Armadillo: Sunday's six-pack

-- Former NBA sharpshooter Mark Price has been an NBA assistant since 2007, is the new basketball coach at Charlotte, which has jumped between conferences due to starting up a new football program. Price will be interesting to follow.

-- East Tennessee State signed on Steve Forbes as its new coach; he was a bigtime JC coach who was an assistant at Wichita State the last two years.

-- On Opening Day, Pedro Alvarez will become the Pirates' 54th first baseman in their 129-year history.

-- Hawks/Warriors have already clinched top seeds for the NBA playoffs.

-- Brian Wardle jumps from Green Bay to Bradley, which becomes a much better job if Gregg Marshall leaves Wichita State.

-- Ill-Chicago signed on Steve McClain, who was 157-115 at Wyoming; not sure why they fired him, but he's been at Indiana under Tom Crean the last few years.

**********

Armadillo: Sunday's List of 13: Nobody asked me, but.......

13) Kentucky 68, Notre Dame 66-- Tremendous game; young Wildcats had poise down stretch, when they looked to be in deep trouble. Jerian Grant never came out of any of the Irish's four tournament games- he was only 4-14 in this game.

12) Wisconsin 85, Arizona 78-- Badgers were 10-12 on arc in second half, as Sean Miller lost in regional final for fourth time in last eight years. 2-seeds are now 11-4 in last fifteen regional final meetings with a 1-seed.

11) Last 12+ years, underdogs are now 33-17 vs spread in regional finals.

10) Apparently Texas wanted Rick Barnes to fire all his assistant coaches, and he wouldn't, so now Barnes is gone after 17 years in Austin. Some of these colleges haven't a clue; they're going to have a hard time finding someone who will be as successful as Barnes was.

9) The Barnes move screws Alabama, since they're an even worse basketball job than the Texas job-- there are a lot of great high school/JC players in Texas.

8) Just for the record, Barnes' wife went to Tennessee; he'll be signed up by the Vols before very long. He'll also be their fourth coach in the last six seasons.

7) It'll be an interesting week to be the agent for Gregg Marshall and Shaka Smart, but if those guys stay where they are, thats when the real fun will start.

6) Kentucky fans better enjoy this because someday soon, John Calipari is going to go back and try the NBA again, then the Wildcats are up a creek , because he created a monster whose fanbase will never be satisfied with anything other than a national title. If you don't think replacing Calipari is difficult, ask Josh Pastner in Memphis.

5) Arizona gave Yosmany Tomas a lot of cash, but now it turns out he isn't a good third baseman and may be more of a DH-type, which would be OK if Arizona was in the American League, but they aren't. He may have to start the year in AAA.

4) Shouldn't everyone who coaches in professional baseball learn Spanish?

3) Watching replay of a Royals-Diamondbacks exhibition game and they're doing a dugout interview with Mark Grace, who is an assistant hitting coach after he had been the analyst on Arizona's TV broadcasts. Grace was a classic on TV and is missed, but it sounds like he is happy and healthy and thats the main thing.

2) It snowed here in beautfiul upstate New York Saturday, nine days before Opening Day of baseball season, two days after I came back from Las Vegas. No bueno.

1) Why in God's name is Russell Wilson playing baseball? His agent must have a coronary every time the phone rings. He could lose hundreds of millions if he has some kind of an arm injury.

Armadillo's Write-Up

Sunday, March 30

Izzo is 20-4 in turnaround games in NCAA tournament; his staff is great at getting kids ready to play on short rest. Michigan State won seven of last eight games overall; Spartans are 1-2 vs ACC teams this year, with upset of Virginia last weekend, losing to Notre Dame in OT by a point, Duke by 10. Louisville threw its PG off team in mid-February but has now progressed to this point; Cardinals are trying for third Final Four in last four years. Big 14 teams are 7-8 vs spread this postseason, 3-4 as a favorite. ACC teams are 10-10 vs spread, 5-1 as underdogs. Izzo is 12-9 in tournament games when lower-seed.

Gonzaga is trying for its first Final Four; Bulldogs have experience edge here (#39, Duke is #330 in experience) but Blue Devil program has better history on its side. Duke won 15 of last 16 games; they're 15-0 outside ACC, allowing 54 ppg in first three tourney wins. Gonzaga's only losses this season were by 3 points each, at Arizona in OT, at home to BYU. ACC teams are 10-10 vs spread this postseason, 5-9 as favorite. WCC teams are 2-5 vs spread, all as favorites. Look at regional finals between 1-2 seeds: since 2003, 2-seeds are 11-4 SU against 1-seeds in regional finals- since '09, 1-seeds are 5-9 vs spread in regional finals.

Renewed defensive focus has Duke going under

As the regular season ended nobody was going to call Duke the best defensive team around, but they have stepped up their game starting the ACC Conference Tournament. This renewed defensive game has caused the Blue Devils to go under the total in their past five contests.

Duke has been holding opponents to an average of 57.8 points in their past five, compared to allowing 64.8 points per game in the regular season. The defensive focus has also slowed Duke's offense as they have averaged nearly seven points less per game in those past four as well.

Sunday's NCAAB betting cheat sheet: Elite Eight

Michigan State Spartans vs. Louisville Cardinals (+2.5, 128.5)

While other matchups in the Elite Eight feature some of the nation's best players, such as Duke's Jahlil Okafor, Wisconsin's Frank Kaminsky and Kentucky's litany of future NBA draft picks, the East Regional final features a different kind of star-studded affair. Michigan State's Tom Izzo and Louisville's Rick Pitino are two of the best coaches in the country and after working their March magic yet again, their teams will square off in Syracuse, N.Y. on Sunday for a berth in the Final Four. The fourth-seeded Cardinals and seventh-seeded Spartans are the two lowest-seeded teams remaining in the NCAA Tournament.

After his team knocked off the region's No. 2 and 3 seeds in the last two rounds, Izzo is one win away from his seventh trip to the Final Four - all since 1999. "He is the best at what he does," Spartans guard Lourawls Nairn Jr. told reporters. "We're real confident in whatever he tells us to do. As long as we focus on what he tells us to do, we'll be fine." Regarding Pitino, who has been to seven Final Fours - one with Providence, three with Kentucky and three with Louisville, Cardinals forward Montrezl Harrell told reporters: "Everybody has bought into the mentality that Coach wanted and everybody wants the same goal."

TV: 2:20 p.m. ET, CBS

LINE HISTORY: Most online books opened Louisville +2, but quickly moved the line to +2.5. The total opened at 128.5 and has yet to shift.

INJURY REPORT: N/A

ABOUT MICHIGAN STATE (26-11 SU, 21-16 ATS, 19-15-2 O/U): Travis Trice has increased his scoring in all three games of the tournament, going from 15 points in the opener to 23 in an upset of second-seeded Virginia and 24 against Oklahoma, as the senior guard is shooting 10-of-22 from 3-point range in the Big Dance. The Spartans have reached the Elite Eight despite Denzel Valentine shooting 7-of-23 over the last two games and a disappointing team-wide 58.8 free-throw percentage in the tournament. "One more victory would be one of the more sweeter moments of my career," acknowledged Izzo, who is 12-9 in the NCAA Tournament when his team has the lower seed.

ABOUT LOUISVILLE (27-8 SU, 13-19-2 ATS, 13-17-1 O/U): The Cardinals dismissed Chris Jones - the team's third-leading scorer - from the team in late February but still are one win from their third Final Four trip in the last four seasons. The catalysts for Pitino's latest magical run have been Terry Rozier, who had 17 points and a career-high 14 rebounds in the Sweet 16, and Harrell, whose 24 points against the Sooners were his most since Feb. 11. "I can't say enough about him because he's the toughest guy I've ever coached and he never lets me down," Pitino said of Harrell, who is 12-of-14 from the foul line in the tournament after shooting 58.3 percent over the first 32 games.

TRENDS:

*Spartans are 4-0 ATS in their last 4 non-conference games.
*Cardinals are 26-10 ATS in their last 36 neutral site games.
*Over is 7-3 in Spartans last 10 overall.
*Under is 4-0-1 in Cardinals last 5 non-conference games.

CONSENSUS: 60.06 percent of users are backing Michigan State -2.5 with 56.7 percent on the under.

Gonzaga Bulldogs vs. Duke Blue Devils (-2.5, 145)

Gonzaga is one win away from its first trip to the Final Four, but the last remaining obstacle is a significant one. The Bulldogs have lost only twice all season - by a total of six points - but now they must get past Duke when the teams meet Sunday in Houston in the South Regional final. Second-seeded Gonzaga is in its first Elite Eight since 1999, while top-seeded Duke is one win from its 16th appearance in the Final Four and its first since 2010.

The Blue Devils won the national championship that year with a veteran lineup, but the current group of Duke stars is a trio of freshmen complemented by a sturdy senior in the backcourt. Justise Winslow starred in Duke's Sweet 16 victory against Utah, while fellow freshman Jahlil Okafor matched a season low with six points and hopes to bounce back against Gonzaga with NBA scouts watching him closely. The Bulldogs rode their two big men, Przemek Karnowski and Domantas Sabonis, to a regional semifinal win against UCLA but likely need more production from their star players on Sunday.

TV: 5:05 p.m. ET, CBS

LINE HISTORY: Duke opened at either -2 or -2.5 initially, but was -2.5 at most books rather quickly. The total opened at 146.5 before dropping to 144.5, then rebounding to 145.

INJURY REPORT: N/A

ABOUT GONZAGA (35-2 SU, 18-14-2 ATS, 19-13 O/U): Karnowski and Sabonis are the third- and fifth-leading scorers for the Bulldogs, but they combined for 30 points and 17 rebounds while their teammates struggled to 13-of-47 shooting against UCLA. Among the players who need to step up Sunday are Kyle Wiltjer, who averages a team-high 16.8 points but totaled eight on 4-of-12 shooting Friday, and Kevin Pangos (11.8 points), who went 1-of-7 from 3-point range en route to 10 points against the Bruins. "The one accomplishment that we haven't done is reach the Final Four and we finally have an opportunity to do that," said Bulldogs coach Mark Few, whose team went 10-of-16 from 3-point range in the round of 32 before going 3-of-19 in the Sweet 16.

ABOUT DUKE (32-4 SU, 21-14-1 ATS, 18-16 O/U): A native of Houston, Winslow shot 8-of-14 from the field and 3-of-4 from the arc en route to 21 points and 10 rebounds against Utah to finish with his third double-double in the last four games. "Justise played like a man all night. He did everything we needed," said senior guard Quinn Cook, who had 11 points to join Winslow and freshman Tyus Jones (15) in double figures. The Utes employed constant double-teams on Okafor, who attempted only six shots and only took one free throw while committing four turnovers in perhaps the worst game of his Blue Devils career.

TRENDS:

*Bulldogs are 4-1 ATS in their last 5 games vs. a team with a winning S.U. record.
*Blue Devils are 7-1 ATS in their last 8 games overall.
*Over is 5-1 in Bulldogs last 6 non-conference games.
*Under is 5-0 in Blue Devils last 5 overall.

CONSENSUS: 52.14 percent of users are on Duke -2.5 with 60.5 percent on the over.

The Blue Devils meet Gonzaga in Elite Eight action with a current total of 144.5.

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

Houston Rockets at Washington Wizards (+2, 205)

The Houston Rockets look to pull even in the race for the Southwest Division title when they hit the road to face the Washington Wizards on Sunday. The Rockets clinched a playoff spot with a 120-110 win over the Minnesota Timberwolves on Friday and moved within a half-game of the Memphis Grizzlies for the division lead. Houston has won eight of its last nine against Eastern Conference opponents and hopes to continue the trend by beating the Wizards for the third time in the last four meetings.

Washington snapped a four-game losing skid with a 110-107 double-overtime victory over the Charlotte Hornets on Friday. The Wizards sit two games behind the Toronto Raptors in the battle for home-court advantage in the first round of the playoffs. Washington has dropped three consecutive games against Western Conference foes, including the last two by an average margin of 27 points, and it hopes to complete the season sweep against Houston for the first time since the 1998-99 campaign.

TV: 12:30 p.m. ET, ABC

LINE HISTORY: The opening lines of Washington +2 and 205 have not moved.

INJURY REPORT: Rockets - G Patrick Beverley (Out-Wrist) Wizards - C DeJuan Blair (Ques-Personal)

ABOUT THE ROCKETS (49-23 SU, 42-30 ATS, 34-38 O/U): James Harden went 6-of-12 from beyond the arc en route to a game-high 33 points as Houston knocked down 20 3-pointers in the win over the Timberwolves. Dwight Howard added 18 points on 8-of-9 shooting in his second game back after missing the previous 26 with a knee injury and Josh Smith had 16 points, 11 assists and nine rebounds. Donatas Motiejunas missed his first game of the season with a lower back injury and will be re-evaluated in one-to-two weeks.

ABOUT THE WIZARDS (41-31 SU, 28-44-1 ATS, 33-38-2 O/U): John Wall scored 32 points, including eight in the second overtime, to go along with nine rebounds and six assists in the win over the Hornets. Bradley Beal added 16 points, six rebounds, six assists and three steals despite being bothered by a sprained ankle while Drew Gooden had 15 points and 17 boards as Washington grabbed 72 rebounds. Kris Humphries has missed the last 14 games with a groin injury but could return in time to face the Rockets on Sunday.

Pistons red-hot offense has them booming

The Detroit Pistons have gone 5-1 straight and against the spread in their past six contests, thanks to their high-octane offense. The Pistons have averaged 103.2 points per game during their past six, hitting 105 point or more on five occasions.

Not surprisingly, this has caused a rash of over tickets to cash as Detroit have an over/under mark of 5-1 in their past six.

The Pistons travel to South Beach to take on the Miami Heat Sunday.

Under hot when the 76ers and Cavaliers clash

The past four meetings between the Philadelphia 76ers and the Cleveland Cavaliers, dating back to Jan. 2013, have gone under the closing total. Those four contests have seen the 76ers average 89.3 points while the Cavs have notched 103.5 per game.

Despite combining for an average of 192.8 points per game, the average closing total for those four games was 201.5.

Timberwolves keeping games close, covering on road

The Minnesota Timberwolves have covered in four consecutive road games as the team continues to be a hard win. Not only are the T-Wolves 4-0 against the spread, they are also 2-2 straight up while forcing one of their losses into overtime.

Minnesota's scoring margin for their past four road games is even, but they have been facing an average closing line of +9.

Minnesota visits the New Orleans Pelicans Sunday.
