year and his serve was given a sternKANSAS CITY, Mo. -- Oklahomas wild ride to the Final Four last spring was fueled by Buddy Hields shooting, Isaiah Cousins court vision and Ryan Spanglers power in the post.All of them are gone this season.The turnover isnt limited to the Sooners, either.Of all the leagues playing major college basketball, perhaps none will have a fresher look this season than the Big 12. The old guard that became household names -- Georges Niang at Iowa State, Devin Williams at West Virginia and Perry Ellis at Kansas -- either graduated or left school early, leaving in their wake dozens of starting jobs at schools across the league.Given the number of seniors we had graduate last year, a lot of new roles and minutes available, Sooners coach Lon Kruger said. Its not great to be young in any league, the Big 12 especially.Indeed, looking at the All-Big 12 teams of a year ago is likely to make some fans feel nostalgic, especially when you consider that the entire first team and 11 of the 15 players overall have departed.That includes Hield, Niang and Ellis, who were joined on the first team by Texas guard Isaiah Taylor and Baylor forward Taurean Prince. Williams and Kansas guard Wayne Selden Jr. left school after their junior years, while the Cousins and Spangler joined the Mountaineers Jaysean Paige and big man Rico Gathers of Baylor in exhausting their eligibility.Every day we find something new about our team, said Sooners senior Jordan Woodard.Those veteran departures are certain to cause some coaches plenty of heartburn.Theyre also welcomed by a couple whose teams return intact.You lost a lot of valuable members of teams, some of the greatest players in the history of the Big 12, from Buddy to Georges to Perry, said Kansas State coach Bruce Weber, who managed to weather his own growing pains with a bunch of newcomers last year.Those guys, if you look at those teams, they seem to have parts back, Weber said, but youre not sure about other people. I think thats the case with a lot of teams.The Sooners still have Woodard and junior Khadeem Lattin. The Bears will rely on juniors Al Freeman and Johnathan Motley along with senior Ishmail Wainwright. And even the Jayhawks have seniors Frank Mason III and Landen Lucas to go with junior Devonte Graham.Theyll be backed by some of the top freshmen in the country.Kansas guard Josh Jackson is considered by many the No. 1 recruit, and some analysts predict hell be chosen first in next years draft. Texas reeled in five-star prospects Jarrett Allen and Andrew Jones, and new TCU coach Jamie Dixon landed his first premier prospect in guard Jaylen Fisher.NEW COACHESThree new coaches will give the league an even fresher look.Dixon took over for the fired Trent Johnson after 13 seasons at Pittsburgh that included 11 trips to the NCAA Tournament. Chris Beard parlayed a 30-5 record in his only season at Arkansas-Little Rock into the top job at Texas Tech. And three solid seasons at Stephen F. Austin landed Brad Underwood the job Travis Ford held for eight seasons Oklahoma State.All have at least some ties to the Big 12: Dixon played for the Horned Frogs in their Southwest Conference days, Beard was an assistant to Bob Knight and Pat Knight at Texas Tech, and Underwood played at Kansas State and returned there as an assistant under Bob Huggins and Frank Martin.I dont consider our job a rebuild, said Beard, who also a student assistant at Texas under Tom Penders. We have eight returners and eight newcomers. Our job is to go to the next level.SURPRISING RETURNIowa State coach Steve Prohm said he was as surprised as anybody when guard Monte Morris returned for his senior season. Morris would likely have been a first-round draft pick, and was voted the leagues preseason player of the year.CLEAR FAVORITEThe Jayhawks were a unanimous pick to win their 13th straight title, which means they also got first-place votes from the three new coaches. That streak would match UCLA for the longest stretch of consecutive conference championships.Kansas dominance, it really comes down to three things: They have a great coach, great players and they never lose at home, Mountaineers coach Bob Huggins said. People have to go into Allen Fieldhouse and win once in a while, because the rest of us lose at home. 2017 Nike Free RN Distance 2 Mens/Womens Chlorine Blue/Electro Green/Black/White .

LOUDON, N.H. -- Kevin Harvick has thrived as NASCARs version of a Game 7 master, steeling his nerves and flourishing in those win-or-else races that kept a championship push alive.His Chase off to a rocky start, Harvick injected the Chase again with a rousing finish that eliminated a must-win race for him and parked him in the next playoff round.Harvick won Sunday at New Hampshire Motor Speedway to earn a spot in the second round of the NASCAR Sprint Cup playoffs, pulling away on a restart a year after a late loss at the track.Its kind of like an addiction, Harvick said. You just love the rush of being able to be behind and be able to perform and make that happen.Harvick finished 20th in the Chase for the Sprint Cup championship opener, which stuck him 15th in the standings. With another weak finish at New Hampshire, Harvick would have faced yet another race at Dover he may have had to win to advance.His lap times in the No. 4 Chevrolet only got faster deeper into the race, and he was soon nipping at Martin Truex Jr. and Matt Kenseth at the front of the field. Kenseth dominated the second half of the race and seemed poised to win the New Hampshire race for the third straight time.Harvick, the 2014 Sprint Cup champion, had enough juice in the Chevy to zip past Kenseth with five laps left and join Truex as the drivers locked in the next round. Truex won the Chase opener at Chicagoland, and he led a race-high 141 laps at New Hampshire.Harvick ran out of fuel late last year at New Hampshire to lose and faced a win-or-elimination race the next week at Dover. Harvick, who won for the third time this season, rallied for one of the biggest wins of his career to survive another round.He won in a similar situation in 2014 at Phoenix when he needed a victory to advance to the championship race. Harvick won the finale and the championship at Homeestead.dddddddddddd.The last two years, weve kind of just worn ourselves out and really stressed out over trying to perform at this level, he said.At Dover, its up to 14 other drivers to worry about a win.Chase drivers took the top eight spots Sunday. The 16-driver Chase for the Cup championship field will be cut to 12 after Dover.Kenseth led 105 of 300 laps and would have clinched with the win, just as he did last season at New Hampshire when he was in perfect position to take advantage of Harvicks fuel foul-up. Kenseth appeared to slow down just a bit off the last restart with five laps left, allowing Harvick to race side by side before he took off for his 11th win in 100 career starts with Stewart-Haas Racing.It was just a smooth restart. I just didnt want to spin the tires, Harvick said. I dont know what happened to him, or if I just timed it right.Kenseth won the May race at Dover and appears in solid shape to reach the second round.I let Kevin lay back on me, which were supposed to be side by side. I should have known better, Kenseth said. I should have just went really late in the zone and wait until he had to get up to my nose because he anticipated it just right and laid back. Plus, I spun the tires, and I got beat through [Turns] 1 and 2, and then it was over.Joe Gibbs Racing teammates Kenseth and Kyle Busch were second and third. They were followed by Chase drivers Brad Keselowski, Kurt Busch, Carl Edwards, Truex and Jimmie Johnson.Other Chase results: Kyle Larson was 10th, Joey Logano 11th, Chase Elliott 13th, Denny Hamlin 15th, Austin Dillon 16th, Jamie McMurray 19th, Tony Stewart 23rd, and Chris Buescher 30th.McMurray, Dillon, Stewart and Buescher are the bottom four drivers in the standings.
