**********

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

13) There is an NFL rule that prohibits NFL officials from visiting Las Vegas during football season. I’m not the smartest guy in America, but I think that rule needs to be deleted.

12) I’m having lunch at a bar Tuesday; guy there is working on his laptop at the bar, talking on the phone- he tells the caller he has to go, he has another call.

Guy puts his phone down, orders another daiquiri and resumes watching the Mets’ game on TV while munching on popcorn. Looked like he has a pretty good job.

11) Sacramento Kings won games by one point on consecutive nights this week, first time their franchise has done that since December 8-9, 1956, when they were the Rochester Royals.

10) In Kings’ win at Staples Center Sunday, they trailed by 18 points with 5:00 left; this was only second time in last 6,748 NBA games where a team was down 18 with 5:00 left and rallied to win the game.

9) Was very busy at Staples Center last weekend; Lakers played there Friday night, Clippers had a game Saturday afternoon, then the NHL’s Kings played there Saturday night. Clippers were back in action Sunday afternoon— busy weekend for the workers in the arena who change things around inside Staples Center, assembling and taking down the basketball floor.

8) Chargers sold out their season tickets at the 30,000-seat soccer stadium they’ll be playing at for the next two years, in Carson. Raiders have already sold out their season tickets for this year in Oakland and have a waiting list for season tickets. Wonder how they’ll draw in Las Vegas.

7) Georgetown fired John Thompson III last week; they’ve apparently already been rebuffed by Mike Brey, Shaka Smart and Ed Cooley, as they try and replace JTIII. I’m thinking the very large shadow of John Thompson II makes this a bad job- they should just hire Patrick Ewing, and see what he can do. At least Ewing would have Big John’s blessing.

6) Oklahoma City 92, Dallas 91— Thunder scored the last 13 points of Monday night’s win.

5) White Sox traded veteran journeyman OF Peter Bourjos to the Rays Tuesday for cash. Bourjos runs fast, is a good defender, but profiles as a 4th outfielder-type.

4) South Carolina is first Final Four team since Cincinnati in 1992 that hadn’t been in the NCAA tournament the previous 10+ years.

3) I’m not a morning person; doorbell rings Tuesday morning and it is Jehovah’s Witnesses- the women take one look at me, one of them hands me a pamphlet and they quickly take a hike. Not sure why people would go door-to-door on a Tuesday; most people have jobs, no?

2) Georgia Tech 76, Cal-Bakersfield 61— Roadrunners made long trip east and laid an egg, going 8-22 on arc after making 30-59 3-pointers in previous three games, all of which were true road games. Tech was +8 (7-15) in turnovers.

1— TCU 68, Central Florida 53— Fran Fraschilla actually asked Joe Lunardi on the air during this game if he would rather lose a play-in game or win the NIT? Seriously? If you make it into the field of 68, your season is judged a hell of a lot better than if you played in the NIT.

TCU vs Georgia Tech for NIT title Thursday; a 4-seed against a 6-seed. Two coaches in the first year at that school.

Armadillo's Write-Up

Wednesday, March 29

CBI
Coastal Carolina scored 1.18 pts/possession in 91-81 home win over Wyoming (77 possessions, fast pace). Wyoming was 13-34 on arc but took only 29 2-point shots; if teams play this fast a pace in Laramie tonite, can Chanticleers handle it? Coastal was +12 on boards in this game; they played three starters 31:00+ Monday, used 8 guys double figure minutes. Wyoming lost big man Moemeka to an injury six minutes in; they played five guys between 29-31:00. Coastal lost five of last seven true road games, with wins at Little Rock/So Alabama. Cowboys are 5-6 in last 11 games but won last five home games- their last home loss was to Colorado State Feb 14.

CIT semi-finals
UMBC is 0-9 vs teams ranked in top 200; they’ve won their last five home games, are #159 experience team playing pace #53. A&M-Corpus Christi tied for 2nd in Southland, lost tourney final in OT; Islanders are #116 team playing pace #155- they’ve won 14 of last 16 games.

Furman’s coach has already bolted to Drake; they’ve got an interim coach here. Paladins tied for first in SoCon, then got beat in first round of SoCon tourney- they lost by 6 points, at both Georgia/Michigan, so they’re got some talent- this is first time since ’11 they won 20+ games. Furman is #155 experience team that plays pace #280- they’re 15-3 in their last 18 games.
