Armadillo: Tuesday's six-pack

-- Alabama's athletic department turned a $33M profit last year. Thats million with an M. Whoever replaces Nick Saban someday will have a very tough job.

-- Duke-North Carolina tomorrow night will be first time in 36 years Dick Vitale is not calling the game. Could be the beginning of the end, which would be sad for a guy who has done a lot for both ESPN and raising money to fight cancer.

-- Packers cut Brandon Bostich, the guy who botched the onside kick at the NFC title game in Seattle; they had already fired the special teams coach.

-- West Virginia 62, Kansas 61-- Mountaineers shot 38% but grabbed 22 offensive boards, winning a fiercely competitive game that they needed a little bit more.

-- Looks like Amar'e Stoudemire will become a Dallas Maverick soon.

-- When Derek Jeter gets his number retired in 2016, Bronx Bombers will have 20 retired numbers; #11 will be the lowest available number. Hard to believe they're not going to retire Fred Stanley's number.

**********

Armadillo: Tuesday's List of 13: Some thoughts on basketball......

13) There are eight TV timeouts in college basketball games; each side gets five more timeouts. Do we need 18 timeouts (plus halftime) in every game? Any game? If each time got only two timeouts per game, the action would flow better, kids would play better and scoring would go up.

12) College hoop has a 0:10 rule for getting the ball over halfcourt, the NBA's rule is :08. I'm saying :07 should be the new rule. make teams jog the ball up court, be more aggressive on offense. This would help more than shortening the shot clock.

11) NBA playoff series are too long; you don't need best-of-7 series to determine the better team. Best-of-3 would be better, with Finals best-of-5. So what if higher seeds lost now and then? Little drama makes the event more interesting-- NCAA tourney is great entertainment and it is single elimination.

10) DirecTV needs to add the Pac-12 Network, they just do. Don't need multiple soccer channels, or three C-Spans, or foreign language channels. I need to see games on TV late at night. I'm willing to pay for it, even though I already pay enough, but at the end of the day, I'd like to tailor my own channel setup. Its not asking much.

9) NBA needs to set up a 64-player 1-on-1 tournament for the summer, to benefit whatever charities the players want to support. It would be great fun; they had one for two years in the 70's, but star players backed out. This would be a great event.

8) When ESPN started in the early 80's, one of the first college basketball leagues that let them televise games was the Sun Belt Conference; now they're ignored by ESPN. would be nice if the Sun Belt got a weekly game, even if it was on Sunday afternoon or late Saturday night or even Monday night. They earned it a long time ago.

7) College basketball needs to change the way the games are officiated. I'm deferring to Jeff Van Gundy on this: refs have to allow continuation on drives to the basket, the way the NBA does. This automatically raises scoring, without the game itself changing very much. I'm not big on college hoop becoming more like the NBA, but this is one way to make the game more attractive without changing very much.

What I'm saying is this: Tulane led Cincinnati 19-13 at the half Saturday. We do not need 19-13 halftime scores in basketball.

6) When UConn won the national championship last April, they become the first team since 1987 to win the national title when it was an underdog in its second round game; they were also only the fourth national champ since '87 that was favored in their first round game by less than 10 points.

5) Six of the last eight national champs were #1 seeds; UConn won the other two, as a #7 seed last year, as a #3 seed in 2011.

4) Favorites are 11-4 vs spread in the last fifteen national title games.

3) You may never have seen a Summit League game, but in the last ten years, Summit League games have led the country in best 3-point shooting percentage five times. This league is underrated; good offensive teams-- North Dakota State, South Dakota State, Oral Roberts and Denver runs the Princeton offense.

2) I'd be in favor of the NBA scaling back to a 64-game schedule to reduce the back-to-backs and number of times the best players sit out anyway. More practice time and less games would lead to higher quality of games; problem is, would the players agree to scale their salaries back by the 21.6% that the schedule would be reduced by?

1) Conference realignment has made a mockery of geography; the following series are now conference rivalries, its really hard to believe........

-- UConn-Southern Methodist, which is in Dallas.
-- Rutgers-Nebraska-- Rutgers is the state university of New Jersey.
-- UTEP-Marshall-- Long road trip from El Paso to West Virginia.
-- West Virginia-Texas Tech-- 1,505 miles from Morgantown to Lubbock.

Top 25 roundup: WVU upsets Kansas

MORGANTOWN, W.Va. -- Point guard Juwan Staten's spinning layup with 4.3 seconds left lifted No. 23 West Virginia to a stunning 62-61 upset of No. 8 Kansas.

Staten finished with 20 points, making amends for missing a 17-foot jumper with 58 seconds left. After Staten's go-ahead hoop, a long inbounds pass to streaking guard Frank Ellis gave the Jayhawks a chance to answer, but the junior's 5-footer rolled off the rim.

West Virginia (20-6, 8-5 Big 12) knocked off Kansas at the WVU Coliseum for the second straight year, despite Jayhawks forward Perry Ellis scoring 15 of his 19 points in the second half.

Kansas, seeking its 11th consecutive Big 12 regular-season title, made five of seven 3-point shots in the second half and led by as many as six points. Mason finished with 18 points. Guard Jevon Carter added 13 for the Mountaineers.

Butler 58, Creighton 56

OMAHA, Neb. -- Just over 48 hours after an emotional home loss to No. 6 Villanova, the 19th-ranked Bulldogs rallied for a win. Butler trailed the Bluejays 54-48 with 3:13 remaining in front of a boisterous crowd of 17,971.

Bulldogs forward Roosevelt Jones sank the winning layup with three seconds to play. Bluejays guard Austin Chatman missed a 3-point attempt with one second left.

Butler (19-7, 9-4 Big East) got a game-high 19 points from guard Kellen Dunham, and Jones added 18 points. Butler forward Kameron Woods contributed 10 points and 10 rebounds. Chatman and guard Devin Brooks each scored 17 points for the Bluejays (12-15, 3-11).

Virginia 61, Pittsburgh 49

CHARLOTTESVILLE, Va. -- The second-ranked Cavaliers used a late surge to close out the Panthers. Pitt became the 11th opponent that Virginia held under 50 points this season.

Guard Malcolm Brogdon led the Cavaliers (24-1, 12-1 ACC) with 18 points and netted his 1,000th career point late in the game. He shot 6-for-6 from the free-throw line. Forward Anthony Gill chipped in with 12 points and six rebounds.

Artis led the Panthers (17-10, 6-7) with 20 points and eight rebounds. Pitt forward Sheldon Jeter added 10 points and six boards.

Villanova 80, Seton Hall 54

VILLANOVA, Pa. -- The sixth-ranked Wildcats sank 12 3-pointers and ran away with a rematch against the Pirates. Villanova, which earned its seventh win in a row Monday, lost 66-61 in overtime to the Seton Hall on Jan. 3.

Villanova guard Darrun Hilliard led the way with 18 points, as the senior shot 6-for-16 from the floor and 4-for-8 from 3-point range. Four other players scored in double figures for the Wildcats (24-2, 11-2 Big East).

Freshman guard Isaiah Whitehead had 15 points for the Pirates (15-11, 5-9 Big East). Junior guard Sterling Gibbs added 12 before getting ejected for elbowing Villanova guard Ryan Arcidiacono in the head on a loose ball with 4:38 remaining.
