Armadillo: Sunday's six-pack

Current odds to win the World Series this year.........

Washington Nationals 13-2-- Added Max Scherzer this winter.

Los Angeles Dodgers 17-2-- Middle infield will be rollins/Kendrick this season.

Seattle Mariners/Boston Red Sox 10-1-- Boston's pitching is a big ?????

Chicago Cubs/St Louis Cardinals 12-1-- Lot of expectations in Wrigleyville.

Los Angeles Angels 14-1-- No Hamilton, now Colby Rasmus is hurt, too.

**********

Armadillo: Sunday's List of 13: Random thoughts for a Sunday morning

13) Our thoughts and prayers go out to Notre Dame coach Mike Brey, who lost his mom to a heart attack Saturday morning, but coached his team last night anyway.

12) UCLA 92, UAB 75-- Blazers made 12-26 from arc and still lost by 17; let me say this now. Just because UCLA is in the Sweet 16 doesn't mean they belonged in the tournament, just like a team losing doesn't mean they didn't belong.

11) Kentucky 64, Cincinnati 51-- Bearcats played their asses off but didn't come close to winning, but they did cover the spread. If a team upsets Kentucky, they'll be a team that makes a lot of 3's and can match the Wildcats on the backboards.

10) Arizona 73, Ohio State 58-- Wildcats are now 9-1 in last ten second round games (8-1-1 vs spread). D'Angelo Russell went 3-19 from floor in what was likely his last college game. Not sure if Arizona shoots well enough to beat Kentucky.

9) Xavier 75, Georgia State 67-- Weird game with only 35 missed shots; Xavier made 68% of its shots, Panthers 57%. Obviously, Xavier and UCLA caught huge breaks when the #3 seeds in their regions got beat. Thats how unlikely champions emerge.

8) Utah 75, Georgetown 64-- If John Thompson III's dad hadn't been an iconic coach at the school, JTIII would need another job-- their program is very ordinary now. Not sure if it matters, but Utes didn't look good the last two weeks, but they won twice this weekend, they're still alive and headed to the Sweet 16.

7) North Carolina 87, Arkansas 78-- This is a good time to point out how much fun it is to be in Las Vegas this weekend. Am hoping to make a spring training trip a year from now and tack it onto March Madness, see my A's practice in Arizona. Could be too much fun for one month, but its worth a try.

6) Notre Dame 67, Butler 64 OT-- This was a tremendous game, lot of drama; not sure why these teams don't play each other every year. CBS hits the jackpot making this the last game of the day. Then we find out hours later that Mike Brey coached this game knowing his mother had died earlier in the day. Courageous thing to do.

5) NC State 71, Villanova 68-- Since 1987, #1 seeds are 116-0 in the first round, and 101-15 in the second round, with Villanova being the 15th loss. Of the other 14 teams that lost this early in the tournament, three made the Final Four the next season, with Arizona in 2000 the last team to do so.

4) Out of those 15 second round losses by a number one seed, Kansas has three of them, Stanford two.

3) Only two of those 14 teams fell off the cliff and missed the NCAAs the next year; Cincinnati in 2001, Pittsburgh in 2012.

2) DePaul and Mississippi State need new basketball coaches, which is bad news for a couple mid-majors who are about to lose their coach. NCAA tournament is a lot of fun, but if you're a coach whose team doesn't make it, your job is in jeopardy.

1) Quote of the Day, part 2: "I'm very much in favor of high school kids going pro. I had six young men commit to me out of high school that didn't go to college, that went to the pros. I'm very much for that because they didn't want college. They wanted to go to the NBA. And if they go to the [NBA Development League], that's fine with them." Rick Pitino

American League West preview: Can Astros compete?

Oakland Athletics (88-74, -16.14 units, 77-76-9 O/U)

Odds to win division: +454
Season win total: 81.5

Why bet the Athletics: It's easy to forget that the A's were the best team in baseball for a considerable period last season. While they're coming off a down-year for their backers, they have a history of bouncing back and their re-worked middle of their order should pace the charge with Josh Reddick, Billy Butler and Brett Lawrie ready to inflict damage.

Why not bet the Athletics: While the middle of the A's order is solid, the latter half is ugly at best. Oakland's pitching staff certainly isn't as air-tight as it has been in previous years either, with at least two question marks in the starting rotation and closer Sean Doolittle expected to start the season on the D.L.

Season win total pick: Over

Seattle Mariners (87-75, +3.63 units, 66-88-8 O/U)

Odds to win division: +148
Season win total: 86.5

Why bet the Mariners: The Mariners didn't sit idle in the offseason, doing what they could to address their offensive concerns by adding Seth Smith and Nelson Cruz. Seattle's pitching was top flight a year ago and should be in the same class in 2015. While the Mariners won't sneak up on anyone after a breakout campaign, they should still offer value as most bettors still see them as a mediocre club.

Why not bet the Mariners: The bullpen has a few bright spots but closer Fernando Rodney isn't one of them. Even with the additions to the M's lineup, there are still plenty of weak spots from 1-through-9. They'll need to manufacture runs on most nights and aren't going to win many slugfests, which may not bode well in the A.L. West.

Season win total pick: Under

Los Angeles Angels (98-64, +21.41 units, 88-77-5 O/U)

Odds to win division: +176
Season win total: 88.5

Why bet the Angels: No team won more games than the Angels last season and most of the key pieces from that club are back in the fold in 2015. The emergence of Matt Shoemaker last season gave the Angels one of the best 1-2-3 punches in baseball as far as starting rotations go. You have to like the fact that despite being a 'public' team, Los Angeles still managed to bank over 21 units for its backers last year.

Why not bet the Angels: What about the bullpen? The Angels 'pen performed well last season but I'm not completely sold on this group. Huston Street is the closer but whether he can stay healthy remains to be seen. At the dish, say what you will about Josh Hamilton but there's no question his absence will be felt.

Season win total pick: Under

Houston Astros (70-92, +1.02 units, 71-87-4 O/U)

Odds to win division: +1600
Season win total: 75.5

Why bet the Astros: This is a franchise on the way up. The Astros managed to make money for their backers last season despite finishing 22 games under .500 and figure to improve considerably here in 2015. Adding Evan Gattis should give an already powerful lineup a boost, with Chris Carter and George Springer coming into their own as well.

Why not bet the Astros: Defense is an often overlooked aspect when it comes to baseball betting and in that department, the Astros could be awfully bad this season. Their pitching staff has some upside but there will also be some more growing pains endured. This young group isn't accustomed to winning but rather learning on the fly and that could keep them from getting over the hump.

Season win total pick: Over

Texas Rangers (67-95, -20.48 units, 70-81-11 O/U)

Odds to win division: +604
Season win total: 77.5

Why bet the Rangers: Things can't go any worse than they did last year, can they? Not likely. It's important to remember that Texas had posted four straight 90+ win seasons prior to 2014's stinker of a campaign. As long as the injury bug doesn't bite hard again, the Rangers have enough talent to at the very least stay afloat in the A.L. West.

Why not bet the Rangers: I'm not sure it's as easy as simply counting on a bounce-back performance from the Rangers. They made only minor adjustments to their roster in the offseason and their pitching staff in particular still leaves a lot to be desired, especially if Derek Holland isn't able to return to form. There are simply too many players trying to get healthy and being asked to shoulder much of the load.

Season win total pick: Under

**Udog** · 03-22-2015, 08:01 AM

National League Central preview: Cards favored in most balanced division

Chicago Cubs (2014: 73-89, -450 units, 82-72-7 O/U)

Division odds: 11/4
Season win total: 83

Why bet the Cubs: There is momentum surrounding Chicago after a solid offseason. Jon Lester heads up an improving rotation with Jake Arrieta who was a surprise last year. Hector Rondon had a 0.62 ERA in the second half of last season. Anthony Rizzo has found his stroke and he will be solid in the middle of this offensive lineup.

Why not bet the Cubs: The rest of the rotation is weak with Travis Wood, Jason Hammel and Kyle Hendricks most likely filling things out. The majority of the bullpen is still hard to trust and the offensive lineup is extremely young. Javier Baez struck out 225 times last year in the majors and minors combined.

Season win total pick: Under 83 wins

Cincinnati Reds (2014: 76-86, -1050 units, 71-85-6 O/U)

Division odds: 15/1
Season win total: 77.5

Why bet the Reds: Johnny Cueto is an ace and he is the second best pitcher in the league after Clayton Kershaw. Cueto is backed by veteran starters Homer Bailey and Mike Leake. Aroldis Chapman can be a dominant pitcher as well. Joey Votto and Billy Hamilton make up a solid offensive lineup that can hit.

Why not bet the Reds: The majority of the bullpen is shaky with limited depth. The bench is young and lacking in talent. Can Jay Bruce bounce back from some career lows last year?

Season win total pick: Over 77.5 wins

Milwaukee Brewers (2014: 82-80, -721 units, 75-83-5 O/U)

Division odds: 12/1
Season win total: 78.5

Why bet the Brewers: Ryan Braun returns for another season and he appears to be 100 percent ready. The former MVP has the potential to be a dominant hitter in the middle of this lineup. Kyle Lohse, Matt Garza and Yovani Gallardo provide a strong top three in the pitching rotation. Wily Peralta and Mike Fiers have also shown flashes of brilliance during their young careers.

Why not bet the Brewers: The bullpen is shaky as Jonathan Broxton is untrustworthy and the pitchers behind him are very young with few quality options available. Aramis Ramirez is getting older and his effectiveness going forward is questionable. Health has been an issue with Adam Lind as well.

Season win total pick: Under 78.5 wins

Pittsburgh Pirates (2014: 88-74, +597 units, 74-79-9 O/U)

Division odds: 5/2
Season win total: 84.5

Why bet the Pirates: AJ Burnett is back with his former team and he joins Francisco Liriano, Gerrit Cole and others in a solid pitching rotation. Andrew McCutchen continues to be one of the best hitters and overall players in the league. The bullpen is underrated as a unit and Mark Melancon had a fantastic 0.92 WHIP the past two seasons.

Why not bet the Pirates: The lineup is prone to struggle around McCutchen. Russell Martin was a big loss in the clubhouse and Francisco Cervelli is unlikely to replace him. There are new names in the bullpen that must compliment current veterans. Expectations are high in Pittsburgh this year, but the Pirates must still battle in the most balanced and competitive division in the league.

Season win total pick: Over 84.5 wins

St. Louis Cardinals (2014: 90-72, +207 units, 73-82-7 O/U)

Division odds: 6/5
Season win total: 87.5

Why bet the Cardinals: A veteran team that contains experienced players that have won in this division. The bench picked up Mark Reynolds who will be a productive role player. Jason Heyward plays good defense which improves the outfield. The pitching rotation is solid with strong starters and relievers.

Why not bet the Cardinals: Adam Wainwright's health has been an issue in the past and he missed some games last year. John Lackey is aging and he has pitched over 2,000 innings during his career. The Cardinals are favored to win this division, but all four teams behind them are capable of winning as well. This is the deepest and most balanced division in the league.

Season win total pick: Over 87.5 wins

Armadillo's Write-Up

Sunday, March 22

Sunday's NCAA games
When Tom Izzo won his national title in 2000, Tony Bennett's dad was also in Final Four, coaching Wisconsin; Michigan State won its last six second round games (4-2 vs spread). Over last 10+ years, 2-seeds are 16-21-1 vs spread in 2nd round games, all as a favorite. Virginia split its last four games; they beat Rutgers/Maryland this year, two new teams in conference. ACC teams are winning but they're not covering lot (3-8 vs spread as postseason favorite). State won five of last six games; they are 0-2 vs ACC teams this year, losing to Notre Dame, Duke.

San Diego State won five of last six games; Polee hit five 3's against his old team Friday, giving Aztecs a perimeter threat they badly need. State beat Pitt by 17 on neutral floor in its only game vs ACC team this year. Duke won its last four and 13 of last 14 second round games; they're 13-1 in their last 14 games overall, losing only to Notre Dame in ACC tourney. ACC favorites are 3-8 vs spread so far in this postseason. Over last 10+ years, double digit favorites in second round are 13-5 vs spread; in last 5+ years, #1 seeds are 13-9 vs spread in this round, 0-2 this year.

Kansas ducks Wichita State during season; teams haven't met since 1993; this is a very big deal for Shockers, who won nine of last 10 games- they were just 2-13 on arc Friday, Indiana was 11-22 but Wichita won. Teams don't often go 50% on arc and lose. Jayhawks are 10-2 in last 12 second round games; they got upset by Stanford in this spot LY. Over last 10+ years, 2-seeds are 16-21-1 vs spread in 2nd round games, all as a favorite. Kansas is 6-4 in its last ten games overall. Over last 5+ years, 2nd round favorites of 3 or less points are 5-7 vs spread.

Dayton is playing third game this week, but Flyers are also 80 miles from their campus; home crowd will help. Dayton won 10 of its last 13 games, they're #2 in country at getting to foul line. Oklahoma won 11 of last 14 games; they beat George Mason by 18 in only A-14 game. Sooners don't sub a lot (#335 in bench minutes) so if they get in foul trouble its a big problem. Oklahoma has the #10 efg% defense in country. Over last 4+ years, second round favorites of 5 or less points are 17-13 against the spread. Underdogs covered five of last seven 3-11 games in second round.

Ton of pressure here on Gonzaga team to beat capable Iowa squad, since Zags lost in this round the last five years, have never been to Final Four; Seattle site means mostly home edge for Gonzaga, though Northern Iowa fans might root for Iowa. Gonzaga is 26-1 since losing at Arizona in OT in December- they have #1 eFG% in country, helped by 40.5% on its 3's (#8 in country). Hawkeyes won seven of last eight games, losing to Penn State in Big 14 tourney; Friday was their first NCAA win in 14 years, though McCaffrey won couple tournament games while coaching Siena.

Over last 10+ years, double digit favorites in second round are 13-5 vs spread, even after Cincy's backdoor cover yesterday. Big 14 favorites are 2-2 vs spread this postseason; Pac-12 teams are 8-1 vs spread, 3-0 if not favored. Oregon is 8-1 in their last nine games, losing only to its nemesis Arizona (three losses by a combined 80 points this season) in Pac-12 tourney. Young has taken most shots of anyone in country. Over last 5+ years, #1 seeds are 13-9 vs spread in this round, 0-2 this year. Wisconsin won its last seven games; they beat Cal by 14 in only Pac-12 game.

West Virginia forces more turnovers than anyone in country and gets lot of offensive rebounds; Maryland beat Iowa St/Oklahoma St in its couple Big X games- they're one of ten tallest teams in country, hard to press a team that can throw over traps. Mountaineers are 2-3 in last five games, but losses were to Kansas, Baylor (2). Terps won eight of their last nine games. Big X teams are 2-5 vs spread this postseason; Big 14 teams are 1-3 vs spread if they're not favored. Over last 5+ years, second round favorites of 3 or less points are 5-7 against the spread.

Louisville is 4-2 since Jones got tossed off team, with three of four wins by 1 or 2 points; Cardinals lucked out Friday when Irvine fouled up their last possession with chance to tie/win game. Fact that Northern Iowa is a pick 'em with Louisville here tells you who better team really is, seeing as Cardinals are public team. Panthers lost in double OT in December to a healthy VCU team, team that plays little bit like Louisville. UNI gave up an average of 52.3 ppg in last four games; big chance, playing Wyoming and its slow tempo Friday, then pfacing Louisville here. 4-seeds won seven of last nine second round games against 5-seeds.

NIT games
Temple won its last six games with George Washington when teams were A-14 rivals. Colonials are 5-3 in its last eight games overall that followed a 1-6 skid that ruined its season. Owls won five of last six games, losing to SMU in AAC tourney; Temple split two games vs A-14 teams this year, with games decided by total of 3 points. AAC postseason favorites are 0-4 vs spread this month; A-14 teams are 4-1 vs spread, 3-0 as dogs.

Arizona State stays east after its win at UConn, faces Richmond squad that won seven of its last eight games, losing only to VCU in conference tourney after they had beaten Rams twice during season. ASU's win at UConn was just its third in last ten road games- they won three of last four games overall. Pac-12 teams are 8-1 vs spread this postseason, 3-0 if not favored. A-14 teams are 4-1 vs spread, 1-1 as favorites.

Stanford lost four of last six games, beating UC-Davis by 13 in opener of NIT; Cardinal make 38.5% of their 3's,. #30 in country- they're 4-3 in last seven home games. Rhode Island is 4-3 in last sdeven games; they did what they wanted on offense in easy 88-75 win over Iona in NIT first round. Pac-12 teams are 8-1 vs spread this postseason, 5-1 if a favorite. A-14 teams are 4-1 against the spread, 3-0 as underdogs.

Sunday's NCAAB tournament betting cheat sheet

EAST REGION

(7) Michigan State Spartans vs. (2) Virginia Cavaliers (-5)

Second-seeded Virginia hopes to avoid having a promising season cut short by Michigan State for the second year in a row when the Cavaliers face the No. 7 seed Spartans in the NCAA Tournament round of 32 on Sunday in Charlotte, N.C. The Spartans ousted the top-seeded Cavaliers in the regional semifinals a year ago. Michigan State is trying to reach the Sweet 16 for the fourth consecutive year and the seventh time in eight seasons.

Virginia survived a scare in its opening game for the second year in a row, holding off 15th-seeded Belmont 79-67 on Friday behind 22 points from Malcolm Brogdon. "It was good for us to be in a game like that," Virginia coach Tony Bennett told reporters. "Our young men have been in a lot of games like that where we had to just outlast and stay in there and make some plays and even overcome some of our mistakes." The Spartans coughed up most of a 12-point lead in the final two minutes Friday before hanging on for a 70-63 win over No. 10 seed Georgia.

TRENDS:

*Spartans are 6-1 ATS in their last 7 non-conference games.
*Cavaliers are 18-7-1 ATS in their last 26 games following a ATS loss.
*Over is 7-1 in Spartans last 8 overall.
*Under is 11-5-1 in Cavaliers last 17 games following a S.U. win.

(11) Dayton Flyers vs. (3) Oklahoma Sooners (-4.5)

The Big 12 did not have a great showing in the NCAA Tournament round of 64, but Oklahoma is ready to carry some weight for the Conference. The third-seeded Sooners will try to advance to the East regional semifinals when they take on No. 11 seed Dayton on Sunday in Columbus, Ohio. Oklahoma is into the round of 32 after failing to reach the weekend in the last two years, advancing after fellow No. 3 seeded Big 12 teams Baylor and Iowa State fell on Thursday.

To reach the Sweet Sixteen for the first time since 2009, the Sooners will have to figure out a way around a Flyers squad that enjoyed a considerable homecourt advantage in the round of 64 while knocking off Providence. Dayton was one of the final at-large teams selected by the committee but got the benefit of playing the first round at home and the second and third round 70 miles away in Columbus. “It's powerful,” Flyers coach Archie Miller told reporters of the atmosphere in Columbus. “I think our fans continue to be on front and center stage right now. It's a great time of the year for them to be on front and center stage. But knowing that we're playing in Columbus, I had a hunch what it was going to feel like.”

TRENDS:

*Flyers are 5-1 ATS in their last 6 NCAA Tournament games.
*Sooners are 1-8 ATS in their last 9 games overall.
*Under is 6-1 in Flyers last 7 NCAA Tournament games.
*Under is 10-1 in Sooners last 11 neutral site games.

(5) Northern Iowa Panthers vs. (4) Louisville Cardinals (+2.5)

Northern Iowa should be well-rested Sunday when the fifth-seeded Panthers face No. 4 seed Louisville in Seattle for a trip to the Sweet 16. Nine Northern Iowa players tallied at least 16 minutes in Friday’s 71-54 victory over Wyoming, while four of Louisville’s starters clocked at least 37 minutes in a 57-55 win over UC Irvine. Louisville has struggled offensively all season and faces a stiff test against the Panthers, who boast the nation’s fourth-best scoring defense at 54.3 points per game.

The Panthers advanced past Wyoming despite a poor shooting game by Missouri Valley Conference Player of the Year Seth Tuttle, who was 4-of-12 for 14 points along with nine rebounds. Sunday’s key battle features Tuttle against Louisville forward Montrezl Harrell, who averages 15.5 points along with a team-high 9.3 rebounds. Tuttle, a 6-8 senior forward, leads Northern Iowa in scoring (15.3), rebounds (6.9), assists (3.3) and blocks (0.6) while shooting 60.5 percent from the field.

TRENDS:

*Panthers are 7-2 ATS in their last 9 games vs. a team with a winning % above .600.
*Cardinals are 1-8-2 ATS in their last 11 non-conference games.
*Over is 5-1 in Panthers last 6 overall.
* Under is 5-2 in Cardinals last 7 games following a ATS loss.

WEST REGION

(8) Oregon Ducks vs. (1) Wisconsin Badgers (-12)

Wisconsin earned the No. 1 seed in the West region of the NCAA Tournament and lived up to that lofty billing in the round of 64. The Badgers will continue their march to a second straight Final Four when they face No. 8 seed Oregon in the round of 32 for the second straight year on Sunday in Omaha, Neb. Wisconsin got 19 points from Frank Kaminsky in the 84-77 victory over the Ducks last season, and the seven-footer is primed for another star turn this spring.

Oregon held a 12-point halftime lead in last year’s meeting but the Badgers outscored the Ducks 48-28 in the second half to grab the win. “That game last year was awesome, one of the best games I've ever been a part of,” Badgers forward Sam Dekker told reporters. “Happy to get out of that one with a victory. It was a hard-fought game. But they're going to come in with the same intensity, they're going to play hard, try to hit us in the mouth right away. And they have the talent to do it.” Ducks guard Joseph Young scored 29 points in that meeting and went for 27 in Friday’s round of 64 win over Oklahoma State.

TRENDS:

*Ducks are 8-1 ATS in their last 9 games overall.
*Badgers are 4-0 ATS in their last 4 vs. Pacific-12.
*Under is 4-0 in Ducks last 4 games vs. a team with a winning % above .600.
*Over is 5-2 in Badgers last 7 overall.

MIDWEST REGION

(7) Wichita State Shockers vs. (2) Kansas Jayhawks (-1.5)

Wichita State has been unsuccessful in its efforts to schedule Kansas in the regular season but the seventh-seeded Shockers will get a crack at the second-seeded Jayhawks on Sunday in Omaha, Neb., with a Sweet 16 berth on the line. The in-state programs haven’t met since Jan. 6, 1993 – Kansas won 103-54 – despite persistent attempts by Wichita State Gregg Marshall to land a game with Kansas. “I think there are certain games that are big,” Jayhawks coach Bill Self said at a press conference, “and I think this is one of those games that’s bigger.”

Players are always more interested in playing the games than the different agendas of college coaches so count Shockers guard Ron Baker as someone ready to see the Jayhawks on the court. “It’s a big thing for the state of Kansas – a lot of excitement, a lot of houses are going to be divided,” Baker said at a press conference. “It’s just going to be exciting. As a player, being from Kansas, I’m just really, really fortunate to be in this game. Obviously, these type of games don’t happen a whole lot.” Wichita State posted an 81-76 victory over Indiana on Friday, while Kansas rolled to a 75-56 win over New Mexico State.

TRENDS:

*Shockers are 1-6 ATS in their last 7 non-conference games.
*Jayhawks are 1-4 ATS in their last 5 vs. Missouri Valley.
*Over is 4-1 in Shockers last 5 vs. Big 12.
*Under is 4-0 in Jayhawks last 4 overall.

(5) West Virginia Mountaineers vs. (4) Maryland Terrapins (Pick)

A likely matchup with mighty Kentucky looms in the Sweet 16 for the winner of Sunday's NCAA Tournament third-round contest between No. 4 seed Maryland and fifth-seeded West Virginia. As long as the Wildcats get past Cincinnati on Sunday, they'll be heavy favorites in the regional semifinals against either the Terrapins or Mountaineers - both of whom are coming off close victories in their NCAA Tournament openers. The crowd at Columbus, Ohio should be entertained by two of the nation's top point guards.

Maryland freshman Melo Trimble had 14 points and 10 rebounds in his team's 65-62 win against No. 13 Valparaiso on Friday and averages team highs of 16.3 points and 3.1 assists. Juwan Staten (14.5 points, 4.7 assists) is the floor general for West Virginia and recorded 15 points and seven assists in Friday's 68-62 triumph against 12th-seeded Buffalo. The Mountaineers last reached the Sweet 16 en route to the Final Four in 2010, while the Terps have gone 1-1 in their last four trips to the Big Dance, last reaching the Sweet 16 in 2003.

TRENDS:

*Mountaineers are 0-4 ATS in their last 4 vs. Big Ten.
*Terrapins are 6-0 ATS in their last 6 games following a S.U. win.
*Over is 4-1 in Mountaineers last 5 overall.
*Over is 5-0 in Terrapins last 5 NCAA Tournament games.

SOUTH REGION:

(8) San Diego State Aztecs vs. (1) Duke Blue Devils (-9.5)

Prior to Friday’s second-round victory over Robert Morris, Quinn Cook was the only current Duke player that had played a key role in helping his team secure a NCAA Tournament win. With its recent quick exits from the Big Dance in the rearview mirror, the top-seeded Blue Devils eye a berth in the Sweet 16 on Sunday when they meet San Diego State in the third round of the South region in Charlotte, N.C. Cook was a starter on the 2013 Elite Eight team in that loss to eventual national champion Louisville, but also witnessed Duke’s opening-round losses to Lehigh (2012) and Mercer (2014).

The senior guard made sure his young teammates – four of the Blue Devils’ eight regulars are freshmen – did not suffer the same fate against the Colonials, hitting six 3-pointers in an 85-56 victory. The eighth-seeded Aztecs, who rank second in the country in scoring defense (53.5 points), also spent Friday changing perceptions, going 9-of-22 beyond the arc en route to posting their fourth-highest point total of the season in a 76-64 triumph over St. John’s. "(When) we score this many points, we've got a chance against anybody," Aztecs coach Steve Fisher said after his team improved to 9-1 this season when scoring at least 70 points.

TRENDS:

*Aztecs are 2-6 ATS in their last 8 games following a ATS win.
*Blue Devils are 5-1 ATS in their last 6 games vs. a team with a winning S.U. record.
*Over is 4-1 in Aztecs last 5 NCAA Tournament games.
*Under is 5-1 in Blue Devils last 6 overall.

(7) Iowa Hawkeyes vs. (2) Gonzaga Bulldogs (-6.5)

Gonzaga has lost only twice all season - by a total of six points - but now the second-seeded Bulldogs must contend with arguably the most impressive team from the NCAA Tournament's round of 64. Seventh-seeded Iowa won its tourney opener by 31 points, which certainly caught the Bulldogs' attention heading into their meeting in Seattle on Sunday with a berth in the Sweet 16 on the line. Gonzaga opened with a hard-fought 86-76 victory against No. 15 seed North Dakota State, while Iowa throttled No. 10 seed Davidson, 83-52.

Sunday's matchup will feature two of the top forwards in the country - Gonzaga's Kyle Wiltjer and Iowa's Aaron White. Wiltjer is the Bulldogs' leading scorer at 16.9 points and shot 8-of-12 en route to 23 points on Friday. White (16.3 points) was even better in the round of 64, shooting 11-of-14 as part of a 26-point performance - his sixth straight game with at least 20 points.

TRENDS:

*Hawkeyes are 6-1-1 ATS in their last 8 games overall.
*Bulldogs are 1-4 ATS in their last 5 vs. Big Ten.
*Under is 4-0 in Hawkeyes last 4 overall.
*Over is 5-0 in Bulldogs last 5 neutral site games.

Sunday, March 22

Sooners continue to be awful at covering spread

The Oklahoma Sooners may be one of the top teams in the nation on the court, but you certainly wouldn't be able to tell from the window. Oklahoma has covered just once in their past nine contests, leaving backers frustrated.

In those nine contests, the Sooners are 6-3 straight up and have an average scoring margin of +3.4. Despite only barely beating opponents durin that span, Oklahoma's average spread is -6.

Oklahoma is currently -4.5 for their Round of 32 clash with Dayton.

Under booming as Kansas defense steps up

Since the Big 12 conference tournament started, the Kansas Jayhawks defense has upped their game, causing them to cash under tickets. In the four games since the end of the regular season, Kansas has gone under in each one.

In those four games, Kansas has allowed a mere 59.3 points per game and only once has their opponent topped the 60 point mark. Defensively, the Jayhawks are allowing 5.1 less points per game since the postseason started.

Kansas and No.7 Wichita State meet Sunday with a current total of 133.5.

Michigan State going over as defense falters

Over their past eight contests, Michigan State's defense has struggled leading to a rash of overs. In their past eight, the Spartans have topped the total seven times.

Michigan State has been allowing 71.3 points over their past eight, which is significantly higher than their 63.4 average on the season.

The Spartans clash with Virginia Sunday with a current total of 116.5.

NCAA Tournament roundup: NC State knocks out Villanova

PITTSBURGH -- As good as Villanova has been all year, it only took one off day to stop the Wildcats in their tracks.

Just two days after Villanova's best shooting performance of the season, the Wildcats had one of their worst. North Carolina State took advantage, becoming the first team to knock off a top seed in this year's NCAA Tournament with a 71-68 victory on Saturday.

The eight-seeded Wolfpack (22-13) advance to the Sweet 16 for the second time in four years under coach Mark Gottfried after losing in the second round the last two seasons. Meanwhile, Villanova was left looking for its first trip to the second weekend of the NCAA Tournament since 2009.

The Wildcats (33-3) had a 16-game winning streak heading into the tournament and were picked by many, including President Obama, to make it to the championship. But a young N.C. State frontcourt that worried Villanova coach Jay Wright leading up to the game proved to be his worst nightmare. Freshman forward Abdul-Malik Abu (13 points, 12 rebounds) and sophomore Lennard Freeman (11 points, 12 rebounds) each finished with double-doubles.

Junior guard Trevor Lacey paced the Wolfpack with 17 points.

After trailing by as many as a dozen points in the second half, Villanova cut it to two with 41.1 seconds remaining after senior guard Darrun Hilliard hit two deep 3-pointers in a 40-second span. The Wolfpack then turned it over, but junior guard Dylan Ennis was unable to connect on an open 3-pointer with 15 seconds left and four foul shots by N.C. State sealed the win.

Kentucky 64, Cincinnati 51

LOUISVILLE, Ky. -- Undefeated and No. 1-ranked Kentucky's chase for perfection continues.

The Wildcats (36-0) got 13 points from guard Aaron Harrison and limited No. 8 seed Cincinnati to 32 percent shooting from the field in a Midwest Regional third-round victory in the KFC Yum! Center.

Forward Trey Lyles added 11 points and 11 rebounds for the Wildcats, who will play West Virginia or Maryland in the Sweet Sixteen in Cleveland.

Guard Troy Caupain led the Bearcats (23-11) with 13 points.

Kentucky shot only 37 percent from the field and was outrebounded 45-38 but took control of the game five minutes into the second half.

Notre Dame 67, Butler 64 (OT)

PITTSBURGH -- Pat Connaghan saved Notre Dame, and he did it more than once. The senior wing came up with a big defensive play late in the second half and hit a clutch 3-pointer in overtime to help the Fighting Irish overcome Butler to advance to the NCAA Tournament's Sweet 16 for the first time since 2003.

Butler junior Kellen Dunham, who had been quiet all night, hit a clutch 3-pointer from the top of the key with 2:58 remaining in regulation to tie the score at 55, but neither team scored again until overtime. Connaghan then came up with one of several big plays, blocking a game-winning shot attempt by Dunham in the final two seconds of regulation.

In the extra session, Connaghan knocked down a 3-pointer from the right corner off a feed from freshman Demetrius Jackson, giving Notre Dame a 62-59 lead with 3:08 to play. Guard Steve Vasturia helped put it away, hitting a 3-pointer with 1:22 left to give the Fighting Irish a four-point advantage. Vasturia, who only had three points in the opening-round win over Northeastern on Thursday, finished with a career-high 20 points.

Jerian Grant, a senior guard and Notre Dame's leading scorer, sealed the win on a layup with 18 seconds left. He finished with 16 points and Jackson added 13.

Notre Dame led by as many as 10 points in the first half, but thanks to the strong play of Butler's Roosevelt Jones, the lead was cut to 31-29 at the break. Jones had 15 first-half points, including 11 of the last 13 for Butler, and finished with a team-high 23 points.

North Carolina 87, Arkansas 78

JACKSONVILLE, Fla. -- North Carolina added one more Sweet 16 to its long postseason resume as the No. 4-seeded Tar Heels, who reached the round of 16 for the 26th time since 1975, got there by eliminating No. 5 seed Arkansas.

Carolina guard Marcus Paige led the Tar Heels with 22 points, five rebounds and five steals. Freshman forward Justin Jackson -- the hero in Thursday's second-round victory over Harvard when he scored the final four points -- added 16 points and two steals.

Arkansas, which was seeking its 11th trip to the Sweet 16 but first since 1996, got a monster game from guard Michael Qualls, who led all scorers with 27 points and 10 rebounds. Forward Bobby Portis, the SEC Player of the Year, also posted a double-double with 18 points and 13 rebounds and contributed five steals and four assists.

North Carolina coach Roy Williams earned his 750th career win, moving him into 15th in NCAA history. Williams also tied legendary former Tar Heels coach Dean Smith for the most NCAA Tournament wins at North Carolina with 32.

Xavier 75, Georgia State 67

JACKSONVILLE, Fla. -- Georgia State's Cinderella story ended in the third round with Xavier winning behind a season-high 21 points and six rebounds from forward Jalen Reynolds.

The No. 6 seed Musketeers advanced to their third Sweet 16 in five years. Xavier (23-13) heads to in Los Angeles to face No. 2 seed Arizona.

Reynolds was 8 of 9 from the field and 5 of 5 from the free throw line in his best game since he scored 19 points in a win over Providence in early February.

There were no heroics this time from Georgia State guard R.J. Hunter, who sank a 30-footer with 2.7 seconds left Thursday as the No. 14 seed Panthers stunned No. 3 seed Baylor. He paced Georgia State (25-10) for the second straight game with 20 points, adding five assists and four rebounds in likely the final college game. The junior and two-time Sun Belt Conference Player of the Year is expected to declare for the NBA Draft.

His father, Georgia State coach Ron Hunter, welled up with tears and embraced R.J. for nearly 30 seconds when the Panthers' leading scorer left the game in the final minute

UCLA 92, UAB 75

LOUISVILLE, Ky. -- Center Tony Parker scored a career-best 28 points and added 12 rebounds, leading No. 11 seed UCLA to a South Regional third-round victory over No. 14 Alabama-Birmingham in the KFC Yum! Center.

Guard Bryce Alford added 22 points and five assists, sending the Bruins (22-13) to the Sweet Sixteen.

It was the second time this season UCLA defeated UAB. The Bruins also registered an 88-76 victory in the Battle 4 Atlantis seventh-place game on Nov. 28 in the Bahamas.

Guard Robert Brown led UAB (20-16) with a game-best 25 points.

Arizona 73, Ohio State 58

PORTLAND, Ore. -- Guard Gabe York came off the bench to knock down five 3-pointers and lift fifth-ranked Arizona over Ohio State in an NCAA third-round game at the Moda Center.

York scored a season-high 19 points and guard T.J. McConnell had 19 points, six assists, six rebounds and five steals for the No. 3 seed Wildcats (33-3), who ran their winning streak to 13 games.

Forward Rondae Hollis-Jefferson contributed 11 points, 10 rebounds and five assists for Arizona, which advances to the West Regional at Los Angeles next Thursday.

Forward Sam Thompson scored 18 points for Ohio State (24-11). Guard D'Angelo Russell collected nine points, six rebounds and six assists for the Buckeyes but made just 3 of 19 shots from the field, including 1 of 7 from 3-point distance.

Utah 75, Georgetown 64

PORTLAND, Ore. -- Utah outscored Georgetown 18-9 in the final five minutes to of a NCAA South Regional third-round victory at the Moda Center.

Five players scored in double figures, including guard Brandon Taylor with 14 points and guard Delon Wright and center Jakob Poeltl with 12 apiece, for the fifth-seeded Utes (26-8), who advance to the South Regionals next Thursday.

Guard Jabril Trawick had 18 points to lead the fourth-seeded Hoyas (22-11).

NBA roundup: Sharpshooting Grizzlies beat Blazers

MEMPHIS, Tenn. -- The Memphis Grizzlies swept the season series from the Portland Trail Blazers with a 97-86 victory Saturday night at FedExForum as forward Jeff Green scored 23 points and point guard Mike Conley scored 21 points with nine assists.

Not known for their 3-point shooting, the Grizzlies shot 61.1 percent from deep (11-for-18). Green was 5-for-7 and Conley went 3-for-5. The 11 threes tied the Grizzlies' season high.

Overall, however, Memphis was just 37-for-89 for 41.6 percent. Center Marc Gasol finished with 13 points, nine rebounds and five assists but was just 4-for-15 from the field. Power forward Zach Randolph scored 17 points but made just 8 of 20 shots.

Naturally, he made the only 3-pointer he attempted.

The Trail Blazers (44-24) dropped their fourth straight game, this defeat following losses at Washington, Miami and Orlando.

Pistons 107, Bulls 91

AUBURN HILLS, Mich. -- Reggie Jackson had 22 points and 11 assists and Detroit rallied from a 19-point, third-quarter deficit to topple Chicago at The Palace.

The point guard scored 17 third-quarter points while sparking the turnaround as the Pistons won for just the second time in their last 13 games.

Forward Pau Gasol collected his NBA-high 46th double-double, with 27 points and 10 rebounds, to lead the Bulls (42-29). Point guard Aaron Brooks scored 19 points and center Joakim Noah contributed six points, 13 rebounds and seven assists.

Suns 117, Rockets 102

HOUSTON -- Eric Bledsoe scored a game-high 34 points and Phoenix avoided a season series sweep with a win over Houston at the Toyota Center.

Bledsoe added eight rebounds and three steals as the Suns kept pace in the race for the final berth in the Western Conference playoffs while also ending the Rockets' three-game home win streak.

Houston trailed by as many as 15 points before rallying early in the fourth quarter, cutting the deficit to 105-100 on a 3-pointer by forward Trevor Ariza with 5:33 remaining. But Phoenix responded with 12 consecutive points to snuff that rally and snap a five-game skid against the Rockets.

Nets 123, Pacers 111

INDIANAPOLIS – Brooklyn is still on the outside looking in, but the view is getting better.

Center Brook Lopez had his second big game in as many nights, scoring 26 points on 11 of 14 shooting, as the surging Nets beat the reeling Pacers at Bankers Life Fieldhouse.

Brooklyn won for the fourth time in five games to pull one game behind eighth-place Boston in the Eastern Conference playoff chase. Forward Bogdan Bogdanovic scored 21, making all eight of his shots, and guard Deron Williams 17 with six assists for the Nets, who shot 61 percent from the field.

Warriors 106, Jazz 91

OAKLAND, Calif. -- Golden State carved up one of the NBA's hottest defenses, shooting 52.5 percent in the final three quarters.

Point guard Stephen Curry poured in 24 points and backup guard Leandro Barbosa connected on 8 of 10 shots from the field during a 19-point night as the Warriors (56-13) won a third consecutive game without injured All-Star Klay Thompson.

After missing 12 of their first 19 shots from the floor, the Warriors made 31 of their final 59 en route to their 12th consecutive home win overall and 18th in a row against Western Conference competition.

Forward Derrick Favors had a 21-point, 11-rebound double-double for Utah (31-38).
