    Armadillo: Saturday's six-pack

    — Jacksonville State 65, Belmont 59— Bruins went 15-1 in OVC, lost first tourney game. Most famous JSU alum? Maybe Dieter Brock, longtime CFL QB who led Rams to playoffs in 1985.

    — Princeton 73, Harvard 69— Tigers are 13-0 in Ivy; Harvard was 13-28 on arc, still lost.

    — Campbell 66, Redford 50— 17-16 Camels (#7 seed) are in the Big South finals.

    — Western Michigan 88, Central Michigan 80— Broncos head to MAC tourney on an 8-game win streak.

    — Akron 66, Kent State 56— Surprisingly intense rivalry game in the MAC.

    — Noah Syndergaard’s salary this year? $605,500.

    **********

    Armadillo: Saturday's List of 13: Clearing out a cluttered mind……..

    13) Former players at Georgetown are grumbling about the program’s recent struggles, but they won’t go on record with complaints, because they’re afraid of former coach John Thompson, father of current coach John Thompson III. Grown men are actually afraid of him.

    JTIII got the Hoyas to the Final Four ten years ago, but they’ve only made the NCAA’s one of last four years and since ’07, Georgetown is 3-7 in NCAA tournament games, losing to mid-majors like Davidson-Ohio U-VCU-Florida Gulf Coast.

    Apparently lot of the program’s biggest donors are former Hoya players, so if you alienate the elder Thompson, you risk losing those donors, who are loyal to him, meaning JTII probably gets to keep his job as long as he wants it. Must be fun to be the athletic director.

    12) Longtime LA Kings radio announcer Bob Miller is retiring after 44 years with the team; he is beloved by hockey fans in southern California.

    11) Best wishes to Minnesota Vikings’ coach Mike Zimmer, who is having his 5th/6th procedures on his damaged eye that caused him to miss a game last season.

    10) Jake Elmore is a baseball journeyman; he’s appeared in 197 games over the last five years, but here’s the thing— he’s been on a different team all five years.

    2012— 73 plate appearances in 30 games for Arizona
    2013— 136 PA in 52 games for Houston
    2014— 12 PA in five games for Cincinnati
    2015— 158 PA in 51 games for Tampa Bay
    2016— 99 PA in 59 games for Milwaukee

    He’s played all nine positions, even pitching an inning for the Astros. This spring, he is in camp with the Blue Jays.

    9) I’ve never seen numbers on this, but I’m thinking the hardest free throw for any player is the first one they take in a game, especially for visiting players.

    First time you shoot with a different background, it can be tough. Someone with a fancy computer should do a study on this, but if I was coaching and we needed to foul late in the game, I’d go after a guy who hadn’t been at the line yet in that game.

    8) Valparaiso tied for first place in Horizon League, but Alec Peters, their best player, has a stress reaction in his leg and is done for the season, which is a huge blow to their chances to win the conference tournament.

    UCLA’s TJ Leaf sprained his ankle Wednesday night; he didn’t return to the game- they haven’t said how bad it is, but Bruins have very little depth, so if he is out for a few weeks, it is bad news.

    7) Boise State’s Nick Duncan is from Australia; apparently he had never seen snow before coming to Boise, so when it snowed his freshman year and it snows a lot in Idaho, he didn’t know what to do. Wish I had never seen snow.

    6) This is probably a coincidence, but DeMarcus Cousins has been suspended for two games this year because he has 18 technical fouls— his teams won both of those games easily.

    5) Odd Stat of the Day: Chicago Bulls have won their last 18 home games that were telecast on TNT.

    4) Canada’s team in the World Baseball Classic has Freddie Freeman, Joey Votto and Justin Morneau, so 1B/DH are spoken for, just not sure what Morneau is going to do.

    3) Basketball teams are Cincinnati, Houston will be displaced next season while their arenas get facelifts. Think I heard one facelift costs $60M, the other $85M.

    Cincinnati will play home games seven miles away next year, in Northern Kentucky’s arena just over the bridge from Cincy.

    2) In a Nationals-Astros game Thursday, umps called a ball a home run that replay showed never left the park- it hit the top of the fence in two different places but stayed in the ballpark.

    It amazes me that there are people who would prefer to have no replay and instead waste time having managers arguing with umpires, which accomplishes nothing. Replay corrects a lot of missed calls and while not a perfect system, is good for the game.

    1— People bet on exhibition baseball and I’ve often wondered why, but thought of a solid angle today that could actually work. I’m probably late with this, but…….

    Teams play their best lineups when they’re televising back to their home markets; for instance, as I type this, the Mets are on SNY and they’re playing their top guys against a rag-tag group of Astros. Syndergaard pitched a couple innings; they put their best foot forward today, as much as they would in a game on March 3rd. No guarantees, but it gives them an edge.

            Inside the Paint - Saturday
            March 4, 2017


            ATS Rankings · Totals (O/U) Report · Betting Projections If you bet the NBA on a regular basis and lean to taking the points, then take a bow because your "Money Train" has arrived. Since Monday, underdogs have gone 21-16 straight up and 27-10 (73%) against the spread in the Association.

            Eight more matchups on tap for Saturday and similar to last night, we’ve got plenty of home underdogs on the slate.

            Game of the Night - L.A. Clippers at Chicago (ABC, 8:30 p.m. ET)


            Even though Los Angeles (36-25 SU, 30-31 ATS) has faced serious injuries this season, it’s fair to say the team has been a major disappointment especially when you look at their talent. Hoping for a deep playoff run is a serious reach and head coach Doc Rivers hasn’t been able to push the right buttons since the All-Star break.

            Los Angeles dropped a 112-101 decision on Friday at Milwaukee and has now lost four of five in the second-half of the season and the lone win came in overtime to a struggling Charlotte squad at home.

            Despite the struggles, the Clippers opened as 1 ½-point road favorites over the Bulls on Saturday.

            Even though they lost to the Bucks last night, L.A. has gone 14-9 SU and 9-14 ATS versus the Eastern Conference but eight of the nine losses came on the road.

            While the Clippers have been struggling, Chicago (31-30 SU, 31-30 ATS) has rediscovered itself with a 5-1 record in its last six games. On Thursday, the Bulls notched an impressive 94-87 win over the Warriors as seven-point home underdogs and that improved their record to 19-12 SU and 16-15 ATS at home this season.

            As an underdog at the United Center, Fred Hoiberg’s team has gone 7-2 both SU and ATS this season with wins coming against quality opponents like the aforementioned Warriors, along with the Cavaliers and Spurs.

            The Clippers have gotten the better of the Bulls recently, winning two straight and seven of the last 10 between the pair. In the first meeting this season on Nov. 19, Los Angeles captured a 102-95 win at the Staples Center but failed to cover as an eight-point favorite.

            Chicago nipped Los Angeles 83-80 last season at home but the Clippers had won and covered their five previous trips to the “Windy City” prior to that setback. The ‘under’ is on a 4-1 run in this series.

            The total opened 212 and the early betting trends show an ‘under’ lean and that shouldn’t be surprising with Chicago’s strong lean to the low side (37-24) this season.

            Something could have to give here knowing the Clippers have been a very strong ‘over’ bet (21-11) away from home this season. Also, the defense for Los Angeles has been a mess lately with the club allowing 116.6 points per game during its recent five-game span.

            East vs. West


            Along with the above matchup, we have two other non-conference games on tap for Saturday, both taking place on the West Coast.

            Charlotte (26-35 SU, 25-33-3 ATS) at Denver (28-33 SU, 32-28-1 ATS)


            As bad as the Hornets (+5) have been in 2017, they’re still receiving respect from the oddsmakers and tonight’s line versus Denver will likely have bettors backing the host. Charlotte started the second-half of the season on the road and its gone 2-3 with victories coming against the Kings and Lakers. They were just run 120-103 at Phoenix on Thursday but the other setbacks both came in overtime.

            Denver is currently in the eighth spot in the West and it enters this game with confidence after ripping the Bulls (125-107) and Bucks (110-98) by double digits on the road earlier this week.

            Charlotte has had trouble on the road (10-22 SU, 13-16-3 ATS) this season and Denver has always been a tough out at the Pepsi Center but this year's mark isn’t exactly great at 16-14 SU and 15-14-1 ATS. Denver swept the regular season series last year versus Charlotte and both games went ‘under’ the number.

            While the Nuggets appear to be a better lean tonight on paper, be aware that the club is just 5-5 at home versus Eastern Conference foes. Total bettors should note that the ‘over’ has gone 8-1-1 in those games and tonight's number is listed as high as 222.

            Hornets forward Frank Kaminsky (shoulder) will miss this game and that hurts an already depleted frontcourt.

            Brooklyn (10-50 SU, 26-32-2 ATS) at Portland (25-25 SU, 24-36 ATS)

            The late-night tip from the Moda Center is setting up to be the “chase” or “press” game and I’m assuming most bettors will play the Trail Blazers (-11 ½) and the ‘over’ (226 ½). This is the first time this season that Portland is laying double digits while Brooklyn is very familiar with that role (2-20 SU, 12-10 ATS).

            Portland notched a solid 114-109 win on Thursday over Oklahoma City as a one-point home ‘dog but it still remains the worst team in the league for bettors. They haven’t covered two straight games since January and as poor as the Nets look in the standings, the club has been competitive under rookie coach Kenny Atkinson.

            This series has been all Portland recently, with the Blazers going 6-1 SU and 5-2 ATS in the last seven encounters versus the Nets. In the first matchup this season, Portland diced up Brooklyn 129-109 as a 4 ½-point road favorite.
