    Armadillo: Tuesday's six-pack

    -- Texas 61, Baylor 59 OT-- Seven players were ejected for leaving bench area after a non-scuffle after players dove on a loose ball near halfcourt.. There was jawing after the game; could be interesting if teams meet in Big X tournament.

    -- James Harden is suspended for tonight's game with Atlanta after his flagrant foul in Sunday's game with Cleveland.

    -- Bronx Bombers played an intrasquad game Monday with a pitching machine; not sure why. They've got a boatload of pitchers in the locker room, no?

    -- Padraig Harrington won at Doral, second week in a row the #297 ranked golfer in the world won on the PGA Tour. Steve Webster is now #297 in the world.

    -- Iowa State 77, Oklahoma 70-- Sooners led 37-18 at half; Iowa State had 31-4 run in second half as Hilton Coliseum went nuts.

    -- Spring training games start today; its going to snow again in Albany tonite. Oy.

    Armadillo: Tuesday's List of 13: Looking at college tournament histories......

    A look at some of the conference tournament histories that start this week

    13) MAAC-- Siena won both the regular season and conference tournament in 2008-10, but since then, the top seed hasn't won the tournament. #1 seed lost in the semis three of last four years, in the final last year.

    12) OVC-- Murray State went 16-0 in the OVC this year; they've been top seed in this tournament four times in last ten years and won it three of the four times. In last four years, four different teams won this tournament.

    11) CAA-- Eight of last 11 tournament winners aren't in this league anymore; #1 seed has won it once in last four years. This year, four teams tied for top spot so Sunday's semi doubleheader should be exceptional, if top seeds all win Saturday. In last four years, four different teams have won this tournament.

    10) WCC-- Gonzaga and everyone else, though Bulldogs lost their last game at home to BYU. Zags won this tournament eight of last 11 years; St Mary's won twice and San Diego once. Gonzaga is looking like a #2 seed in NCAAs; every other team is trying to play their way in, with BYU having the best shot. Cougars lost in finals last year, split six games in WCC tourney since joining the league.

    9) MVC-- Wichita State/Northern Iowa are far and away the two best teams this year; top seed won this tournament last two years, after winning only twice in decade before that. Shockers/Panthers' only two losses this year came against each other. Four of last six WCC finals were decided by 4 or less points.

    8) Summit-- Even though tourney is played at a neutral site, top seed has won six of last seven tournaments. South Dakota State/North Dakota State tied for top spot this year. Bison won a game in NCAA tournament last March.

    7) Horizon-- Top seed won this tournament six of last ten years, but 7-9 Milwaukee won LY. Wright State lost in final last two years, but they're 3-13 this year. Valpo is top seed this year at 13-3; Green Bay 12-4, Cleveland State/Oakland 11-5. League isn't as good as it was when Butler was here.

    6) Big X-- One of few leagues where teams play everyone else twice, so every game in this tournament will be a third meeting this season. Top seed won this tournament five of last eight years, Kansas wins the regular season every year, but they've "only" won the conference tournament three of the last six years.

    5) Big East-- St John's plays tournament on its home floor; they're #8 in country in experience, 6th-to-last in bench minutes. Winning three days in row could be an issue. Last 11 years, lower-seeded team is 6-5 SU in tournament final. Of last seven Big East champions, only one is still in the league.

    4) Big 14-- Either Michigan State or Ohio State won this tournament the last five years (OSU three, MSU two); Top-seeded Wisconsin last won this event in 2008; #1 seed won this tournament five of last eight years. Maryland went 12-4 in its first year in the league; will be weird seeing them play in this tournament, instead of the ACC.

    3) Pac-12-- Arizona is obviously best program here, but they haven't won this event in last 12 years; lower-seeded team won finals in this tournament last six years, with last four tournaments won by all different teams. Last time top seed won this event was UCLA is 2008. Having tourney in Las Vegas has upgraded it.

    2) SEC-- If Kentucky doesn't win this it'll be national news, but top seed won the SEC tourney only twice in last seven years. Kentucky played in four of last five finals, but lost last two as different team won this event the last four years. Five of last six finals were decided by seven or less points.

    1) Mountain West-- New Mexico won this turnament last three years, but the wheels have fallen off for Lobos this season, in a down year for the league. San Diego State is the only lock for NCAAs, but Bosie State is hot and could get in with strong showing here. UNLV is host team but they haven't won this event since 2008.

            Red-hot Hammond gets start in Minnesota

            Andrew Hammond will get the start in net as the Ottawa Senators visit the Minnesota Wild Tuesday, according to the team's official twitter account.

            Hammond has been on an absolute tear since being called up from Ottawa's AHL team in Binghamton. The 27-year-old has appeared in six games and made five consecutive starts. He has a 5-0 record, microscopic 1.31 goals against average and formidable .957 save percentage.

            The 27-year-old has backstopped the Sens to a five game winning streak, with each win coming as an underdog at the betting window. He's earned victories with the Senators as +118, +102, +180, +239 and +148 dogs.

            The Senators are presently +145 while the Wild are -182.




            NHL roundup: Rangers dump slumping Predators

            NEW YORK -- Goaltender Cam Talbot stopped 25 shots as the New York Rangers emerged with a 4-1 victory against the Nashville Predators at Madison Square Garden on Monday night.

            Right winger Rick Nash, defenseman Marc Staal, left winger Chris Kreider and center Dominic Moore scored for the Rangers, who are 9-1-1 in their past 11 games. Right winger Mats Zuccarello had two assists.

            The Rangers moved into first place in the Metropolitan with 84 points, tied with the New York Islanders, who lose the head-to-head tiebreaker by having played two more games.

            Left winger Matt Cullen scored for the Predators, who have lost three straight for the first time this season. Goaltender Pekka Rinne made 36 saves. Nashville still holds the league's best record despite its recent 2-4-1 slide.

            Blackhawks 5, Hurricanes 2

            CHICAGO -- Center Jonathan Toews scored twice, leading the Blackhawks to a win over the Hurricanes. It was Toews' third two-goal performance of the season, a big plus with team scoring leader Patrick Kane out for the next 10 to 12 weeks after surgery on a broken left clavicle.

            Chicago snapped a skid that reached four losses in six games. Carolina saw its three-game winning streak end.

            Chicago goalie Corey Crawford, who lost three of his previous four starts, stopped all but two of Carolina's 29 shots.

            Sharks 4, Canadiens 0

            SAN JOSE, Calif. -- Newcomer Ben Smith scored a goal and added an assist to help the Sharks earn their first win at SAP Center in nine attempts. He was acquired in a trade with the Chicago Blackhawks earlier in the day.

            Backup goalie Alex Stalock posted his second shutout of the season and fourth of his career with 20 saves. Defenseman Brent Burns had an assist on Stalock's shutout. He batted a diving shot by center David Desharnais just before it crossed the goal line seven minutes into the final period, a play confirmed by video review.

            Right winger Joe Pavelski, defenseman Matt Irwin and center Patrick Marleau also scored for San Jose. The loss snapped Montreal goalie Carey Price's franchise record 10-game winning streak. Price made 33 saves.
