Thursday’s 6-pack
— Cubs’ 3B Kris Bryant lost his grievance, won’t be a free agent until after the 2021 season.
— Pacers 115, Bulls 106 OT— Oladipo scored 9 points in his season debut.
— Spurs 127, Jazz 120— Four San Antonio subs scored in double figures.
— Trailblazers 125, Rockets 112— Damian Lillard had his first triple-double.
— Free-agent reliever David Phelps signed a deal with the Brewers.
— Giants signed 3B Pablo Sandoval to a $2M deal with $750K in incentives.


Quote of the Day:
“When something goes wrong, who takes responsibility? Their answer: `Well, that’s what the data told us.’ What a crock. That’s what got ’em 1-31.”
Former Packers GM Ron Wolf, after the Cleveland Browns fired his son this week

Thursday’s quiz
Which college’s sports teams are known as the Chippewas?

Wednesday’s quiz
Super Bowl V was the first one with a single digit pointspread; Colts (+2.5) beat Dallas 16-13. Super Bowls III and IV were both won by double digit underdogs.

Tuesday’s quiz
Hank Aaron/Eddie Mathews combined to hit 863 home runs while teammates with the Braves.

************************************************** *********************************

Thursday’s List of 13: Doing some thinking out loud……

13) Marquette 84, Xavier 82, 2OT:
— Marquette star Howard (nose) missed the last 22:00 of game.
— Xavier lost in double OT; they were 11-25 on foul line. At home.
— Oddly, Xavier made 11-23 3-pointers.
— Marquette’s Sacar Anim scored a career-high 28 points.

12) George Washington 107, Davidson 104, 4OT’s
— Ten players scored in double figures.
— Three kids on GW played 59:00, 57:00, 56:00
— Two kids on Davidson played 58:00, 57:00.
— In a 60:00 game, there was a total of only 16 turnovers.

12) Seton Hall 64, DePaul 57— Blue Demons were 12-1 on Christmas and looked great; now they’re 1-7 in Big East and looking pretty much the same as they do every year.

11) Three of five games in the Atlantic 14 Wednesday went to OT.

10) Memphis 59, UCF 57— Tigers had lost four of their last six games; they really needed this road win.

9) Houston 69, East Carolina 59— Cougars are experience team #290, but Kelvin Sampson is one of the best coaches in the country. Houston is 17-4, 7-1 in the AAC.

8) Washington State 67, Arizona State 65— Last game of the night had some terrible free throw shooting down stretch; CJ Elleby scored a career-high 27 points, hitting game-winning 3-pointer with 0:05.4 left. Coogs are 4-5 in Pac-12; last time they finished .500 in Pac-12 was 2011.

7) Upsets:
— Mercer (+15) 71, East Tennessee State 55
— Lafayette (+9) 80, Colgate 78
— South Carolina (+7) 79, Arkansas 77
— Incarnate Word (+7) 84, Houston Baptist 82
— Texas (+5) 62, TCU 61
— South Dakota State (+4.5) 76, Oral Roberts 61

6) Texas Tech 89, West Virginia 81— Mountaineers lose in Lubbock for 4th year in a row.

5) Penn State 64, Indiana 49— Nevada and Indiana should trade coaches; Steve Alford could go home and be Indiana’s coach. Archie Miller would probably feel more welcomed in Reno.

4) Colorado State 92, Nevada 91— Speaking of Alford, his Wolf Pack.led by by 10 with 7:17 left but let one get away in Fort Collins, despite going 14-29 on arc. Rams outscored Nevada 23-7 on foul line; they’ve won six of their last seven games.

3) San Diego State 85, New Mexico 57— Lobos’ season is a train wreck; they’ve got three guys either suspended/thrown off team, and a 4th player has been hurt for four games. Aztecs led this game 20-2 before the second TV timeout.

What do I mean by train wreck? While the Lobos were in Reno over the weekend, an injured player rented an Air BnB in Albuquerque and threw a party, where two people were injured by gunfire.

Not good.

2) As it stands right now, ACC would be a 3-bid league for NCAA’s (Louisville, Duke, Florida State); NC State, Syracuse, Virginia are squarely on the bubble.

1) Rhode Island has won seven games in a row, is 15-5, 7-1 in A-14, and they’ve played schedule #65. Surprising team; good coaching job being done by David Cox- they host VCU Friday.

Friday’s quiz
Which NBA team drafted Joe Bryant, Kobe Bryant’s father, in the first round of the 1975 NBA Draft?

Thursday’s quiz
Central Michigan’s sports teams are known as the Chippewas.

Wednesday’s quiz
Super Bowl V was the first one with a single digit pointspread; Colts (+2.5) beat Dallas 16-13. Super Bowls III and IV were both won by double digit underdogs.

************************************************** ****************************

Friday’s List of 13: Random stuff with weekend here…….

13) From ESPN Stats/Info, and Elias Sports:

Kansas City Chiefs have gone with a pass play 61.4% of the time this season, including playoffs. The only teams with higher % prior to playing in a Super Bowl were the 2008 Cardinals (63.1%) and the 2009 Colts (62.8%). Both teams lost in the Super Bowl.

12) Ohio State freshman D.J. Carton is stepping away from the basketball program to focus on his mental health. Carton, the Buckeyes’ 3rd-leading scorer, 2nd-leading assist guy, averaging 10.4 ppg and 3.0 apg.

Ohio State lost six of its last eight games, after starting the season 11-1.

11) Nevada sportsbooks had handle of $5.3B last year, a 6.1% increase over 2018, and a hold of $329.1M, a 9.5% increase over the year before.

10) SEC commissioner Greg Sankey announced that approximately $651M of total revenue was divided among the 14 schools of the SEC for the 2018-19 fiscal year (up from $627.1M distributed in 2017-18). That’s $44.6M per school. Lot of money.

9) Maryland 82, Iowa 72— Terrapins avenge an earlier loss, have won four games in a row, are 15-4, 7-3 in Big 14 games, 5-0 at home.

8) UCLA 72, Colorado 68— Buffs lose for only third time in 12 games, slip to 5-3 in Pac-12. UCLA will be a tough out in the Pac-12 tourney and the NIT.

7) Upsets:
— Louisiana (+12) 66, Tex-Arlington 65
— Weber State (+9.5) 75, Southern Utah 65
— High Point (+9) 62, Campbell 57
— Oregon State (+8.5) 68, Stanford 63
— UCLA (+5) 72, Colorado 68
— UAB (+4.5) 76, Texas-San Antonio 68
— Tennessee State (+4.5) 72, Jacksonville State 62

6) Arizona 75, Washington 72— Huskies lost for 4th time in row, and 8th time in last ten games; losing their point guard (grades) was a disaster- they fall apart at the end of close games.

— Washington led by 9 with 12:52 left after a dunk, but kid who dunked got a technical for yapping, giving the two points back.
— Huskies made 14-28 3-pointers, shot 35.5% inside arc.
— Washington was outscored 11-3 over final 4:45 of game.

5) Little Rock 96, Coastal Carolina 79— Trojans were 39-47 on foul line, a ridiculous amount of FT’s in a college game; Coastal was 22-33. Little Rock leads Sun Belt with a 10-2 mark.

4) Florida Atlantic 69, Western Kentucky 65— Hilltoppers fall into a tie for 2nd in C-USA; their bench played total of 21:00, a bad omen when the conference tourney rolls around.

3) William & Mary 59, Northeastern 58— Tribe takes over first place in CAA, which doesn’t mean that much, since conference tourney is at a neutral site- only the tournament winner will go to the NCAA’s- W&M has never been to the NCAA tournament.

2) Illinois 59, Minnesota 51— Illini wins its seventh game in a row; they’re 8-2 in Big 14.

1) Oregon State 68, Stanford 63— Cardinal has now lost three games in a row after starting season 15-2, and the Oregon Ducks come calling next.

Quote of the Day:
“That’s why I wanted out. I never felt like the organization was really trying to win a Super Bowl and really chasing the Super Bowl. Because that’s what today’s day and age is. The game today is you can’t just hope you draft well and not go after free agents and you just end up in the Super Bowl. You gotta go get it.”
Carson Palmer, talking about his time with the Bengals

Saturday’s quiz
Who was the 49ers’ quarterback last time they played in the Super Bowl?

Friday’s quiz

Thursday’s quiz
Central Michigan’s sports teams are known as the Chippewas.

************************************************** ***************************

Saturday’s Den: Looking at mid-major college hoop leagues……

13) WCC— Gonzaga is 8-0; they’ll be in the NCAA’s, but will anyone else from this league get in? The middle of the WCC has gotten better, and Saint Mary’s/BYU have been upset by teams in the middle, putting them squarely on the NCAA’s bubble. The conference tournament in Las Vegas could wind up being very interesting, especially a BYU-Saint Mary’s semi-final.

12) MAAC— Weird league; every team has 3+ losses, and 3+ wins. The last place team is only 3.5 games out of first place. In other words, the conference tournament in Atlantic City figures to be a circus. Iona has been in the NCAAs the last four years, but they’re playing with an interim coach this season and are struggling at 5-11, 3-6 in MAAC.

11) Horizon— Wright State is 9-1 and leads by two games; Northern Kentucky is the only other team in the league over .500 in league play. Five teams (half the league) are currently 5-5 in Horizon games.

10) Big Sky— Another wide-open league; Eastern Washington is 6-2, Montana is 7-3, despite being only 11-10 overall. Conference tournament is in Boise this year, should be interesting. The two Idaho teams in the league are in last and second-to-last place.

9) CAA— William & Mary has never been in the NCAAs, but they’re in first place in CAA right now, and their coach’s name is Fischer, so he must be smart, right? �� Hofstra, Charleston and Towson are only a game behind the Tribe; Conference tournament is in Washington DC this year and as usual, should be solid entertainment.

8) Former NBA player Darrell Walker (10-year vet) has Little Rock at 10-2 in Sun Belt and in first place, four years after Chris Beard won 30 games with the Trojans. Rob Lanier has Georgia State at 7-3 in his first year with the Panthers. Sun Belt tourney starts out at campus sites; the semis/finals are in New Orleans. Having home court edge figures to be a powerful thing.

7) Southern— Bottom three teams in league are combined 3-25 in conference play, which means the other seven teams are all over .500 in league games. Semi-finals of their tournament figure to be excellent. This is an underrated league whose games should be on TV more.

6) Missouri Valley— Evansville won in Rupp Arena in November, but they’re 0-9 in Valley games. Northern Iowa leads league at 7-2; three teams are 6-3, so Arch Madness figures to be fun. UNI is 18-3 overall, with a win at Colorado; they’re the clear-cut favorite here.

5) Mountain West— San Diego State is jogging to a league title; doubtful they get another team in NCAA’s, unless Aztecs get upset in conference tourney. Not sure who second-best team is; Utah State has been a disappointment, UNLV isn’t deep enough, Colorado State won six of its last seven games. Steve Alford has done better than expected in his first year at Reno.

4) Atlantic 14— Dayton is in NCAA’s; VCU/Rhode Island are both bubble teams that will be a problem if they make the field of 68. Dayton is going to be a popular pick to make the Final Four, maybe too popular. St Joe’s is 0-8; why the hell did they fire Phil Martelli?

3) American— Any team where Memphis is in 6th place has to be pretty good; Tigers are #353 experience team, the youngest team in country. Kelvin Sampson has Houston in first place, Tulsa is a surprising second, Cincinnati/Wichita State are bubble teams. SMU split its last six games, as they try to stay on the bubble.

2) Conference USA— This league is weird; their schedule after Feb 15 is determined by where teams are in standings, to try and boost league’s power ratings. North Texas is in first place as I type this, followed by Louisiana Tech/Western Kentucky. Half the teams in the league are either 4-5 or 5-4 in conference games.

1) Big West— No teams in top 100, so their tournament in Anaheim will be late night fun during Champ Week. Cal-Irvine/Hawai’i lead the league right now; Riverside/Northridge are much-improved, while Santa Barbara has been a disappointment. Who improves the most between now and the conference tournament? League appears to be fairly wide open.
