on their feet, maybe you get a layup or a switch out of it, and then let your guy go get you a bucket, like KSU did tonight. Great job by Tang.

[N2 Sports Analysis @N2Analysis]

Only caught the last 2 minutes of the game, but Kansas St really has something going. Tang has done a great job in year 1. Something that caught my eye at the end, KSU ran 15-20 seconds of offense before letting Nowell go in the PnR late. Too many times teams will hold the ball

Shoutout to @Stuckey2 for running a great bowl pool and all the insight all year. 2nd place finish caps off a great first #CFB season with our ratings and look forward to more progress being made in year 2!

@newjvbell270 @SouthernCard As for replacements, a lot can still change this season but 2 I would definitely look into would be Wes Miller and Pat Kelsey. Both have coached nearby and created a program. Another one that would probably never work out and is a complete long shot: Rick Pitino.

In this week's blog post, we take a look at the underwhelming start to the season for #Louisville and head coach Kenny Payne, and why his tenure at the helm should not last much longer: https://t.co/U1ZWhenzJu

[N2 Sports Analysis @N2Analysis]

@newjvbell270 @SouthernCard Yes, it’s a steep buyout, but is it really worth saving a couple million to hold onto him to risk falling even further? The risk that they end up viewed as Georgetown or Nebraska football is worse than eating a buyout now, especially since they just did for a more competent coach

In the first blog post of our new series, "Profile of a Champion", we analyzed the historical impact of high usage players on #NCAA championship caliber teams: https://t.co/14TG8cKhZ2

#Creighton:

Lose a close one at Texas, not a bad loss at all. Ryan Nembhard is a stud, was able to beat anyone who guarded him off the dribble the whole game, meanwhile his team was having their worst shooting performance of the season. If they can get closer to the 38% from 3

[N2 Sports Analysis @N2Analysis]

average on the season instead of the 15% today (including 3 late 3s from Scheierman to improve on the 1-20 start), this offense will be elite. Some credit to the Texas defense obviously, but this being Creighton’s first road game and first game back from Hawaii make us think this
