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

13) Michigan State 76, Louisville 70 OT-- Izzo is now 21-4 in turnaround games, as Spartans bench had 26-5 scoring edge in game they trailed by 8 at half. This is 4th time in last five years a team seeded 7th or lower made the Final Four.

12) Duke 66, Gonzaga 52-- Zags' Wiltjer had an easy layup to tie game with 4:51 left, but missed badly and Gonzaga was outscored 13-1 from that point on. Three 1-seeds make the Final Four, most since all four made it in '08. Last five years, only one 1-seed each year had made the Final Four.

11) DePaul hired Dave Leitao as its coach, 10 years after he bolted DePaul to be head coach at Virginia. Leitao got the Blue Demons to NCAAs in 2004, when they played in what was a pretty good Conference USA. Twitter mainly bashed the hiring, but the guy knows the school, has had success there, and he'll probably stay there.

10) St John's has offered Chris Mullin its coaching job; no answer yet. Mullin has no coaching experience, but is an alumnus and a famous name who has been an NBA GM-- Interweb reports say he is expected to accept the job.

9) Former Manhattan coach Barry Rohrssen is a good pal of Mullin's and would be an ace recruiter for the Red Storm, but he's still a little busy, being an assistant coach for Kentucky. Mullin will need to hire two solid recruiters.

8) Cal-Irvine's Russell Turner turned George Mason down; he has some experience in the NBA, so likely could land a bigger job than George Mason down the road. Plus, he has 7-foot-6 Ndiaye coming back; the Anteaters will be good again next season.

7) Utah State waited a long time before announcing they hired from within, naming assistant coach Tim Duryea to replace longtime coach Stew Morrill.

6) One more Izzo note: he is now 13-9 in NCAA tourney games when they wear green jerseys, which means they're the lower-seeded team. 13-9 as a lower seed.

5) Would people really buy a Buick just because it has WiFi? Seriously?

4) Little unusual that college hockey takes this week off, waiting until April 9-11 to have the Frozen Four. Extra week gets them lot more attention, since basketball will obviously be front-and-center all this week.

3) Jimmy Walker wins the PGA Tour event in San Antonio, making him first repeat winner this season, and first 54-hole leader in 11 weeks to win that tournament.

2) In last 12 NCAA tournaments, eight regional final games went to overtime; thats 8 out of 48 games, a pretty high number.

1) At no point this season did I think Michigan State was a Final Four team; they lost at home to Texas Southern Dec 20, they're 3-5 in overtime games this year, lost at home to Minnesota and Illinois, but they're mentally tough and they're still playing.

NCAA Tournament Opening Betting Line Report: Inside the Final Four odds

After two weekends of wall-to-wall basketball, full of heart-pounding wins and losses – for teams, bettors and sportsbooks alike – the NCAA Tournament is down to the Final Four. And it should be just as much of a screamer as the rest of the Big Dance.

You’ve got top overall seed Kentucky (38-0 SU, 19-17-2 ATS) aiming to complete a perfect season, something that hasn’t been done since Indiana accomplished the feat in 1976. The Wildcats got arguably their sternest test all season when they held off No. 3 seed Notre Dame 68-66 as an 11-point favorite in the Midwest Region final Saturday. That gave Kentucky a date with fellow top seed Wisconsin (35-3 SU, 20-17-1 ATS), which bested No. 2 seed Arizona 85-78 as a 1.5-point underdog in the West final.

On Sunday, No. 1 seed Duke (33-4 SU, 22-14-1 ATS) stifled No. 2 seed Gonzaga 66-52 laying 1.5 points in the South final, and No. 7 seed Michigan State (27-11 SU, 22-16 ATS) – a 2-point chalk – topped No. 4 seed Louisville 76-70 in overtime in the East final.

So how do things shape up for the Final Four? John Avello, executive director of race and sports for The Wynn, and John Lester, senior lines manager for bookmaker.eu, provide Covers with their insights.

No. 1 Wisconsin vs. No. 1 Kentucky (-6.5)

It’s a rematch from last year’s Final Four, which Kentucky won 74-73 to push as a 1-point fave.

“This is one of the lower numbers Kentucky’s had through the whole year,” Avello told Covers, and in fact, the ‘Cats have been double-digit chalk in all their postseason games – in the SEC and NCAA tourneys. “Wisconsin is a quality team, with good shooters outside and great players inside. Now, they need to beat the big dog to have a chance to win the title.

“In my ratings, I had Kentucky at 5.5 or 6, but that just felt a little light to me.”

Lester said his crew batted around a range of numbers before going with Avello’s initial feeling, making Kentucky a 5.5-point favorite at Bookmaker.

“Many believed these were the best two teams in the country coming into the tournament, and you could easily make that argument now,” Lester told Covers. “Kentucky has been a public darling all year of course, but the Badgers have had a lot of square and sharp support throughout the Big Dance.

“Our guys were between 4 to 7 points for this matchup. We shaded toward the favorite because we will need to attract some money on Wisconsin.”

No. 7 Michigan State vs. No. 1 Duke (-5.5)

Duke is no surprise in the matchup. Michigan State is, to a degree.

“You’ve got a team nobody expected to get there this year,” Avello said. “Michigan State has a history of getting through the tournament, but this year didn’t seem like their year. Hats off to Coach Tom Izzo again for the way he gets his team ready to win it all – not to win the Big Ten, but to win it all.”

So what about the number?

“At the beginning of the tournament, Duke would have been favored by 8 to 9 points over Michigan State,” Avello said. “My adjustment has been made. Michigan State is better now than at the beginning of the tournament, but is Duke worse? I don’t think so.”

As with the Wisconsin-Kentucky line, Lester came in a little tighter, with Michigan State opening at +4.5. But he entertained 5.5 and fully expects the number to jump.

“The Spartans just feel like that team of destiny, like UConn last year. But they are overmatched from a personnel perspective here,” Lester said. “Michigan State claws to come back and win games, while the Blue Devils grind to preserve wins.

“I felt like we could’ve made this a point higher, and I’m expecting the number to jump throughout the week.”

Monday, March 30

Raptors' PG Kyle Lowry, doubtful Monday

Lowry is dealing with back spasms and has missed the last two games. He is unlikely to return Monday against the Rockets.

Hawks' PG Jeff Teague, doubtful Monday

Teague has missed the last two games with an ankle injury and is unlikely to return Monday against the Bucks.

T-Wolves' PG Ricky Rubio, questionable Monday

Rubio has missed the last six contests with a sore right ankle and but could return Monday against the Jazz.

Cavaliers' PF Kevin Love, probable Thursday

Love suffered a lower-back injury Sunday but is expected to play Thursday against the Heat.

Favorites cash on the court Sunday

NBA favorites cashed for bettors Sunday night, going 6-2-1 against the spread.

Favorites were a decent bet all week going 30-22-1 ATS in the last seven days, hitting at a rate of 57.7 percent.

Wizards hit another ATS slump, are NBA's worst bet

The Washington Wizards lost 99-91 as 2-point dogs to the Houston Rockets Sunday and it was the sixth consecutive game they failed to cover the spread.

It is the third time this season the Wizards have been on a cold betting streak of at least six games or more. The two previous times, they went nine straight games without covering a spread.

The latest cold streak has the Wizards at 28-45-1 ATS on the season, the worst record in the NBA.

Washington is off until Wednesday when they host the Philadelphia 76ers.

NBA roundup: Cavs slip past Sixers

CLEVELAND -- LeBron James scored 20 points and grabbed 11 rebounds, and the Cavaliers survived a scare from the Philadelphia 76ers for an 87-86 victory Sunday, although Cleveland lost two key players to injury.

Cleveland forward Kevin Love, who has battled back problems throughout the season, took an elbow to his lower back in the fourth quarter and had to leave the game soon after. Cavs guard Iman Shumpert jammed his ankle going up for a dunk in the second quarter and left the game immediately. Neither player returned, but neither injury is considered serious.

The Cavs began the day with everyone available, yet they only survived when Philadelphia's Nerlens Noel missed a contested shot in the lane in the game's final seconds.

Neither team scored a basket for the final 3:57. The Sixers missed their final five shots and their last four free throws, while the Cavs missed their last six shots. Philadelphia guard Ish Smith missed a pair of open 3-pointers, and forward Robert Covington (team-high 19 points) missed two free throws, all in the final 90 seconds,

Rockets 99, Wizards 91

WASHINGTON -- Guard James Harden scored 24 points, and Houston fended off a second-half rally for a win over Washington.

Forward Corey Brewer scored 15 points and forward Josh Smith had 14 points and 10 rebounds for the Rockets, who won their fourth straight. Center Dwight Howard had 11 points and 10 rebounds.

Guard John Wall finished with 25 points for the Wizards, coming up short of his third straight game with 30 or more points. The All-Star also had 12 assists and made 11 of 12 free throws. Washington lost for the fifth time in six games.

Pelicans 110, Timberwolves 88

NEW ORLEANS -- Forward Anthony Davis scored 28 points and grabbed nine rebounds, and center Omer Asik added 15 points to lead New Orleans past injury-riddled Minnesota.

Davis struggled with his outside shot, going 10-for-21 from the floor, but he made eight of 10 free throws. Guard Eric Gordon added 12 points, and forward Quincy Pondexter, guard Norris Cole and center Alexis Ajinca had 10 each for New Orleans.

Minnesota got a team-high 20 points from forward Andrew Wiggins, but the Timberwolves killed their chances with 21 turnovers.

Nets 107, Lakers 99

NEW YORK -- Center Brook Lopez collected 30 points and 11 rebounds, and Brooklyn held on for a victory over Los Angeles.

Forward Joe Johnson added 18 points and rookie guard Markel Brown contributed a career-high 17 points for Brooklyn, which equaled a season high with three consecutive wins. Lopez posted his sixth straight game with at least 20 points and reached 30 points for the fourth time in six games, helping Brooklyn win for the seventh time in nine games.

Center Jordan Hill returned to the Los Angeles lineup after sitting out three games and collected 22 points and 16 rebounds. The Lakers lost for the 12th time in 15 games.

Pacers 104, Mavericks 99

INDIANAPOLIS -- C.J. Miles scored 28 points, including a clutch 3-pointer with one minute remaining and two free throws with 1.7 seconds to go, leading Indiana past Dallas. It was the first time in 34 games this season that the Mavericks lost when leading after three quarters. Indiana snapped a four-game home losing streak.

Two free throws from center Roy Hibbert broke a tie and gave the Pacers a 99-97 lead with 1:30 remaining. Miles followed with the 3-pointer 30 seconds later for a 102-97 lead. Dallas forward Chandler Parson made a layup with 55 second to go to slice the deficit to 102-99, but the Mavericks, who managed only 38 second-half points, did not score again.

Hibbert and guard George Hill each added 14 for Indiana. Parsons led Dallas with 27 points and 10 rebounds. Forward Dirk Nowitzki had 19 points and five rebounds, and guard Rajon Rondo added 17 points and 10 assists.

Spurs 103, Grizzlies 89

SAN ANTONIO -- Kawhi Leonard scored 25 points as San Antonio defeated Memphis. The Spurs forward scored the team's first 15 points of the fourth quarter and helped doom the Grizzlies to their third consecutive loss, matching their longest slump of the season.

Leonard shot 11-for-17 from the field and finished one point shy of tying his career high.

San Antonio forward Tiago Splitter added 15 points and guard Tony Parker scored 17. Forward Zach Randolph led the Grizzlies with 20 points on 9-of-16 shooting while forward Jeff Green chipped in with 19.

Thunder 109, Suns 97

PHOENIX -- Kyle Singler, D.J. Augustin and Anthony Morrow all hit 3-pointers during a 13-0 Oklahoma City run early the fourth quarter, and the Thunder rallied from a 20-point, first-half deficit to beat Phoenix.

Guard Russell Westbrook led the Thunder with 33 points, but he scored just four in the fourth quarter and was on the bench resting when his teammates took control of the game. He made only 10 of 29 shots from the floor.

Augustin finished with 19 points, and guard Dion Waiters scored nine of his 18 in the third quarter. Thunder center Steven Adams added 13 points and 16 rebounds. Forward Markieff Morris had 24 points to lead the Suns, but he scored only four in the second half.

Heat 109, Pistons 102

MIAMI -- Undersized and undermanned Miami stretched its home winning streak to a season-best five. Shooting guard Dwyane Wade scored a game-high 40 points to lead the Heat, who had just nine healthy players available in the second half.

Wade scored 19 of his points in the fourth quarter. Miami's Udonis Haslem, playing center, had a season-high 18 points to go with a season-high 13 rebounds, and rookie forward James Ennis came off the bench to score a career-high 16 points. Center Drummond led Detroit with 32 points and 14 rebounds, and guard Reggie Jackson added 31 points.

Miami, playing without four injured 6-foot-10 or taller big men, Chris Bosh, Josh McRoberts, Hassan Whiteside and Chris Andersen, lost forwards Luol Deng (knee) and Michael Beasley (elbow) to injuries.

Clippers 119, Celtics 106

BOSTON -- Los Angeles saw its 35-point lead slip to 14 in the fourth quarter Sunday, but the Clippers held on to beat Boston.

Clippers center DeAndre Jordan, who finished with 15 points and 14 rebounds, missed 12 of 15 free throws. Los Angeles guard J.J. Redick hit five of six attempts from behind the 3-point arc and scored 24 of his 27 points in the first three quarters. Guard Chris Paul had 21 points and 10 assists, and forward Blake Griffin added 21 points and nine rebounds.

Guard Isaiah Thomas came off the bench to lead six Celtics (four of them reserves) in double figures with 19 points. Thomas added seven assists. Boston center Tyler Zeller delivered 16 points.
