Arkansas basketball head coach John Calipari had thoughts on the changing state of the college basketball landscape.

In the Big Ten, one of the stories of the college basketball season is brewing. Nebraska improved to 11-0 for the first time in program history after recording an 83-80 upset win over No. 13 Illinois. Nebraska guard Jamarques Lawrence knocked down a 3-pointer with 0.2 seconds remaining to give No. 23 Nebraska its first ranked win of the season.

UCONN scored a big win over Florida at the Jimmy V Classic. How high will the Huskies climb in the next AP Top 25 poll?

The nice rise for the Cyclones was certainly deserved, but there is still a lot of competition around the nation. Coming in ranked first was the Michigan Wolverines, who proved by winning the Players Era Festival that they are a team to be reckoned with this year.

UConn completed the non-league portion of its schedule late Friday with a 71-63 victory over Texas that pushed the Huskies to 10-1 and kept them at No. 5 in Saturday morning's updated CBS Sports Top 25 And 1 daily college basketball rankings, where Michigan remains No. 1 for the fourth straight day.

Florida lost to UConn and Duke back-to-back games, plus TCU making it three losses in the past four games. The Gators are now 0-3 vs top 10 KenPom teams and 5-1 against the rest. George Washington falls into the rest category, but what I really like outside of this bounce-back spot on a neutral venue in Miami, FL, is that GW plays fast.
