Armadillo: Wednesday's six-pack

— Kentucky 69, Michigan State 48— Spartans start out 0-2.

— Baylor 66, Oregon 49— Ducks’ best player didn’t play.

— Indiana State 80, Ball State 74 OT— Good win for Larry Bird’s alma mater

— Dayton 77, Alabama 72— Crimson Tide is lot better than they were last year.

— South Carolina 70, Monmouth 69 OT— Will games like this serve the Hawks well at MAAC tourney in March?

— George Washington 77, Siena 75— Rough day/night for the MAAC, going 1-6, with only win against Dartmouth.

**********

Armadillo: Wednesday's List of 13: Mid-week musings…….

13) Jared Goff gets his long-awaited first start for the Rams this week against the Dolphins. LA scored one TD on its last 32 drives, so the bar has been set low for improvement over his predecessor.

12) 30 years ago today was November 16, 1986, Jim Everett’s debut with the Rams. He didn’t start, but rallied the Rams back from down 13-0 to lead New England 28-16, but the day didn’t have a happy ending. Patriots scored on a Hail Mary on the last play of the game to win 30-28.

I hope this Sunday has a happier ending.

11) Trivia: Steve Dils started that ’86 game at QB for the Rams, one of only nine games he started for LA.

10) ESPN’s college basketball marathon was last couple nights; very difficult to keep a normal sleep schedule this week. The best games were oddly enough, the 4:15am/6:30am games, from Hawai’i and Hartford.

Long time ago, maybe 25 years ago, friend of mine and I used to joke that “….if ESPN wanted teams to play at 3am, they would”, then it turned out to be true, for at least one night a year.

9) Northeastern 64, UConn 61— Huskies are 0-2 for first time since 1968.

8) New Hampshire 57, Temple 52— Owls lost two players to injuries during the summer, are down this year, but losing to New Hampshire is especially ominous.

7) Gonzaga 69, San Diego State 48— Been long time since the Aztecs got spanked like this; they’ve got lot of injuries right now, and maybe Gonzaga is really good, but this was a bad game.

6) Underdogs were 9-3 vs spread in NFL Sunday, making it a very good day for Las Vegas sportsbooks. Public bets favorites and with eight underdogs winning SU, they had a rough day Sunday.

5) Seattle-New England game on NBC Sunday night was highest-rated Week 10 game since 1998.

4) Giants’ six wins are by a total of 21 points; they’re 3-1 this year in games decided by 3 or less points, after being 2-10 in such games from 2012-15.

3) Minnesota Vikings cut kicker Blair Walsh, who missed eight kicks this year and also a big kick in their playoff loss to the Seahawks last year. He is expected to be replaced by former Redskins’ kicker Kai Forbath.

2) Maryland 76, Georgetown 75— Epic gag job by Hoyas, who led by 5 with 0:20 left. Big win for Mark Turgeon; I saw their first game against American and they didn’t look that good. This was an intense game.

1) Bengals/Falcons are only NFL teams who’ve started the same five offensive linemen in every game this season.
