Armadillo: Tuesday's six-pack

Six of the better minor league prospects for the San Francisco Giants.......

1) Christian Arroyo, SS-- 20-year old may not stay at shortstop.

2) Tyler Beede, P-- From long line of pro pitchers from Vanderbilt.

3) Phil Bickford, P-- Spent one year at Fullerton, one year at Southern Nevada.

4) Lucius Fox, SS-- 18-year old played HS ball in Florida; yet to make pro debut.

5) Chris Shaw, 1B-- Was HR champ at the Cape Cod summer league in 2014.

6) Sam Coonrod, P-- Former Saluki led Sally League in strikeouts LY.

**********

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

13) Champ Week is tremendous; these low major and mid-major tournaments are great theater-- so much pressure on the high seeds, who don't go to the NCAAs unless they win this tournament. Of the first seven tournaments that have finished, the #1 seed has won only one of them, that being Chattanooga in the Southern Conference.

12) Drexel fired Bruiser Flint, Santa Clara canned Kerry Keating, as coaching carusel begins to spin. Flint gets fired mainly because his best player Damion Lee bolted for Louisville, where he wound up not even playing in the ACC tournament.

Lot of people feeling bad for Louisville's two senior transfers when school wouldn't let the team play in the postseason, but now coach Flint is unemployed because the kid bolted his teammates/coaches for greener pastures.

11) Good coaching news: Wisconsin gives the fulltime head coaching job to interim coach Greg Gard, who led the team this year after Bo Ryan retired.

10) Illinois gives Lovie Smith six years, $21M to be its football coach; Smith was a pretty good NFL head coach (89-87) but hasn't been involved in college ball since he was DB coach at Ohio State in 1995. Who he puts on his staff will be interesting.

9) Gonzaga 88, BYU 84-- Zags beat BYU twice in nine days, are in WCC finals with St Mary's tonight. Gonzaga hasn't missed NCAAs since late 90's; I'm thinking the win last night puts them in, but one never knows about these things. Zags played two subs last night for total of 19:00; fatigue could be an issue tonight.

8) NC-Wilmington 80, Hofstra 73 OT-- CAA consistently has a fun tournament; teams are so evenly matched. If I was a bigshot at UNLV, I'd damn sure give UNCW coach Kevin Keatts an interview for the Rebels' open coaching position.

7) Chattanooga 73, East Tennessee State 67-- Mocs were up 4 late in game; kid on ETSU got smacked while shooting a 3, but no foul was called, the shooter snapped, got a T, the coach snapped, got a T and school was out. These two teams were athletic as hell, but shot selection and poise weren't at optimum levels.

6) Iona 79, Monmouth 76-- Technicals in the SoCon game were justified; this game swung on a horrendous taunting technical called with 4:05 left in a tie game. There was no visible show of anything-- swallow your damn whistle, no one paid to watch you ref, and let the kids decide the game. I didn't care who won this game, was watching it because it as a fun game and the damn ref calls a taunting technical with 4:05 left. Oy.

5) Philadelphis Eagles traded three players away for assorted draft picks, as they identify which players Chip Kelly acquired and systemically get rid of them.

4) Watched the Milwaukee-San Diego spring training game yesterday; Brewers have a new GM who looks like he is 14 years old, one of these Ivy League geniuses and he is totally rebuilding the ballclub- they could be very, very bad this season, with an eye on developing young talent, the way the Astros did the last few years.

3) Redskins released Robert Griffin III; will be very, very interesting to see where he winds up. Can he stay healthy? Will his teammates follow his lead? I'm pretty sure he has the physical tools to succeed. Can't wait to see where he lands.

2) Baltimore Orioles signed 1B Pedro Alvarez to a 1-year, $5.75M contract which has a lot of incentives in it- he should enjoy Camden Yards.

1) When Maria Sharapova's people announced a 3pm press conference the same day as Peyton Manning's farewell, should've figured it was bad news, a classic news dump. She failed a drug test in January and is facing a lengthy suspension. With all the stuff she does with commercials, this could be a very, very expensive deal-- Nike already is suspending their deal with her. I wasn't aware she is highest paid woman in sports.

College hoops betting breakdown for the major conference tournaments

Michigan State flexed its muscles to end the schedule on a six-game winning streak, boasting an average margin of victory of more than 21 points per game.

College basketball bettors were teased with a slate of mid-major conference tournaments last week, but now we get down to the nitty gritty. The seven major conferences headline the remaining tournaments this week, in what is truly one of the toughest tests for both sportsbooks and bettors.

With so many games on the go – and quick turnarounds - it’s nearly impossible to keep track of every team in every conference. In order to give you a head start on your handicapping, we highlight the seven major conference tournaments, breaking down the favorites to win and underdogs to look out for this coming week.

American Athletic Conference (March 10-13)

Favorite: Temple Owls (20-10, 14-4 in conference) – Temple has the inside track in the AAC, thanks in large part to SMU’s postseason ban. The Owls aren’t blowing away teams on the scoreboard, playing a controlled pace that averages just 68.5 points per game, which is why Temple is 3-7 Over/Under in its last 10 games including five straight Unders to finish the season.

Underdog: Houston Cougars (22-8, 12-6) – Tough to call the No. 2 seed an underdog but with SMU banned, the Cougars slide into the second spot. But don’t think they don’t deserve it. Houston took a little while to gain traction but has an extremely talented team that won three in a row and six of its last seven to end conference play. The Cougars beat Temple in Philadelphia and lost to the Owls by three at home.

Atlantic Coast Conference (March 8-12)

Favorite: North Carolina Tar Heels (25-6, 14-4) – The Tar Heels (+185 to win) take plenty of momentum into the ACC tournament, going into Durham and stealing a win from rival Duke this past weekend. North Carolina has plenty of options on offense but defensive lulls have burned this team, and defense wins in the college postseason.

Underdog: Virginia Tech Hokies (18-13, 10-8) – The Hokies (+3,300 field) are pegged as the No. 6 seed and get the winner of the Florida State-Boston College game. Surviving that, Virginia Tech meets up with a Miami team it just crushed by 15-points as a 6-point underdog. The Hokies have won five straight and are 7-3 ATS in their last 10 contests.

Big East (March 9-12)

Favorite: Villanova Wildcats (27-4, 16-2) – Villanova is a hefty +111 favorite to win the Big East tournament, but has wobbled a bit down the stretch. While still closing out the regular season campaign on with a 9-1 SU mark in the final 10 games, the Wildcats failed to cover in all but two of their last seven outings. Could those blown covers be a reason to worry Villanova faithful?

Underdog: Seton Hall Pirates (22-8, 12-6) – The Pirates are fueled by star guard Isaiah Whitehead, who averaged almost 27 points over the final four games of the season. Seton Hall went 3-1 SU and ATS in that span, and closed conference play with wins in five of its final six games – including a victory over No. 2 Xavier.

Big Ten (March 9-13)

Favorite: Michigan State Spartans (26-5, 13-5) – The Spartans didn’t win the Big Ten regular season title but did thump Indiana back on Valentine’s Day, which is why we’re giving MSU the edge here. Michigan State flexed its muscles to end the schedule on a six-game winning streak, boasting an average margin of victory of more than 21 points per game, and easily covering in each of those outings. Tom Izzo is a master of getting his team to peak at the right time.

Underdog: Purdue Boilermakers (24-7, 12-6) – The Boilermakers steadied the ship after an up-and-down February, closing Big Ten play with win straight winds. Purdue is shooting 56.3 percent during that three-game run, the highest clip in the country over that span. The Boilermakers have an OT win against Michigan State and stood toe-to-toe with Indiana at Assembly Hall in their most recent loss.

Big 12 (March 9-12)

Favorite: Kansas Jayhawks (27-4, 15-3) – The Jayhawks (+130) haven’t lost since Jan. 25 and avenged that loss to Iowa State by beating the Cyclones in the season finale, capping an 11-game win streak to finish the Big 12 calendar. Kansas will enjoy a healthy home-court feel with the conference tournament in Kansas City, Missouri.

Underdog: Texas Longhorns (20-11, 11-7) – The Longhorns are long shots, priced at +1,200 to win the Big 12 tournament, but not too many know how to make a splash in the postseason like Shaka Smart. This time of year is the reason why Texas went and scooped VCU’s famed Cinderella man. The Horns can play with top competition, and won three of their last four games with the lone loss coming to KU.

Pac-12 (March 9-12)

Favorite: Arizona Wildcats (24-7, 12-6) – Arizona got the nod from oddsmakers, ahead of regular season champ Oregon (+350). The Wildcats are stacked with top talents, and get the job done on both ends of the floor, but stumbled toward the end of the season, going 2-2 in the final four – and that win over Cal needed some late-game magic.

Underdog: Utah Utes (27-7, 13-5) – The Utes (+360) have won seven in a row heading into the postseason, including a win over Arizona at home. Utah did benefit from a home-friendly finish, playing five of those games at Salt Lake City, but this program is solid on both ends of the floor and took down some big name programs, like Duke, Temple, and San Diego State.

SEC (March 9-13)

Favorite: Kentucky Wildcats (23-8, 13-5) – The Wildcats (Even) finished second in the SEC to Texas A&M (+375) but when it comes to raw talent, UK is tough to match. John Calipari couldn’t care less about the regular season and after two strong wins to close out the campaign, Kentucky looks to be in postseason form. Junior Derek Willis returned from an ankle injury just in time, giving UK some much-needed veteran stability and toughness.

Underdog: Vanderbilt Commodores (19-12, 11-7) – A strong finish to the season has Vanderbilt set as the second overall favorite to win the SEC tournament (+350), riding into the postseason with a 6-2 mark in its final eight games, including a win over Kentucky. The Commodores can knock down the 3-pointer and don’t give up many 3-point looks, which makes them a dangerous team come tourney time.

ACC Conference Tournament 1st Round Betting Preview

Florida State is playing some of its best basketball of the season, but have a lot of work to do if they want an invite to the 'Big Dance'.

The ACC is the first of the major college basketball conferences to get their conference tournament underway, with the first round tipping off Tuesday afternoon. Wake Forset meets N.C. State, while Boston College takes on Florida State.

Tournament to be played at Verizon Center, Washington, D.C.

Wake Forest Demon Deacons vs. North Carolina State Wolfpack (-4.5, 153.5)

* Wake Forest will look for another big performance from senior forward Devin Thomas, who posted two of his 13 double-doubles during a season split with the Wolfpack. Thomas averaged 17.5 points and 16 rebounds against NC State this season, and collected a career-high 21 rebounds in the loss on Feb. 13. Thomas averages 15.7 points and 10.1 rebounds and the 21-board outing against NC State last month was the most by a Demon Deacons' player since legendary Tim Duncan collected 22 in 1997.

* North Carolina State's best chance of making a tournament run is by relying on junior guard Anthony 'Cat' Barber, the ACC's leading scorer at 23.4 points per game. Barber had a career-high 38 points in a 99-88 victory over the Demon Deacons on Feb. 13. The Wolfpack lost four of their last six games while staggering down the stretch and one of the wins was a last-second victory over Boston College, which went winless in ACC play.

Betting Stats:

Wake Forest - 11-19 SU, 12-15-1 ATS, 12-16 O/U

NC State - 15-16 SU, 13-15 ATS, 17-11 O/U

Trends:

* Favorite is 4-1 ATS in the last five meetings.
* Over is 5-0 in the last five meetings.
* Over is 6-0 in NC State's last six games following an ATS loss.
* NC State is 0-4 ATS in its last four games overall.

Boston College Eagles vs. Florida State Seminoles (-13, 138)

* Boston College (0-18) is the only major conference team in Division I basketball without a conference win this season and is running out of chances. The Eagles played several teams tight in conference play, including a 72-62 home loss to the Seminoles on Jan 26. Boston College was within four points with nine minutes left in that one but could not quite get over the hump.

* Florida State is playing some of their best basketball with wins over Notre Dame and Syracuse in the last two regular-season games but could not quite make it out of the first day of ACC tournament play. The Seminoles aspire to make a deep run in the ACC tournament and play their way into an NCAA Tournament berth and are not taking the Eagles lightly. “Every team you play in the ACC, regardless of where you’re ranked or the standing will be a tough opponent for you,” coach Leonard Hamilton told reporters after his team closed the regular season with a 78-73 home win over Syracuse on Saturday.

Betting Stats:

Boston College - 7-24 SU, 9-16-1 ATS, 8-18 O/U

Florida State - 18-12 SU, 11-14-1 ATS, 14-12 O/U

Trends:

* Boston College is 5-1-1 ATS in its last seven games following an ATS loss.
* Florida State is 13-3-1 ATS in their last 17 games versus a team with a losing SU record.
* Under is 6-1 in Boston College's last seven games following an ATS loss.
* Over is 6-0 in Floida State's last six games following a SU win.

Big Sky tournament (Reno)
This is first time I can remember the Big Sky having its tournament at a totally neutral site. Good idea.

Portland State won four of last five games after an 8-16 start; Vikings are 3-4 in this event since winning it in '09/'10. PSU won 89-86 at Northern Colorado 10 days ago- they were +9 in turnovers (18-9), made 62.5% of 2-pointers.

This is SUU's first Big Sky tourney since 2013, when they lost 69-52 to North Dakota in first round. UND lost its last five games away form home- its last road win was 88-72 at Southern Utah Jan 23, UND shot 59% inside arc, led 43-21 at the half. .

Sacramento State is 1-2 in Big Sky tourney last two years after missing it seven years in row before that; Hornets got swept by Montana State, losing 71-64 on road (Bobcats were 11-24 on arc), 79-76 at home .

St Mary's won its last eight games overall; they swept Gonzaga, with a 70-67 home win (were down 15 with 13:47 left), 63-58 road win (Zags were 5-26 on arc). Since '04, Gonzaga is 25-3 in WCC tourney, 6-2 vs St Mary's in WCC tourney; they won last four games, beating BYU twice, by 3-4 points. Gonzaga's starters all played 32:00+ last nite; they used two subs, for 15-4 minutes. St Mary's two wins this week are by 12-15. I'm thinking both teams are in NCAAs, but neither one knows for sure.
