    Armadillo: Thursday's six-pack

    -- Wm&Mary 76, NC-Wilmington 72-- Seahawks once led by 22.

    -- UCF 103, Tulane 100 3OT-- Three Green Wave starters fouled out.

    -- Davidson 71, UMass 63-- How is McKillop not a Big East/ACC coach?

    -- Boston College 64, Harvard 57 OT-- Eagles were a 3.5-point home dog.

    -- Baylor 74, Iowa State 73-- Bears blew 18-point lead, won with 0:07 left.

    -- Marquette 53, Creighton 52-- Bluejays are 0-5 in Big East, losing last two games by a point each.

    **********

    Armadillo: Thursday's List of 13: Random stuff on a winter day.......

    13) Duke is struggling on defense, but fact of matter is that NC State/Miami went a combined 20-36 from the arc- most teams can't do that in an empty gym. Duke is also always young now, much like Kentucky; hard to develop good chemistry that way.

    12) Las Vegas sportsbooks are concerned that if both NFL favorites win Sunday, they'll get buried by gamblers who pair the favorites in teaser bets. No one is giving the Packers a chance in hell of winning- they're 1-4 on artificial turf this season.

    11) Grand Salami bet is an over/under on the total number of goals scored in NHL each night; so far this season, over is 54-36-1 on the Grand Salami.

    10) NFL coaching news:
    Jack Del Rio goes to Oakland, 49ers hire Jim Tomsula from within. Not sure what means for Doug Marrone or Adam Gase, who were both expected to get hired by teams looking for the next great coach.

    Buffalo has to pay Marrone $4M no matter what, so no sympathy for him.

    9) Should be noted here that Del Rio was once a catcher on USC's baseball team, when one of the pitchers was a tall first baseman named Mark McGwire.

    8) Syracuse beat Wake Forest in OT Tuesday, but their bench played a total of 26:00; four of their starters played 42+ minutes. They're going to wear down over the next two months and they're not going to last long in March.

    7) Hawks 105, Celtics 91-- Atlanta has won ten games in a row, is 31-8.

    6) I talked yesterday about A's trading for SS Yunel Escobar; forget what I said, he's been traded to Washington for Tyler Clippard, which could signal that the Nats are about to trade Ian Desmond, maybe to the Mets.

    No matter what, we can always say the A's went unbeaten while they had Escobar.

    5) Golfer Chris Kirk shot 62 in Kapalua Monday, got drug tested Wednesday. I'm guessing he passed, since no news is generally good news.

    4) Why is the Venezuela Winter League not on TV? People freezing in the north and northeast would definitely be up for some January baseball.

    3) Marcus Mariota declared for the NFL, to the surprise to almost no one. The big question is how good Mariota will be in pro football. Radio host Sean Salisbury says college kids who do nothing but takes snaps out of the shotgun are less likely to be good pros. Salisbury played in the NFL, so he should know.

    2) You watch UNLV's hoop team and you wonder how they would be had Khem Birch stayed in school; he is averaging 13.1 ppg, 8.9 rpg and 2.23 blocks, playing in the D-League. Sure he is getting paid now, but how much? Maybe staying in school and getting drafted in the top half of the first round would've been more lucrative in the long run. Kids don't often think of the long run.

    1) First e-mail came about 45 minutes after Ohio State beat Oregon Monday night; collectibles, all sorts of Buckeye memorabilia for sale, including a helmet signed by Urban Meyer for a mere $130. College sports is indeed very big business.

      See spot. See spot bet: This week's best spot bet opportunities

      Lookahead spot

      The St. Mary’s Gaels have usually been second fiddle in the West Coast Conference, behind basketball powerhouse Gonzaga. This year is no different, with the Bulldogs pacing the WCC at 16-1 SU and the Gaels hot on their heels at 13-3. St. Mary’s has a defining stretch of schedule coming up, starting with a huge home game against BYU Saturday, then a trip to Washington to face the Zags next Thursday.

      But before St. Mary’s can make its mark in the conference big guns, it hosts the San Diego Toreros at McKeon Pavilion Thursday. San Diego is 8-8 SU (7-8 ATS) and only has two wins in its first six conference games. However, the Toreros are known for coming after the top WCC teams. In fact, San Diego has covered in nine of its last 12 trips to Morgana and is 6-2-1 ATS in its last nine versus St. Mary’s overall. With the Gaels fixed on those upcoming challenges, they open themselves up for a lookahead at home Thursday.

      Letdown spot

      The stars seem to be aligning for a LeBron vs. Kobe showdown when the Cleveland Cavaliers come to the Staples Center to face the Los Angeles Lakers Thursday. LeBron James returned to action Tuesday, as did Kobe Bryant. So, we could get at least one more chapter in this battle of future Hall of Famers. And don’t think that opportunity is lost on either player.

      But once the smoke clears in La-La Land Thursday night, the Lakers hop an air bus to Salt Lake City to face the not-so sexy Utah Jazz on the road Friday. It’s a drastic dip in pageantry for Los Angeles, which needs all the motivation it can get these days. Last season, the Lakers took on LeBron and the Heat on Christmas Day – of course, without Bryant – and then lost to Utah the following game. Does the same fate await L.A. in this letdown spot?

      Schedule spot

      A five-game Eastern road trip couldn’t come at a worse time for the Vancouver Canucks, who dropped back-to-back home games to Florida and Calgary before opening this stretch of away games with a horrific 5-1 beating in Nashville Tuesday night. The Canucks have just two wins since the New Year and are up against a tough schedule in the coming days.

      Vancouver goes all the way across the continent for a showdown in Philadelphia Thursday, then makes the overnight trip to Carolina to play its third road game in four days Friday. The Canucks complete this trek with stops in the Sun Shine State to tackle the Panthers Monday and the Tampa Bay Lightning Tuesday. Altogether, that’s a string of five games in eight days with plenty of air miles and hotel meals in between. Vancouver has won just once in its last six games away from home heading into Thursday.

              Top 25 roundup: North Carolina holds off North Carolina State

              RALEIGH, N.C. -- North Carolina failed to pull off a second straight victory over a ranked team as guard Marcus Paige scored 23 points to help 15th-ranked North Carolina beat the Wolfpack 81-79 victory Wednesday night at PNC Arena.

              North Carolina State (12-5, 3-2 ACC) had knocked off then-No. 2 Duke on the same court on Sunday, and the Wolfpack used a late rally to give themselves a chance against North Carolina (13-4, 3-1 ACC).

              Paige's 3-pointer with the shot clock winding down pushed North Carolina's lead to 71-60 with 4:22 left.

              N.C. State guard Trevor Lacey made two foul shots with 1.7 seconds left despite trying to miss the second one to make it a one-point game. Paige answered with two more free throws with one second left for a three-point margin.

              N.C. State's Abdul-Malik Abu was fouled on a long inbounds pass with 0.2 of a second left. Abu made the first free throw to reduce the deficit to two and intentionally missed the second. Wolfpack freshman Cody Martin's tip attempt in traffic didn't drop as the horn sounded.

              North Carolina beat the Wolfpack for the 23rd time in their last 25 meetings.

              Notre Dame 62, Georgia Tech 59

              ATLANTA -- No. 12 Notre Dame survived its second close call against Georgia Tech in the last 11 days.

              The Fighting Irish (16-2, 4-1 ACC) needed double overtime to beat Georgia Tech in the conference opener on Jan. 4 and never found a way to pull away from the pesky Yellow Jackets in the rematch.

              Notre Dame secured the victory with 19.6 seconds left when guard Jerian Grant hit a short jumper to give the Irish a 59-56 lead. Grant led the Fighting Irish with 12 points and five assists. Georgia Tech (9-7, 0-4) was led by center Demarco Cox with 17 points and seven rebounds.

              Notre Dame played without forward Zach Auguste, who will be out for an undetermined period to deal with an academic matter.

              Wichita State 67, Southern Illinois 55

              WICHITA, Kan. -- Wichita State won its 23rd straight regular-season Missouri Valley Conference game to set a modern-era record.

              The 13th-ranked Shockers defeated Southern Illinois to take the record from the Salukis, who won 22 in a row from 2003-04. Former MVC members Cincinnati (1957-59) and Oklahoma State (1947-49) also won 22 in a row.

              Senior forward Darius Carter scored a career-high 25 points for Wichita State (15-2, 5-0 MVC), which kept pace with Indiana State atop the conference standings. The Salukis (7-11, 0-5) lost their seventh straight game.

              Maryland 73, Rutgers 65

              COLLEGE PARK, Md. -- Forward Dez Wells had 17 points to lead four players in double figures as No. 14 Maryland won a Big Ten matchup against Rutgers, which was coming off an upset of Wisconsin.

              Forward Jake Layman added 12 points and 11 rebounds, guard/forward Jared Nickens had 11 points and freshman point guard Melo Trimble scored 11 for the Terps (16-2, 4-1 Big Ten).

              Rutgers (10-8, 2-3), which lost for the third time in five games, was paced by guard Myles Mack's 19 points.

                  Thursday, January 15



                  NBA game roundup: Warriors win 8th in a row

                  OAKLAND, Calif. -- The Golden State Warriors equaled their 25-year-old franchise record with a 15th consecutive home win Wednesday night, thumping the Miami Heat 104-89. The Warriors won their eighth game in a row overall.

                  Point guard Stephen Curry had a game-high 32 points, and the Warriors' reserves outscored their Heat counterparts 41-17 as Golden State ran its record to 12-0 against Eastern Conference competition this season.

                  Curry and backcourt mate Klay Thompson combined for four 3-pointers and 19 points in the first quarter, during which the Warriors built a 26-18 lead. The home team never looked back.

                  The Heat was playing the second half of a back-to-back without star guard Dwyane Wade, who sustained a hamstring injury Tuesday in a win over the Los Angeles Lakers. Wade is day-to-day.

                  Clippers 100, Trail Blazers 94

                  PORTLAND, Ore. -- Guard Chris Paul sank 10 consecutive free throws over the final 4:35, and Los Angeles topped Portland.

                  Guard Jamal Crawford came off the bench for 25 points, and Paul finished with 23 points, 10 assists and six rebounds. Paul made only six of 18 shots from the field but was 10-for-10 at the line. Center DeAndre Jordan collected 17 points and 18 rebounds for the Clippers, who won for the sixth time in eight games.

                  Forward LaMarcus Aldridge scored 37 points and grabbed 12 rebounds for the Trail Blazers, who lost for only the third time in 16 outings.

                  Spurs 98, Hornets 93

                  CHARLOTTE, N.C. -- Guard Manu Ginobili came off the bench to score 27 points, and San Antonio snapped Charlotte's five-game winning streak.

                  The Spurs led by as many as 16 in the first half but had to fight off a Charlotte rally that got as close as one in the final five minutes. Ginobili hit a jumper and a 3-pointer on back-to-back possessions to push a one-point lead to 91-85 with 3:22 left, and from there the Spurs went on to lead by as many as eight.

                  Ginobili finished 10 of 14 from the field with three 3-pointers. The Spurs also got 18 points from guard Danny Green, 14 points and 10 rebounds from forward Tim Duncan, and 10 points from guard Tony Parker. The Hornets, who got a game-high 28 points from guard Kemba Walker, were looking for their first six-game winning streak since the 2009-10 season.

                  Grizzlies 103, Nets 92

                  NEW YORK -- Forward Zach Randolph collected 20 points and 14 rebounds, helping Memphis dominate the paint en route to a victory over Brooklyn, which dropped its seventh consecutive game.

                  Playing in his third game following a nine-game absence due to a sore right knee, Randolph shot 8-for-11 and posted his 19th double-double, and center Marc Gasol added 18 points and eight rebounds. The Grizzlies held a commanding 66-40 edge on points in the paint.

                  Forward Mason Plumlee scored 15 points for Brooklyn, which is winless since Jan. 2.

                  Pelicans 105, Pistons 94

                  AUBURN HILLS, Mich. -- Anthony Davis poured in 27 points and grabbed 10 rebounds, and New Orleans opened up a 22-point halftime lead and cruised to a win over Detroit.

                  Davis, the NBA's fourth-leading scorer, collected his 22nd double-double, and the power forward also added four blocks for the Pelicans. Guard Tyreke Evans supplied 18 points, eight rebounds and nine assists, and forward Ryan Anderson tossed in 17 points.

                      Game of the Day: Thunder at Rockets
                      ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

                      Oklahoma City Thunder at Houston Rockets (-1.5, 207)

                      The rested Oklahoma City Thunder hope to pick up where they left off last week when they travel to Houston to face the Rockets on Thursday. Oklahoma City has enjoyed a rare six-day layoff since its 99-94 home win over Utah on Friday and has a chance to get to .500 for the first time all season. The Rockets aren't nearly as rested, coming off a 120-113 loss at Orlando on Wednesday to snap a four-game winning streak.

                      Oklahoma City treated its break in the schedule as a mini training camp, which should be especially good for newcomer Dion Waiters, who scored 15 points against Utah in his second game since being acquired from Cleveland. "We had a good week of practice," Thunder coach Scott Brooks told the team's website. "There were a lot of good things that we worked on, on both ends of the floor and a lot of special situations. That's what the group needed. It was good to get everybody on the court competing on both ends." The Rockets have won two straight in the series including an ugly 69-65 victory Nov. 16 in which the Thunder were without stars Kevin Durant and Russell Westbrook.

                      LINE HISTORY:
                      The line opened with the Rockets as 2.5-point home favorites, but they have been bet down to Houston -1.5. The total is up slightly from 206.5 to 207.

                      INJURY REPORT:
                      Thunder - F Mitch McGary (Out-Leg) Rockets - F Terrance Jones (Out-Leg)

                      ABOUT THE THUNDER (18-19, 16-19-2 ATS, 13-24 O/U):
                      Oklahoma City has dug out of a huge hole after starting the season 3-12 thanks to injuries to Durant (25 points, 6.2 rebounds) and Westbrook (26.2 points, 7.1 assists, 5.6 rebounds), climbing within three games of eighth-place Phoenix in the Western Conference. The Thunder have won three of five since Durant returned from a six-game absence, and the reigning MVP has averaged 29.6 points over that span. The addition of Waiters gives the Thunder another scoring punch off the bench.

                      ABOUT THE ROCKETS (27-12, 22-17 ATS, 16-23 O/U):
                      Houston had a rough night in Orlando, committing 21 turnovers and allowing a season-high 120 points, including 36 in the fourth quarter. Those shortcomings overshadowed a bittersweet night from James Harden (26.9 points, 6.7 assists, 5.6 rebounds), who had 26 points, 10 assists and five steals but also committed seven turnovers. Center Dwight Howard (17 points, 11.2 rebounds) had a nice night with 23 points and eight boards, but the Rockets got only 20 points from a short bench and could have tired legs on the second night of the back-to-back after using only eight players against the Magic.

                      TRENDS:

                      *Thunder are 0-3-1 ATS in their last 4 games vs. a team with a winning S.U. record.
                      *Rockets are 5-2 ATS in their last 7 games playing on 0 days rest.
                      *Over is 5-1 in Thunder last 6 road games vs. a team with a winning home record.
                      *Under is 16-5 in Rockets last 21 home games.

                      CONSENSUS:
                      Bettors are fairly split on this matchup with 53 percent of wagers backing the Thunder at +1.5.
