THE SWAC IS BACK. With Prairie View giving LSU some mild stress tonight, the SWAC now has 6 teams in the top 300, an accomplishment that hasn't happened in over 20 years, when there were barely 300 teams in existence. People are saying the SWAC is "gaming the system" by playing so many buy games.

Regardless of what happens anywhere in sports tonight, the biggest upset will be 3-23 Jerome "not the RPI guy" Palm winning the opening tip against 20-3 Mohamed Wague, who comically whiffs on his attempt to gain control while Palm also barely connects.

Greg McDermott, a model of perfection for all the 2-foul participation absolutists. Then again, Creighton has only had 34 seconds all season where a starter has had 2 fouls in the first half. It took them 8 minutes to commit their first foul against Baylor.

Add it all up, and about 1 in 23 players on a roster this season have a first name that rhymes with -aden or -alen.

But there's a new sub-variant emerging, and that's Kaden. Interestingly, Kaden and Caden were equally named about 20 years ago in the general population. But there are zero Cadens in college basketball and 12 Kadens (which includes one Kadyn).

There was a sub-variant of Jalens -> Bradens & Aidans. These two names rose to prominence simultaneously a few years after Jalen. They are still rising. It's not too surprising that there will be two Bra[e]den Smith's playing for top 25 teams this season.

I have an unnatural obsession with player name trends, so indulge me for a few graphs about this season's names. First, the incredible wave of Jalens continues to decrease.
