Armadillo: Friday's six-pack

-- Iowa 76, Michigan State 59-- Iowa spanked Spartans twice this year; they were so much quicker to loose balls in this game.

-- Tulsa 60, UConn 51-- Why are these schools in the same league?

-- Louisville 59, Pitt 41-- This eyesore of a game was 20-17 at halftime.

-- Rider 102, Marist 100 2OT-- Red Foxes took 46 FT, 36 3's. Wild game.

-- BYU 69, Gonzaga 68-- Second year in row Cougars won in Spokane.

-- Cal-Irvine 58, Long Beach State 54-- Two of the better teams in the Big West.

**********

Armadillo: Friday's List of 13: Random stuff with weekend here........

Lot of NFL coaching news Thursday.........

13) 49ers signed Chip Kelly; the 49er Gift Shop had Colin Kaepernick jerseys on the clearance rack, but once Kelly got hired, those jerseys aren't clearance items anymore-- he is the ideal QB for Kelly's offense.

12) Giants promoted OC Ben McAdoo to head coach, crediting his work with Eli Manning the last two years. I have some questions/comments about this.

-- How much of Eli's improvement is McAdoo, and how much is Odell Beckham? In Philly, Nick Foles threw 27 TDs with two INTs when he had DeSean Jackson on his team. Foles went to St Louis with subpar WRs and he got benched.
-- Giants retained Steve Spagnuolo as DC; his defense was NFL's worst LY.
-- They fired a Hall of Fame head coach but kept the coordinator of the worst defense in the league? Thats either stupid or age descrimination. Or both.

11) Tampa Bay hired OC Dirk Koetter as coach; they fired Lovie Smith because they didn't trust him to hire an OC who would work well with Jameis Winston once Koetter got a head coaching job elsewhere. Weird way to run a $1B business.

10) Philly will turn to Chiefs' OC Doug Pederson as its next head coach. Pederson is the answer to a trivia question; he played QB for Miami in the game that Don Shula became the winningest coach in NFL history, in 1993 against the Eagles.

9) Rex Ryan hired his brother Rob as a defensive assistant; Buffalo's defense was better before Rex Ryan became the Bills' head coach.

8) NFL Network airs a replay of Super Bowl I tonight; 17 Hall of Famers played in that game which ironically was played in the LA Coliseum, which has been in the news a lot this week, with the Rams moving back to Los Angeles this coming season.

7) Hurricane Alex is the first January hurricane in the Atlantic Ocean since 1938.

6) Major League baseball put in a new rule for 2016: every team has to have a full-time Spanish translator. Not sure why you wouldn't have one anyway, as well as have your coaches be bilingual, with so many Hispanic players these days.

5) Dodgers have six people working in their front office who at one time were GMs of a major league team. Thats a little top-heavy, no?

4) Former NBA player Corey Maggette works Big West games on Prime Ticket in LA; he pointed out last night that Cal-Irvine's 7-foot-6 center Mamadou Ndiaye wears low-cut sneakers when he plays, almost like deck shoes. Very unusual; I'm guessing he gets his ankles taped, but you don't see many players wearing low-cut sneakers.

3) San Diego State's Skylar Spencer is a lefty, but when he was shooting 30% on the foul line, it was suggested that he shoot free throws right-handed. He has improved his %age into the upper 50's and looked like he had good touch in Wednesday's game.

2) Pro golfer Kevin Kisner lost three playoffs last year, the first PGA golfer to do that since 1937-- he later won a tournament too, so it was a big money year for him, making $3,567,939. You still make a lot of money when lose a playoff.

1) So far in the Atlantic 14 this season, favorites are 20-8 against the spread.

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

The Cavs lost last night for just the third time in their last 17 games, while the Rockets have quietly won five in a row.

Cleveland Cavaliers at Houston Rockets (+2, 205)

The Houston Rockets are playing their best basketball of the season and put a season-best five-game winning streak on the line when they host the Cleveland Cavaliers on Friday. Houston has won six consecutive games against Cleveland but the Cavaliers also have been playing well and had an eight-winning streak halted by red-hot San Antonio on Thursday.

The Cavaliers are 4-1 on a six-game road excursion that concludes in Houston, and they let a double-digit lead get away in the 99-95 loss to the Spurs. "We could have executed better but it's tough to do against San Antonio," forward LeBron James told reporters after seeing an early 15-point lead dissipate. "They are always in the right position to make the most out of every possession." The Rockets have put aside their early-season troubles and their winning streak continued with Wednesday's 107-104 victory over the Minnesota Timberwolves. "We're playing for each other, that's the most important thing," guard James Harden told reporters. "So if a guy messes up, guys got his back. Everything isn't going to be perfect all the time and that's what we're starting to realize and we're just helping each other out."

TV: 9:30 p.m. ET, ESPN, FSN Ohio (Cleveland), ROOT (Houston)

LINE HISTORY: Despite playing the second half of a back-to-back the Cavaliers have opened as 2-point home favorites. The total has opened at 205.

INJURY REPORT:

Cavaliers - PG M. Williams (questionable Friday, personal).

Rockets - PG P. Beverley (questionable Friday, personal), PF D. Motiejunas (out indefinitely, back), SF S. Decker (Mid February, back).

POWER RANKINGS: Cavaliers (-9.5) - Rockets (-1.7) + home court (-3) = Rockets +4.8

ABOUT THE CAVALIERS (27-10, 16-20-1 ATS, 17-20 O/U): The loss to San Antonio was just the third in 17 games for Cleveland, which was outscored by 16 points during the final three quarters and also committed 18 turnovers. "They did a good job of taking us out of our sets but we also had some really good looks that didn't go down for us," said James, who scored 22 points for his seventh 20-point outing in eight games. Power forward Kevin Love has notched three straight double-doubles but is shooting just 34.4 percent from the field in the past eight contests.

ABOUT THE ROCKETS (21-19, 16-24 ATS, 21-19 O/U): Harden had 27 points and 11 assists against Minnesota and went over the 10,000 career-point mark — his total sits at 10,005 points. "It's definitely a great individual achievement," Harden told reporters. "Credit to this organization for helping me get there. But that's just the beginning. I've got a long way to go." Harden was just 8-of-22 shooting against the Timberwolves while scoring 20 or more points for the 10th time in 11 games.

TRENDS:

* Cavaliers are 0-4-1 ATS in their last five games in the second half of a back-to-back.
* Rockets are 6-1 ATS in their last seven versus teams from the Central Division.
* Under is 4-0 in Cavaliers last four games in the second half of a back-to-back.
* Over is 4-0 in the Rockets last four games overall.

CONSENSUS: The public is backing the Cavaliers with 61 percent of wagers backing them. As for the total, 61 percent of wagers are on the Over.
