Overview
- ESPN and CBS Sports report Kansas State is working toward a deal with Alexander, with no agreement announced yet.
- Alexander led Belmont to a 26-6 season and the Missouri Valley regular-season title and has logged 10 straight 20-win campaigns.
- Kansas State finished 12-20 overall and 3-15 in Big 12 play in 2025-26, setting up a significant rebuild for the next coach.
- Coverage notes Alexander’s teams have been strong offensively, though he has not coached Belmont in an NCAA tournament game after the 2020 event was canceled and recent MVC seasons yielded one-bid fields.
- Reporters say some Belmont players with remaining eligibility, including Sam Orme and Drew Scharnowski, could consider transferring if the hire is finalized.
