I like a lot of what I see at the top of the Missouri Valley Conference basketball standings. Creighton, Northern Iowa, Wichita State and Indiana State are a combined 38-7 and all have some nice non-conference wins. Creighton is ranked No. 21. The Valley is gloating, and with good reason. The top of the league looks healthy.

The hallucinations begin, typically, after Forrest Nelson has been in the open water for nearly 24 hours, after he has been swimming for about 20 miles.
LAWRENCE — Everyone who follows college basketball wanted to see Ohio State's Jared Sullinger go head-to-head with Kansas' Thomas Robinson on Saturday afternoon at Allen Fieldhouse.
If my radar is working, the reaction to Charlie Weis' hire as Kansas' football coach is eliciting a mixture of amazement, incredulity and confusion.
TULSA — In this age of the one-and-done college basketball star, whose flame burns brightly then quickly disappears, there's something special about a team full of seniors.
