Dribbles & Scribbles
-- We'll have at least one new coach in the Summit League in 2026-27, as Kansas City is relieving Marvin Menzies of his duties at the end of the season. The 'Roos (4-14, 1-3 Summit) have one win over a Division I opponent.
-- Preseason favorite McNeese, Nicholls, and Stephen F. Austin now share first place in the Southland after McNeese's 94-68 rout of Nicholls.
-- Arkansas-Pine Bluff and Prairie View A&M share the SWAC lead after A&M's 73-61 win over UAPB.
-- If you're a Comcast/Xfinity subscriber, you now might (depending on your cable package) get some Peacock games on the NBC Sports Network (NBCSN). I just discovered yesterday NBCSN is an addition to our cable package. Check out channel 1211 to see if you get it. Indiana @ Michigan State is tonight's NBCSN (and Peacock) headliner.

Deep Thoughts, by Buzz Studley
If you made six futures bets (to cut down the nets on Championship Monday), what would you guess your odds are for a winning ticket if you bought Arizona (16-1), Houston (14-1), Indiana (80-1), Michigan (25-1), Michigan State (30-1), and Purdue (8.5-1)? Just wondering, for "a guy I know" who's regretting he didn't add Iowa State to his collection.
