Armadillo: Saturday's six-pack

College basketball teams who get highest %age of their points on 3’s:
1) Wofford 8-4, 5-1 SoCon
2) Evansville 6-8, 4-4 MVC
4) Akron 7-3, 5-2
5) San Francisco 10-7, 4-3
7) Rice 10-4, 4-2 C-USA
9) St Joe’s 1-11, 0-6

Americans who have died from COVID-19: 412,780
PLEASE wear a mask (over your nose/mouth) when you go out.


**********

Armadillo: Saturday's Den: Clearing out a cluttered mind……..

13) RIP to the great Hank Aaron, who passed away at age 86; despite hitting 755 home runs and knocking in 2,297 runs (most ever) he is probably still the most underrated player ever.

— If you took away his 755 homers, Aaron still had 3,016 other hits.
— Aaron and Willie Mays were teammates in 22 All-Star games.
— Aaron hit 755 homers, despite never hitting more than 47 in one season.

12) Including postseason games, Hank Aaron ht 72 home runs off of Hall of Fame pitchers; no one else has more than 62 (Willie Stargell).

11) When Aaron hit 715th homer on April 8, 1974; a Braves’ reliever named Tom House caught the ball in the bullpen. House pitched in the majors for eight years, won 29 games, saved 33 more. 46 years later, he is still prominent in the world of sports.

House is considered by many to be the “father of modern throwing mechanics.” Not only does he help baseball players, NFL quarterbacks work with him on their throwing motions.

10) When his time came to be elected to the Hall of Fame, nine writers didn’t vote for Aaron, which is pretty amazing.

9) Hank Aaron won the NL MVP two years before I was born; when I was 12 years old, he led the National League in slugging %age and OPS. What a great player he was. RIP, sir.

8) Houston Texans raised some eyebrows when they interviewed 41-year old QB Josh McCown for their head coaching position; McCown was on the Eagles’/Texans’ practice squad this year; he appeared in three games for Philly in 2019.

Last time an NFL player became a head coach as soon as he retired was 1961, when Norm Van Brocklin became coach of the expansion Vikings, the year he led the Eagles to an NFL title.

7) If the Texans ever hired an active player as their head coach, Deshaun Watson’s head might blow off; he’s already mad as hell the team isn’t consulting him about who they hire.

5) Was watching South Carolina-Missouri basketball the other night; was concerned when I saw this guy with a shaved head coaching South Carolina, assuming that Frank Martin was still under the weather from COVID, which he’s had twice. I was hoping he would feel better soon.

Few minutes later, I realized, that is Frank Martin!!! He looked 100% different with a shaved head, another unusual aspect of this pandemic. Just glad that he feels well enough to coach.

4) TV play-by-play guy Rich Waltz was working a hoop game from UNLV the other night; some major league baseball team would do their fans a big favor if they hired Waltz as their play-by-play guy, he is very good. He worked for the Marlins for several years.

3) Disappointing TV news; NBC Sports Network is shutting down at the end of this year, with USA Network picking up lot of their NHL/NASCAR broadcasts. Starting next year, NBC’s new streaming service Peacock will also carry some of the NBC Sports programming.

2) Baseball stuff:
— Red Sox signed IF/OF Kiké Hernandez to a 2-year, $14M deal; he is a career .240 hitter in seven big league seasons, but he can play all over the field.
— Padres retain Jurickson Profar for three years, $21M
— Ryan Zimmerman re-signs with Washington for one year, $1M
— Miami Marlins signed reliever Anthony Bass for two years, unknown $$$.

1) Nuggets 130, Suns 126 OT:
— Suns were up by 14 at halftime.
— Jokic had 31 points, 10 rebounds, 8 assists.
— Nuggets’ subs were a combined +30.
— Suns’ star Booker didn’t play last couple minutes; he either hit his minutes limit (they play again tonight) or he got banged up in a scramble for a loose ball.

Quote of the Day
“Hank Aaron changed my life. The greatest moment I ever got to be a part of was catching 715. That moment bonded us forever as friends and teammates. My heart hurts today to learn of his passing. We watched Hank shrug off the weight of the world and just keep swinging.”
Dr Tom House, who caught Hank Aaron’s 715th home run in the bullpen

Saturday’s quiz
What team did Hank Aaron finish his major league career with?

Friday’s quiz
When the great coach Phil Jackson was an NBA player, he played most of his career for the Knicks.

Thursday’s quiz
Chris Paul played his college basketball at Wake Forest.

Quote of the Day
“Here’s what I do know. This team is going to take on the identity of this city and this city has been down and it found a way to get up. It’s found a way to overcome adversity, right? So this team is going to be built on, we’re going to kick you in the teeth, right? And when you punch us back, we’re going to smile at you. And when you knock us down, we’re going to get up and on the way up, we’re going to bite a kneecap off. All right?

And we’re going to stand up and it’s going to take two more shots to knock us down. And on the way up, we’re going to take your other kneecap and we’re going to get up and it’s going to take three shots to get us down. And when we do, we’re going to take another hunk out of you. Before long, we’re going to be the last one standing. That’s going to be the mentality.”
Detroit Lions coach Dan Campbell

Friday’s quiz
When the great coach Phil Jackson was an NBA player, what team did he play most of his career for?

Thursday’s quiz
Chris Paul played his college basketball at Wake Forest.

Wednesday’s quiz
Of the 50 states in our country, Delaware was the first one.

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

Friday’s Den: Random stuff with the weekend here…….
13) Stability is important in pro sports; its a lot easier to win when you don’t have to learn a new program every year.

Gary Kubiak retired Thursday as the Vikings’ offensive coordinator, which means that next year, Minnesota will have its sixth offensive coordinator in six years. Not exactly the ideal scenario.

12) College coaches move around more than NFL coaches; Alabama signed two new assistant coaches this week, two guys with pretty good resumes.

— Former Texans’ coach Bill O’Brien is the new offensive coordinator
— Former Jaguars’ coach Doug Marrone is the new offensive line coach.

Makes recruiting a lot easier when you have NFL head coaches on your staff.

11) Rams signed Raheem Morris to be their new defensive coordinator; he was a head coach in Tampa Bay a while back, and was the interim head coach in Atlanta this past fall.

Rams also signed a new special teams coach, Joe DeCamillis. Rams will be the 6th team he’s coached special teams for in his 33-year NFL career.

10) Knicks 119, Warriors 104:
— Draymond Green got tossed for his 2nd technical, which he got when the ref thought Green was yelling at him, but was actually yelling at a teammate.
— Much-improved Knicks won their last three games, are 8-8. Tom Thibodeau is a good coach.

9) Arizona 64, Arizona State 62:
— Arizona outscored ASU 7-0 over final 1:58 of the game
— Arizona made 11-20 3’s, still needed a tip-in at the buzzer for the win.
— Arizona State drops to 4-7, 1-4 in conference.

8) Indiana (+10) 81, Iowa 69:
— Hoosiers are only 4-4 in conference, but they snapped Iowa’s 5-game win streak.
— Indiana won by 12 and they were only 21-35 on the foul line.

7) UCLA 61, California 57:
— Bruins improved to 8-0 in Pac-12, but they struggled.
— UCLA outscored Cal 7-2 over 3:32 of the game.
— Cal made 10-22 3-pointers, only 11-31 shots inside arc.

6) Colorado State 84, Utah State 76:
— Loss snaps Utah State’s 11-game win streak.
— Mountain West standings:
9-0 Boise State
9-1 Utah State
8-2 Colorado State

5) Penn State 75, Rutgers 67:
— Rutgers hasn’t made the NCAA tournament since 1991; they were going to make it last year, but there was no tournament.
— Now they’ve lost five games in a row and six of seven; they scored 63.5 ppg in last four games.

4) BYU 95, Portland 67:
— BYU won seven of its last eight games, will be an interesting bubble team.

3) Jazz 129, Pelicans 118:
— Utah won/covered its last seven games.
— Every Jazz starter was at least +15 in this game.

2) It appears that retired NFL QB Philip Rivers will become the football coach at St. Michael Catholic HS in Alabama; Rivers has two sons (and 7 daughters!!!); he wants to coach his sons, much like he played for his father in high school.

1) Philadelphia Eagles hired Nick Sirianni as their new head coach; Carson Wentz played his best ball with the Eagles under Frank Reich and Sirianni has been Reich’s OC in Indianapolis the last three years. Fixing Wentz is Sirianni’s #1 job.

Thursday’s quiz
Where did Chris Paul play his college basketball?

Wednesday’s quiz
Of the 50 states in our country, Delaware was the first one.

Tuesday’s quiz
Ben Simmons played his one season of college basketball at LSU.

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

Thursday’s Den: Doing some thinking out loud……

13) Georgia 63, Kentucky 62:
— Wildcats went 1-13 on arc, lost third game in a row- they’re 4-9.
— Georgia scored on an OB under play in last 0:03 for the win.
— Kentucky led by 6 with 1:50 left.

12) They take college basketball very seriously in the state that somehow elects Rand Paul and Mitch McConnell all the time. To illustrate this, I’ll flash back to 1979:

In my college days, I was student manager for the Albany Great Danes; we were a D-3 team back then. We made the NCAA Tournament in ’79, but we get sent out of the region, to Centre College in Danville, Kentucky.

Four teams at each regional site; normally, the home team plays the nightcap, but Centre played the first game, and we played Savannah State in the nightcap. Centre had a high school-like gym, seated at most 1,000 people, but it was packed for Centre’s game.

Why did Centre play the first game? Kentucky had the 8:30 game in the SEC tournament that night, so when we came upstairs for our game, there were like 20-25 people left in the stands. Everyone went home to watch the Wildcats play on TV.

11) Other random items from that weekend, 42 years ago:
— Danville was in a dry county; the drinking age was 18 back then. There were some disappointed people in our traveling party.
— We lost to Savannah State in OT;l their best player, Harold Hubbard, would up playing for the Harlem Globetrotters.
— Watching TV in the hotel Saturday afternoon, we saw Larry Bird play for the first time, in the Missouri Valley tournament. This was just before ESPN started, so lot fewer games on TV.

10) NCAA Tournament schedule was announced today; it’ll be a little different, no idea if these changes will be permanent, or if they’re just trying something new this year:

Thursday, March 18— First Four games
March 19-20— First round
March 21-22— Second round, so there will be 8 games on a Monday
March 27-28— Sweet 16 games, Saturday and a Sunday
March 29-30— Elite 8 games on a Monday/Tuesday
April 3, 5— Final Four

9) Colts’ QB Philip Rivers retired Wednesday, after a 17-year career where he went 134-106 in regular season games, 5-7 in playoff games, with 66,435 passing yards, 421 TD passes. He is a lock for the Hall of Fame, though it may/may not be in his first year of eligibility.

8) Still unclear if Drew Brees will retire; his wife posted something on Instagram Wednesday, saying how this season alone, he played with a torn rotator cuff, a torn fascia in his foot, and half his ribs broken. Tough freakin’ guy.

7) Astros signed OF/DH Michael Brantley to a 2-year, $32M deal, but not before it was rumored that Toronto had signed him- FanGraphs even had Brantley listed in Toronto’s lineup when I was looking on my phone at lunch yesterday.

6) NFL playoffs trend; last seven years, #1-seeds are 10-2 SU, 8-4 ATS in conference finals. Both #1 seeds lost at home in two years ago, when the Rams/Patriots both won.

5) Odd fact that I learned this week; Once you’re President of the United States, you’re not allowed to drive anymore, ever, for security reasons. Secret Service guys drive you around.

4) People were actually betting on how long Joe Biden’s inaugural address would last; 20-25:00 was the winning wager, at +$200.

3) When teams get fined by a league, where does that money go? NHL’s Washington Capitols were fined $100,000 this week; who benefits from that? A charity of the Caps’ choice?

2) Cavaliers 147, Nets 135, 2OT:
— Hey, Kyrie Irving showed up and played- he scored 37 points (15-28 FG)
— James Harden only took 14 shots, Kevin Durant took 25.
— Collin Sexton torched the Nets for 42 points.
— Cavaliers played only eight guys in a 58:00 game.

1) Arkansas 75, Auburn 73:
— Tigers led by 19 at one point.
