College basketball has felt like a sports soap opera recently, hasn't it?
Steve Alford got fired on his day off. Kansas just lost the most important big man in the Big 12 to a season-ending injury. Gonzaga reintroduced Geno Crandall and Killian Tillie, both of whom had missed extensive time due to injuries. Nevada lost for the first time all season -- to New Mexico, by 27 points. And Michigan State's Josh Langford missed his second game due to an ankle injury that might sideline him for a lengthy stretch.
