Armadillo: Wednesday's six-pack

Six of my favorite college team nicknames.......

-- South Dakota State Jackrabbits-- Pretty darned good basketball program.

-- TCU Horned Frogs-- Solid in football; uphill struggle in basketball.

-- Cal-Irvine Anteaters-- Apparently, anteaters make a noise......."Zot!!!"

-- Marshall Thundering Herd-- Their uniforms are an odd shade of bright green.

-- Southern Utah Thunderbirds--- Saw lot of SUU shirts this week in Las Vegas.

-- Grand Canyon Antelopes-- Basketball team is coached by Dan Majerle.

**********

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

13) Canisius 108, UL-Monroe 96, 3OT-- Griffins were down 13 with 1:02 left in game, tied it up, missed two FTs with 0:01 left in one of the OTs, then shut ULM out 12-0 in third overtime for the win. ULM's coach was sick and missed the game, which was played in a nice arena with about 80 people watching-- I was at the game before this one in the same arena. Good hamburgers.

12) Michigan State 99, Oakland 93 OT-- Grizzlies are coached by Greg Kampe; he is a very good coach who gives his players lot of freedom. This game could be red flag short-term for Spartans, who are without star Valentine for couple weeks.

11) Virginia 63, California 62 OT-- Golden Bears were up 7 at half, up 5 in first OT, but Virginia scored last six points of the game to win. Cavaliers made 7-12 on the arc, shot only 33% inside the arc.

10) Texas Tech 65, Little Rock 53-- First loss of season for the Trojans, whose new coach Beard was a Tech assistant for ten years.

9) South Carolina 75, St John's 61-- Frank Martin's Gamecocks are still unbeaten; they've played the #295 schedule, with top 100 wins over Tulsa/Clemson.

8) Houston 94, Wyoming 89, 2OT-- Kelvin Sampson's team is 9-2, but against #350 schedule, 2nd-easiest in country so far.

7) Pistons 93, Heat 92-- Stan VanGundy has Detroit at 17-12; much improved.

6) Ball State lost head football coach Pete Lembo to Maryland, where he will be the special teams coach/assistant HC. Second year in a row a MAC school lost its HC to be an assistant for a big money program- Dan Enos left Central Michigan LY to be a coordinator at Arkansas.

5) Iowa State 81, Cincinnati 79-- Quality road win for Cyclones after their loss to Northern Iowa over weekend; State played only seven guys, with two subs playing 16-11 minutes. Cyclones really need to have a big recruiting class this year.

4) Mike Leake gets $80M for five years to pitch for St Louis. His career record is a decent 64-52, 3.88 in 172 career starts- great majority of that was in small ballpark in Cincinnati, so bigger park, better team-- that adds up to $16M a year.

3) Kansas 70, San Diego State 57-- Aztecs are disappointing 5-5, Mountain West figures to be a one-bid league- they don't have anyone ranked above #70. San Diego St is a lousy offensive team; their defensive numbers are about same as usual.

2) TCU's star WR Josh Doctson will miss Horned Frogs' bowl game, very good news for Oregon. Doctson's presence in lineup opened up lot of stuff for other offensive options for TCU- they struggled badly with him and QB Boykin hurt.

1) Hawai'i 68, Northern Iowa 52-- NCAA handed down penalties to Hawai'i during day yesterday, but oddly, Warriors can go to NCAAs this year- they'll be ineligible in 2016-17. This is temporary good news for a team that might win the Big West.

Armadillo's Write-Up

Wednesday, December 23

Cleveland State won its last two games by total of 8 points after 2-7 start plagued by tough schedule made before two graduate transfers bolted for greener pastures. Vikings turn ball over 20.7% of time, have #307 eFG%; they lost by 10 at Bowling Green LY, after leading by 7 at half. BG is on third coach in three years; they lost their last two games by 15-36 points.

Illinois won its last four games after 3-5 start; they beat Missouri in last two meetings by combined four points- this game is played in St Louis, a neutral site. Illini is 4-0 vs teams outside top 150, but none of wins were by more than 12 points. Mizzou is #339 in experience; they lost couple games to Arizona/North Carolina by 36-14 points- they're 5-0 vs teams outside top 100.

Minnesota is disappointing 6-5, with losses to both South Dakota clubs, both at home; Gophers are 5-2 vs teams outside top 100- they're #275 in experience but their schedule is #269 to this point. Milwaukee upset the Badgers in Madison; they lost last game in double OT to South Dakota last Thursday- they're 2-1 on road, losing 86-78 at Notre Dame in a game where they hit 13-25 on arc to cover.

Gonzaga won its last 12 games with LMU, winning at least 12 in row at the Kennel; Zags pounded on Pepperdine in WCC opener Monday, they were 16-26 from arc in easy win. Lions lost by 27 at Portland in opener Monday; they're 0-4 vs teams in top 160, with losses by 24-8-9-1- loss at Boise (67-66) was encouraging, but getting waxed at Portland was not. LMU is 7-12 as WCC road dog under Dunlap.

Home side won six of last seven Pepperdine-Portland games, with Waves losing three of last four visits here, last two by 12-17 points. Over last six years, Pepperdine is 4-1 as WCC road favorite; over last four years, Portland is 6-11-1 as home dog. Pilots made 14-33 on arc in 87-60 win in WCC opener Monday; they force turnovers 20.8% of time (#65), are 3-1 in last four games, after a 4-6 start.

San Diego won three of last four D-I games after 1-5 start, including win over Aztecs at Petco Park; Toreros are shooting 27.9% on arc, have the #333 eFG%, making 59.3% on line. Northridge lost five of last six D-I games but got Kendall Smith eligible, which helps; he had 22 points, four assists in his debut. Matadors are turning ball over 23% of time, but that was before Smith and should improve now.

San Francisco is 5-0 vs Pacific in WCC play, winning by 5-10 points in two games here; Dons lost WCC opener by 22 to St Mary's- they're 7-9 as WCC home favorites last three years. USF is 5-0 vs teams outside top 200, with three wins by 4 or less points. Pacific pulled out an OT win at home vs Santa Clara Monday; Tigers are 8-9 as WCC roaad underdogs.

St Mary's won 18 of last 20 games with Santa Clara, winning last three by 22-13-1 points; Gaels are 16-8-1 as WCC road favorites the last four years. Broncos' last two series wins were both here- they lost OT game at a weak Pacific team Monday- they were 5-2 as WCC home underdog LY. Three of SC's last four losses are by 3 or less points- they turn ball over 20.8% of time. St Mary's lost only true road game, 63-59 at Cal.

BYU lost in OT to Harvard yesterday; two starters played 41:00+ in a game they trailed by 16 early, then led by 4 in OT. Average total in last three Cougar games is 175. New Mexico lost last two games by total of 6 points- they called TO they didn't have with 0:00.1 left Saturday in loss to Rice (90-89). Lobos used all five starters 34:00+ yesterday; one sub played more than six minutes.

Harvard was up 19-3 early yesterday, wound up rallying back in OT to nip BYU 85-82- they had eight guys play 13:00+- two guys played 35+ minutes. Crimson is missing its PG this year- Providence is only one its six losses that was by more than nine points (76-64). Auburn presses so that could be problem; Tigers were down six with 9:30 left yesterday- they're 4-0 vs teams outside top 100.

Washington State is 6-3 vs schedule #323; they lost by 9-28 to only top 200 teams they've played, getting crushed by 28 last nite by an excellent Oklahoma team. Only one guy played more than 29:00. Northern Iowa beat Iowa State on neutral floor Saturday, then lost true road game by 16 to Hawai'i last night; Panthers played two guys 38:00 in game where they hit 6-20 on arc.

Oklahoma is 9-0 with 84-78 win at Memphis in opener, only true road game so far; Sooners pounded Wazzu by 28 last nite, going 10-23 on arc in game that was only 38-31 at half. Oklahoma is making 47.2% for year on arc- they have #18 eFG%. Hawai'i is still eligible for NCAAs for this year (not next), so this is huge game for their resume. Last night was first top 100 win- they lost by 8 at Texas Tech.

SMU is 10-0 but can't go to NCAAs because their coaches cheat; they're 3-0 vs top 100 teams, with wins by 15-2-24 points- they were 25-31 on line in 90-74 win over Kent State Tuesday, Brown's first game as coach this year, after 9-game suspension. Colorado nosed out Penn State 71-70 in game where they shot 39 FTs, Lions 16; Buffs won 11 games in row since losing opener to Iowa State.
