Mike Yurcich: “I don’t think you can just abort the offense and what your players know. That’s very important. I think we have to get better at every position. But at the same time, we have to stay steady in our plan.” (NewsOK)

For Florida that name is Mike Gundy. Gundy may not be the first name Florida fans will mention on their wish list, but he could end up in the conversation depending on how the search process plays out. (CBS Sports)

Charlie Strong says five losses will never happen again. Might not want to put a number on it, Chuck. (Yahoo)

We could be in for one of the slowest college basketball seasons ever. I long for the days of the 24-second or 30-second shot clock in college hoops. (KenPom)
