Armadillo: Monday's six-pack

-- Fifteen lined D-I games Sunday; Oregon was the only road team that won.

-- Paul Casey, Ian Poulter are tied for first at the rain-delayed Honda Classic, which resumes early Monday morning.

-- Resume-damaging losses Sunday for Pitt, Stanford; they'll both have to win their conference tournament to make the NCAAs.

-- Phillies lost an exhibition game to a D-II college team, which doesn't matter but is not going to help season ticket sales any.

-- Memphis lost its best player, Austin Nichols, to an ankle injury, which cripples their chance to make a run in the C-USA tournament next week.

-- Watched the movie Hurricane Season on VH1 last night; excellent true story about a high school team that won the state championship after Hurricane Katrina.

**********

Armadillo: Monday's List of 13: Wrapping up a sports weekend.........

13) Everyone has bad days, even Lebron James, who went 3-11 from the foul line in an OT loss in Houston. Cavaliers are 37-24, right now the #4 seed in the east- that would pit them against #1 seed Atlanta in the second round.

12) NBA office once vetoed a Kevin Garnett/DeAndre Jordan trade, maybe the best move the Clippers never made. Jordan had 26 rebounds Sunday in Chicago.

11) Speaking of Garnett, he bought 1,000 tickets for tonight's game with the Clippers and gave them away-- thats a pretty expensive gift. .

10) Watched the Jerry Tarkanian memorial on the Internet yesterday; UNLV did a really nice job, with one segment video appearances by John Calipari, Dick Vitale, Tom Thibodeau, Bob Huggins and Mike Krzyzewski.

ESPN's Kenny Mayne was the emcee; he is a former backup QB for the Rebels.

9) Hard to believe the NFL hasn't had a team in LA or Anaheim since 1994, but it looks like they'll have at least one therre fairly soon. I've been a Ram fan since the mid-60's; they weren't supported that well in the Coliseum, which is why they moved to Anaheim. Part of the reason they moved out of the Big A is that then-owner Georgia Frontiere was from St Louis-- really wasn't a great move for the franchise.

8) Tired of people bashing current Rams owner Stan Kroenke as being difficult to deal with; its not that hard to meet him. I live in upstate NY and I've met the guy. Saw him at the NBA Summer League in Vegas few years ago, talked to him about the Rams for 10 minutes. Good guy, was very polite and answered some questions. He's a business guy; he'll do what is best for his wallet, which is how rich people get rich. Would any of us do any differently?

7) When James Hahn won the LA Open last week, he was 297th in World Golf Ranking; this week, Padraig Harrington was 297th and now he is contending at Doral, only four shots out of the lead, thats how competitve golf has become, guys barely in the top 300 are winning or contending to win.

6) If you shoot a basketball and it wedges between the backboard and the rim, that should not be ruled a held ball, the defense should get the ball. No way should the offense benefit from a shot like that- those are bad shots.

5) Want to feel old? Ron Howard (Richie Cummingham on Happy Days, Opie on the Andy Griffith Show) turned 61 Sunday.

4) Saturday night, UTEP blew a 15-point halftime lead and lost at lowly Southern Miss 63-60; thats what happens when your head coach is suspended for a game. Tim Floyd was ejected at Louisiana Tech in the Miners' previous game and got suspended for that, so in effect, he got thrown out of two games for the same act.

3) Did you know the voting age is Japan is 20? Me either.

2) Oregon 73, Stanford 70-- 11 ties, 17 lead changes as the Ducks stay hot; tough loss for Stanford, which now probably needs to win the Pac-12 tournament or else they'll be on ESPN losing an NIT home game in a couple weeks.

1) Let me get this straight; the 76ers have two young prospects they drafted who have never played for the team, then they traded for JaVale McGee and just cut him, possibly because he doesn't always try hard. My question is this: Is the 76er brass trying hard to win? How are they any different from McGee?

Game of the Day: Oklahoma at Iowa State
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Oklahoma Sooners at Iowa State Cyclones (-4.5)

With a one-game lead atop the standings, Kansas is on track for its 11th consecutive Big 12 Conference regular-season championship, but surging Oklahoma hopes to offer a roadblock when the teams close out the regular season Saturday in Norman. To have a chance, though, the 17th-ranked Sooners are likely going to have to find a way past No. 13 Iowa State on the road Monday night. “The Big 12 – if you are going to be in the race – it is going to be tough,” Oklahoma coach Lon Kruger told the media following Saturday’s 67-60 home win over TCU. “It has been tough all of the way through. Our guys are focused, and we have been talking since Jan. 1 that we just have to keep getting better – regardless if we win a game or lose, we have to improve.”

The Cyclones, meanwhile, have fallen two games off the Big 12 pace following losses to Baylor (79-70) and Kansas State (70-69) last week. Saturday’s setback in Manhattan was particularly painful as Iowa State let a 60-48 lead slip away in the final 10 minutes and handed the hosts the winning dunk on an errant in-bounds pass with 18 seconds remaining. “We've got to bounce back,” Cyclones coach Fred Hoiberg said at his post-game press conference. “That's two tough ones – two very tough ones in a row—and we'll find out a lot about ourselves in how we bounce back.”

TV: 9 p.m. ET, ESPN

LINE HISTORY: Oddsmakers opened the Cyclones as 4.5-point home favorites.

INJURY REPORT: Sooners - F Dante Buford (Out for season, academics). Cyclones - G Hallice Cooke (Out for season, hip).

POWER RANKINGS: Sooners (-15.85) + Cyclones (-15.65) + home court (-3.0) = Cyclones -2.8

ABOUT OKLAHOMA (20-8 SU, 11-5, 14-12 ATS, 10-15 O/U): The Sooners have won three straight and eight of their last nine, including a 94-83 home victory over Iowa State on Feb. 9. Guard Buddy Hield had 21 points and a career-high 13 rebounds Saturday against the Horned Frogs and is pacing the team with 17 points per game. Fellow starters Isaiah Cousins (12 points), TaShawn Thomas (11.2) and Ryan Spangler (10.4) are also scoring in double figures, with the latter averaging a team-best 7.6 rebounds for Oklahoma, which ranks second in the Big 12 in scoring margin (plus-10.2), field-goal percentage (44.6), free-throw accuracy (72.7 percent) and field-goal percentage defense (38.1).

ABOUT IOWA STATE (20-8 SU, 10-6, 13-12 ATS, 13-10 O/U): The Cyclones are coming off consecutive losses for the first time this season, including the nine-point setback against Baylor – their only home defeat in 15 games this season. Led by Georges Niang (14.8 points), Bryce Dejean-Jones (11.7) and Jameel McKay (11.1), Iowa State is also the only team nationally with six players averaging double digits, but it’s been a struggle of late for Dejean-Jones who is coming off a scoreless outing against Kansas State and finishing with 10 points or fewer in four of his last five games. As a team, the Cyclones are pacing the Big 12 in scoring (79.1 points), field-goal percentage (48.2) and assist-to-turnover ratio (1.48).

TRENDS:

* Over is 5-1 in the last six meetings in Iowa St..
* Sooners are 0-4 ATS in their last four games overall.
* Under is 7-3 in Sooners last 10 overall.
* Favorite is 5-2 ATS in the last seven meetings.

Top 25 roundup: UConn topples SMU

HARTFORD, Conn. -- Rodney Purvis endured some difficult moments during his first season at Connecticut. On Sunday at the XL Center, he gave the defending national champion Huskies renewed hope for returning to the NCAA Tournament.

Purvis, a sophomore guard, scored 14 of his career-high 28 points in the second half and senior guard Ryan Boatright added 23 points and five assists as UConn upset 21st-ranked SMU 81-73, snapping the Mustangs' five-game winning streak.

UConn freshman forward Daniel Hamilton also scored 14 points in the second half and finished with 16 points, seven rebounds and three assists as the Huskies (17-11, 10-6 American) beat the Mustangs for the first time in five tries in the series history.

The loss knocked SMU (23-6, 14-3) into second place in the American Athletic Conference behind Tulsa (21-7, 14-2). Forward Markus Kennedy led the Mustangs with 18 points, and center Yanick Moreira had 14.

Wisconsin 68, Michigan State 61

MADISON, Wis. -- Frank Kaminsky scored a season-high 31 points in his final career home game, and he helped the fifth-ranked Badgers claim a share of the Big Ten Conference title with a win over the Spartans. The senior forward also had eight rebounds, three blocked shots and three assists.

Wisconsin (26-3, 14-2 Big Ten) shot 52 percent and outrebounded Michigan State 35-24 to clinch its first Big Ten title since 2008 and fourth under coach Bo Ryan. Badgers forward Nigel Hayes scored 14 points, and guard Josh Gasser added nine.

Guard Bryn Forbes led Michigan State (19-10, 10-6) with 21 points. Spartans guard Travis Trice contributed 16 points, and guard Denzel Valentine finished with 10 points, six assists and five rebounds.

Providence 77, Marquette 66

PROVIDENCE, R.I. -- LaDontae Henton grabbed his 1,000th career rebound and became the seventh player in program history to have 1,000 points and 1,000 boards as the 25th-ranked Friars toppled the Golden Eagles.

The senior forward had a double-double with 25 points and 15 rebounds to lead Providence (20-9, 10-6 Big East), which bounced back from an ugly 28-point loss at No. 6 ranked Villanova on Tuesday and now has 20 or more wins in back-to-back campaigns.

Redshirt freshman guard Duane Wilson totaled a team-high 22 points and guard Matt Carlino contributed 21 points for Marquette (11-17, 3-13). The Golden Eagles lost their fifth game in a row and fell to 3-10 since the start of 2015.

Rockets end Cavs ATS dominanec vs. West

The Houston Rockets snapped the Cleveland Cavaliers streak of 10 consecutive covers versus Western Conference opponents, with their 105-103 overtime win Sunday.

The Rockets, 1-point home dogs to the Cavaliers, also halted the Cavaliers straight up win streak against West foes at 10 games.

Cleveland doesn't play another team from the West until they host the Phoenix Suns on March 7.

Heat in revenge spot with Dragic set to face Suns

The Miami Heat are in a revenge spot with newly acquired point guard Goran Dragic set to face his former team, the Phoenix Suns, for the first time Monday night since being traded.

It is a unique spot for the Suns, who had to play another former point guard, Isaiah Thomas, right after trading him to the Boston Celtics at the deadline. Thomas lead the Celtics to a 115-110 win and cover over the Suns as 8-point dogs on Feb. 23.

The Heat have opened as 3.5-point home favorites over the Suns.
