Armadillo: Monday's six-pack

— Longtime NFL assistant, 77-year old Monte Kiffin will join his son’s coaching staff at Florida Atlantic.

— San Diego Padres have 68 players in major league camp; 36 pitchers, 7 catchers.

— Hawai’i Rainbows are eligible for postseason; they weren’t sure of that until the other day, so that has to be a big lift for their players/coaches.

— Cavaliers made 25 3-pointers (25-46) Friday night in Atlanta, an NBA record.

— Washington Huskies’ WR John Ross ran a 4.22 40-yard dash at the NFL Combine.

— Some team at the NFL Combine asked Texas Tech QB Patrick Mahomes “are you a cat or a dog?” What is the purpose of asking that?

**********

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

13) Siena 89, Monmouth 85— Only way the MAAC tournament makes money is if it is in Albany, because if Siena is good, then they’ll draw 9-10,000 for semis/finals. Nowhere else in the league would this happen, so the MAAC tourney is most always in beautiful downtown Albany (I live here, but didn’t go to Siena).

Monmouth is the best team in the MAAC but they had to play a true road game Sunday and they played lousy defense, blowing a 14-point halftime lead. Nico Clareth scored all 27 of his points in the second half for the Saints, who get to play in the MAAC final on their home court Monday.

12) There is one solution to the MAAC’s dilemma that would still make money for the league; divide the tournament up, totally on campus sites, with higher seeded team hosting every game. Some of the smaller leagues do it that way.

Next weekend, the Ivy League has its first tournament; Penn is the host. Princeton went 14-0 in the Ivy this year, but their first game Saturday in the tournament is at Penn. In the Palestra.

11) Wichita State 71, Illinois State 51— Redbirds are 27-6, going 19-2 in MVC games, with both losses to Wichita. I’d much rather see ISU get in the NCAA’s than a 10th team from the ACC, but the reality of life is that the big-$$$ schools have an advantage in this.

Guarantee you this; going to be a VERY long week for coach Mullen and the Redbirds.

10) Purdue 69, Northwestern 65— I’m not a big Matt Painter fan, but his team sucked it up at the end and won a tough road game here. Freshman G Edwards has made a difference this year for the Boilers, who are 11-2 in their last thirteen games.

9) Lehigh 91, Boston U 88, 2OT— Top seed in Patriot League takes a hike, which could mean that whoever wins the tournament is headed to Dayton for a play-in game.

8) CAA tournament gets top two seeds in their final Monday night; NC-Wilmington and Charleston in North Charleston, but not in the Cougars’ gym.

7) It bothers me that Mike Krzyzewski’s son-in-law is an analyst for ESPN and they never say he is related to Coach K, occasionally they refer to his having coached at Duke. Anyway, Clemson coach Brad Brownell had to be thrilled when Mr Spatola was speculating on air this week that the Clemson job could come open this spring. Mind your own business, sir.

6) ESPN now seems to interview Lonzo Ball’s dad during every UCLA game; turns out he played at Washington State briefly under Kelvin Sampson 30 years ago, but washed out and wound up playing at LA City College or LA State College. His son is really good and will be in the NBA next year, just do not understand why his dad needs to be on TV so much.

5) Horizon League tournament might be the weirdest conference tournament ever; first three tourney games all resulted in upsets, with underdogs of 12.5/8.5/6 points all winning- those three teams combined to 16-38 in the Horizon regular season this year.

4) Missouri fired coach Kim Anderson, a Mizzou alum who went 8-46 in SEC games in his three years in Columbia. Tough job; will be interesting to see who takes it on next.

3) Not only is the Big 14 tournament in Washington this week, next year it is moving to New York City for a year and will be a week earlier than normal so it doesn’t interfere with the Big East tournament, which is always in Madison Square Garden.

2) The #6-#11 seed game in Mountain West tournament is UNLV-San Diego State, which seems very weird to type. Its like if Wily E Coyote finally got the upper hand on the Road Runner; just doesn’t make a lot of sense.

1— Over the last five years, in college conferences that got only one bid to the NCAA’s, the #1 seed won only 37 of 100 conference tournaments.

Bubble Watch: Illinois State starts a long week
March 6, 2017

Imagine waiting a week to hear whether or not you have done enough to earn the biggest of your dreams.

That's what Illinois State faces.

The Redbirds, a true definition of a bubble team for the NCAA Tournament, lost to No. 21 Wichita State in the championship game of the Missouri Valley Tournament on Sunday.

Whether or not they are in the field of 68 won't be announced until next Sunday. Seven agonizing days listening to people give their opinion on whether or not they are in.

''I definitely think we should be in,'' senior guard Tony Wills told the Normal (Illinois) Pentagraph. ''I think we have some big wins. I think this team is really special. It's the best team I've ever been on and I don't want to be done playing.''

Big wins are one thing the Redbirds are missing on the tournament resume. They split the season series with Wichita State, and that's their lone quality win, one that will impress the selection committee, anyway.

''We just have to pray and have faith that we get in,'' senior forward Deontae Hawkins said. ''We had an outstanding season. We didn't get the automatic bid that we wanted, but we played some great basketball this year.''

The Missouri Valley Conference was down this season from the usual campaign where it would have four, even five quality teams. This season it was Wichita State and Illinois State by themselves.

''I mean, we lost one game in conference, same as them,'' senior guard Keyshawn Evans said of the Shockers. ''Besides the two Wichita games, I can't remember the last time we lost a game. We've only lost to them since I don't know when. That would probably be my argument.''

The Redbirds (27-6), who came into the title game on an eight-game winning streak and with an RPI in the 30s, have to hope the committee agrees with that assessment.

The Big Ten dominated Sunday's schedule and two bubble teams that needed wins got them.

Iowa (18-13, 10-8) started the conference season 3-5 but turned things around, a trend that continued with a 90-79 victory over Penn State. It would do the Hawkeyes well to definitely win one, maybe even a second game in the Big Ten Tournament.

Michigan (20-11, 10-8) was in much better shape than Iowa, but the Wolverines added a 93-57 mashing of Nebraska to close the season.

Minnesota seemed likely to make the tournament field, but a win over Wisconsin would have been a great way to end the regular season. The Gophers fell 66-49.

The Gophers rebounded from an eight-win season in 2015-16 to where they didn't have to worry about being on the bubble.

''We will get excited about where we sit right now because that's in a great spot,'' coach Richard Pitino said.

The other Big Ten team that lost in a bubble-breaking situation was Northwestern, which fell 69-65 to No. 16 Purdue. The Wildcats (21-10, 10-8) have become a fan favorite as they wait for the call to their first ever NCAA Tournament.

''We don't take anything for granted, we don't feel our ticket is punched until we see it on Sunday,'' guard Bryant McIntosh said.

Bubble talk can take a rest Monday when none of the power conferences are playing. Things will heat up again quickly Tuesday when the Atlantic Coast Conference Tournament gets underway.
