Armadillo: Sunday's six-pack

— Bill Walton/Dick Vitale are working an NBA game together Wednesday night. Play-by-play guy will get paid and he’s not going to be able to get a word in edgewise.

— I’m not fond of watching amateurs play golf on TV; I like watching the pros, but I’m turning the channel before I watch a bunch of actors, CEO’s, athletes play golf.

— Draymond Green had a triple/double Friday night, the first one ever where the guy didn’t score at least 10 points.

— Three college hoop teams have won this year after trailing in that game by 25+ points; Nevada, Navy and Utah Valley.

— Southern Illinois honored the 50th anniversary of its 1967 NIT title team this weekend; the best player on the team was Hall of Famer Walt Frazier, who was also a great player for the Knicks.

— RIP Professor Irwin Corey, who passed away this week at age 102. One of my favorite comedians as a kid, his madcap antics made him popular on talk shows for years.

Armadillo:Sunday's List of 13: Wrapping up a basketball Saturday……

13) There were three 4-OT games during the week: here is how those six teams bounced back from those long games:
— Alabama (+7.5) lost 67-58 to Kentucky
— South Carolina (-5.5) won 77-73 at Mississippi State but didn’t cover.
— Samford (+6.5) lost 90-73 at Furman
— Wofford (+1.5) lost 73-65 to Chattanooga
— Wyoming (+3) lost 81-74 at Utah State
— Fresno State (+3) lost 78-62 at Colorado State

Summing up, those six teams combined to go 0-6 vs spread today; only South Carolina won.

12) Duke 64, Clemson 62— Mike Krzyzewski turns 70 on Monday; how long is he going to keep coaching? Clemson led this game with by a point with 10:10 left, but Duke made 11-26 on the arc and Tigers were only 2-9. Tough to overcome that.

Luke Kennard was only Blue Devil to score in double figures in this game; a small red flag.

11) Coming into today, Big X home favorites of 8+ points were 1-15-1 vs the spread this season. but all four of the league’s home favorites covered Saturday, so that stat is now 5-15-1.

10) St John’s 78, Seton Hall 70— CBS announcers said on air that part of why Chris Mullin is recruiting more international players is that they tend to be more team-oriented and are often better fundamentally. I don’t disagree but it is disappointing to hear, isn’t it?

9) Wm & Mary 89, Charleston 79
Elon 77, NC-Wilmington 76— Both frontrunners in the CAA go on the road and lose.

8) Rider 112, Quinnipiac 107— Broncs were 13-19 on arc, 31-36 on foul line; Rider really played only seven guys (an 8th guy played 3:00) in an 89-possession game- they must be tired.

7) Michigan State 77, Iowa 66— Not one Big 14 team was a top 4 seed in the initial NCAA bracket that was released Saturday, a very interesting development. Wisconsin fans have to be a little upset by that- they’re 21-3, but not considered a top 4 seed.

6) Georgia 76, Tennessee 75— Dawgs lost five of last seven games, but they’re 7-0 as an SEC road underdog- their last five road games were all decided by 4 or less points or in OT.

5) Appalachian State 77, Georgia State 72— Panthers fall out of a tie for first in Sun Belt. App State crawls out of a tie for last place.

4) Villanova 73, Xavier 57— Xavier has major injury issues, but congrats to Jay Wright on his 500th career coaching win.

3) Tennessee Tech 83, Belmont 70— First OVC loss of the season for the Bruins, who are 6-2 vs spread in OVC road games.

2) Gonzaga 74, St Mary’s 64— Next difficult game for Gonzaga should be when BYU visits Spokane; surprisingly, Cougars won two of last three visits to Spokane.

1— Ole Miss 90, Auburn 84— Rebels were down 20 at the half, 47-27, so if you took Auburn +4, you can stop reading this now. Terence Davis scored 26 points in this game, he had zero points at halftime. Ole Miss scored 27 points in first half, 63 in second half.
