Saturday’s 6-pack

Longshot Super Bowl exacta odds: winner listed first

1,250-1— Titans over Panthers

1,000-1— Falcons over Titans, Falcons over Bills

800-1— Bills over Falcons

600-1— Eagles over Titans, Eagles over Bills

500-1— Rams over Titans, Rams over Bills

250-1— Jaguars over Panthers

*************************

Saturday’s List of 13: Random stuff with weekend here……

13) Did some research today: as far as NFL teams meeting for third time in season in playoffs; in Super Bowl era, the home team is 34-25 in the third meeting. Teams that swept first 2 meetings are 11-5 in third meeting.

Carolina lost to the Saints twice this year, so they fit this scenario Sunday.

12) Jon Gruden is going to get a 10-year, $100M contract to coach the Oakland/Las Vegas Raiders, which seems excessive, but now ESPN needs to come up with someone to replace Gruden interviewing college QB prospects before the NFL Draft, because that was some of their best programming.

College basketball notes from last few days:
11) Western Kentucky’s 4-star recruit Josh Anderson became eligible this week, and will play at Marshall Saturday. Anderson is an athletic defender at guard who gives the Hilltoppers needed depth- they used seven players in their last three games.

10) North Texas won two of its first three games in C-USA; the three games were decided by total of four points.

9) Stanford 107, UCLA 99 2OT— Bruins went 19-35 on foul line in this double OT game, a game Bruins led by 13 with 9:31 to play. Six players fouled out of this game, three on each side.

8) Over last seven years, Big West has put seven different teams into the NCAA tournament; in these one-bid leagues, all that really matters in the conference tournament in March, not sure if thats a good thing, but it is what it is.

7) Best college basketball studio show is on FS1, with Steve Lavin/Jim Jackson analyzing games and Rob Stone. Good banter where you can learn stuff, and laugh at same time.

6) Mike Dunleavy Sr has coached 1,329 NBA games; quite a coup for Tulane to hire him as their basketball coach. Green Wave was 33-63 the last three years, 6-25 in Dunleavy’s first season last year, but they’re 11-4 this year, and 2-1 in the AAC with wins over Temple/SMU.

Big improvement for Tulane, who last finished over .500 in conference 11 years ago.

5) Cal Poly 80, Cal-Santa Barbara 79 OT— Gauchos led this game 23-2 on road Thursday nite, but let it slip away down the stretch. Not too many teams that are down 21 come back to win.

4) Colorado 90, Arizona State 81 OT— Sun Devils were unbeaten, ranked #4 in country, but now they’re 0-2 in Pac-12, after losing to Arizona/Colorado. ASU was 9-33 on arc in this game, was +7 in turnovers. Conference play is tough, much more competitive.

3) UNLV 82, San Jose State 76 OT— UNLV coaches dodged a bullet here; down a point with 0:16 left, Rebels called timeout, but star player McCoy didn’t check in quick enough during the timeout, so he had to stay on the bench, and since UNLV was out of timeouts, they played the most important possession of the game without their best player. No bueno.

UNLV tied the game, McCoy came back in and played the OT, and the Rebels survived to win a game that would’ve been a hideous loss. San Jose State is rebuilding- there was almost no one there— there had been a power outage on campus during the day. UNLV did its walk-thru in a mostly dark gym— seriously. TV announcer Drew Goodman filmed part of it with his phone.

2) Tennessee State 67, Jacksonville State 60— Gamecocks were 0-3 on foul line for the game; you don’t see that a lot- they were 10-24 on the arc. Tennessee State was 15-15 on the line; they shot 61% inside the arc. JSU may have been looking ahead to its game with Belmont Saturday.

1) Texas A&M scored 61.5 ppg in losing its first two SEC games, after an 11-1 start to their season, but think they get leading scorer Hogg back from suspension for their home game with LSU today. Hogg was 5th (and hopefully last) Aggie to be suspended this season- they just got couple guys back from knee injuries- they’re very good if they can just get back to full strength.

Duke at N.C. State
January 5, 2018

**Duke at North Carolina State**

-- These old-school ACC adversaries will square off Saturday night in Raleigh at 8:00 p.m. Eastern on ESPN.

-- Duke (13-1 straight up, 8-4 against the spread) is No. 1 in the RPI Rankings, No. 5 at KenPom.com and No. 2 in the Associated Press’s poll. The Blue Devils are 2-0 against the RPI Top 50 and 9-1 versus the Top 100. They took their lone defeat on Dec. 9 at Boston College by an 89-84 count.

-- Duke owns neutral-court wins over Michigan State (88-81), Portland State (99-81), Texas (85-78) and Florida (87-84). Mike Krzyzewski’s club has quality home wins over FSU (100-93), South Dakota (96-80), Furman (92-63), Elon (97-68) and Utah Valley (97-68). Don’t think those mid-and-low-major teams are quality wins? I hear that, but South Dakota (#82 RPI), Elon (#68), Furman (#96) and Utah Valley (#79) are all currently Top-100 RPI squads.

-- Duke has won back-to-back home games over Evansville (104-40) and FSU since the loss at BC. The Seminoles led 49-45 at intermission at Cameron Indoor Stadium this past Saturday. Coach K’s team outscored FSU 55-44 in the second half to win by seven, but it failed to cover the spread as an 11.5-point home favorite. All five Duke starters scored in double figures led by freshman center Marvin Bagley III, who exploded for 32 points and 21 rebounds on 13-of-17 shooting from the field. Grayson Allen added 22 points and six assists compared to just two turnovers, while Wendell Carter Jr. also had a double-double with 14 points, 16 boards, four assists and four blocked shots. Trevon Dural contributed 16 points and four assists with only one turnover.

-- Duke is 1-1 both SU and ATS in a pair of true road assignments. In addition to the loss at BC, the Blue Devils went to Assembly Hall in Bloomington and captured a 91-81 as 8.5-point road ‘chalk.’ They didn’t get ahead of the number for the first time until going up 86-77 with 2:24 remaining. Bagley’s 23 points and 10 rebounds were the difference at IU.

-- Bagley is a candidate for National Player of the Year honors. He leads the ACC in scoring (21.9 points per game) and rebounding (11.6 RPG). Dural (12.0 PPG) paces the ACC in assists (6.6 APG) and is fourth in the league in steals (1.9 SPG), but his shooting percentages from both downtown (15.8%) and free-throw line (62.2%) are dismal. Allen, the senior who played a key role in Duke’s last national title in 2015 when he was a freshman, has matured this season and hasn’t been involved in any drama. He’s averaging 17.4 PPG, is draining 43.6 percent of his launches from long distance and has a stellar 62/22 assists-to-turnovers ratio. Carter is averaging 13.7 points, 8.9 rebounds and 2.0 blocked shots per game.

-- Duke is No. 2 in the nation in scoring offense with a 94.6 points-per-game average. The Blue Devils are ninth in the country in field-goal percentage (51.3%).

-- North Carolina State (10-5 SU, 3-5 ATS) is in its first season under head coach Kevin Keatts who went 72-28 overall and 41-13 in Colonial play during his three-year tenure at UNC-Wilmington, which saw the school go to a pair of NCAA Tournaments for the first time in a decade. Keatts, a former assistant under Rick Pitino at Louisville, won Coach of the Year honors in the CAA twice. The 45-year-old replaced Mark Gottfried, who took the Wolfpack to four straight NCAA Tournaments to start his six-year tenure before falling on hard times and going 31-34 in his final two seasons.

-- N.C. State will play its ACC home opener in this spot after getting smashed in a pair of road assignments to start league play. This past Saturday at Clemson, the Tigers thumped N.C. State by a 78-62 count as 10-point home ‘chalk.’ Then on Wednesday night in South Bend, where Notre Dame was playing its first game without star senior center Bonzie Colson, the Fighting Irish blasted the Wolfpack 88-58 as a 6.5-point home favorite at the Joyce Center. Allerik Freeman, a grad transfer from Baylor, had a team-best 13 points, four assists and four rebounds in the losing effort, but he committed five turnovers made only 5-of-16 attempts from the floor. Lennard Freeman was also in double figures with 10 points.

-- N.C. State has won nine of its 10 home games, but it’s clearly faced mostly cupcakes since only three of those contests were lined. The Wolfpack went 2-1 ATS in those matchups, beating Penn State 85-78 on Nov. 29 in the only spot as a home underdog (+2.5).

-- N.C. State’s only home loss came to NC-Greensboro by an 81-76 count as an 8.5-point home favorite. Allerik Freeman had 17 points, five rebounds, four assists and two steals in defeat, while Lennard Freeman and Braxton Beverly scored 16 points apiece.Lennard Freeman pulled down a team-best seven rebounds, while Beverly had eight assists compared to just one turnover.

-- N.C. State is No. 91 at KenPom and No. 129 in the RPI. The Wolfpack is 1-2 versus the RPI Top 50 and 1-4 against the Top 100. Keatts’s club captured its best win over Arizona by a 90-84 score on Nov. 22 at the Battle 4 Atlantis. They lost their two other games in the Bahamas to No. Iowa (60-54) and Tennessee (67-58).

-- Allerik Freeman is averaging 15.3 points, 4.8 rebounds, 2.7 assists and 1.5 steals per game. Torin Dorn, a junior guard, is averaging 13.2 points and 7.6 RPG, while Lennard Freeman is averaging 11.6 PPG.

-- Markell Johnson, a sophomore guard out of Cleveland’s East Tech High School, is averaging 8.7 points, 6.6 assists and 2.4 steals per game. However, he’s missed five straight games and remains out due to an indefinite suspension for a violation of the school’s Student-Athlete Code of Conduct.

-- The ‘over’ is 5-3 overall for N.C. St., 3-0 in its home games.

-- Duke has won four of the past five against N.C. St., but the Wolfpack have covered the number in three consecutive meetings and won outright on last season’s lone encounter. Gottfried’s team went into Durham as a 16.5-point underdog and won 84-82 on Jan. 23 of 2017. Dennis Smith Jr., who was a one-and-done player who is enjoying an excellent rookie campaign in The Association, was the catalyst against the Blue Devils with 22 points, six assists, four rebounds and a pair of steals. Duke’s Allen was held to 13 points and made just 1-of-9 shots from long distance.

-- The ‘over’ has hit at a remarkable 11-1 overall clip for the Blue Devils, 2-0 in their road games. The ‘over’ cashed in their first 10 lined games until the 144 combined points slithered ‘under’ the 146.5 points.

-- The ‘over’ has been a winner in nine straight games of this rivalry that were played in Raleigh. The ‘over’ is 20-5-1 in the past 26 head-to-head encounters (regardless of the venue).

-- The ‘over’ is 14-3 in Duke’s past 17 road games. Also, the ‘over’ is on a 42-20 run in N.C. St.’s last 62 home contests.

**B.E.’s Bonus Nuggets**

-- La Salle star B.J. Johnson is ‘questionable’ for Saturday’s home game vs. VCU with an ankle injury. Johnson, the local grown Philly product who started his career at Syracuse, is averaging 21.8 points and 9.1 rebounds and 1.3 steals per game, has missed three consecutive contests. The Explorers (7-8 SU, 6-8 ATS) are 1-2 SU and 1-1 ATS without him.

-- After serving a three-game suspension for a violation of team rules, Texas A&M star D.J. Hogg will return for Saturday’s home game vs. LSU. Hogg is averaging 14.6 points and 6.8 RPG while shooting at a 50.0 percent clip from 3-point range. The Aggies were without three of their top four leading scorers in Tuesday’s 83-66 home loss to Florida. Duane Wilson sat out the loss to UF with a knee injury and is ‘questionable’ vs. the Tigers. The grad transfer from Marquette is averaging 12.1 PPG and has dished out a team-best 58 assists compared to 33 turnovers. Meanwhile, Admon Gilder (12.7 PPG, 5.3 RPG & 3.7 APG) has been out since mid-December with a knee injury and may not return for another week or so.

-- The ‘under’ is 9-1 overall for Pitt. The Panthers play Saturday at Virginia Tech, which has seen back-to-back ‘unders’ after the ‘over’ went 7-2 in its first nine lined outings. Kevin Stallings’s team remains without Ryan Luther, who is out indefinitely with a foot injury sustained in mid-December. Luther was averaging 12.7 points, 10.1 rebounds, 2.8 assists and 1.6 steals per game through his team’s first 10 contests.

-- Wake Forest guard Keyshawn Woods is ‘doubtful’ at Wake Forest with a knee injury. Woods is averaging 14.8 PPG for the Demon Deacons, who are 7-2 SU in their past nine games and 5-2-1 ATS in their last eight lined contests.

-- Harvard’s Bryce Aiken has missed three consecutive games with a knee injury and is ‘questionable’ vs. Dartmouth on Saturday. Aiken averages 17.6 points and 3.3 APG.

-- Already without its best player Bonzie Colson until at least late February, now Mike Brey’s Notre Dame will be without its second-best player against Syracuse. Senior point guard Matt Farrell is averaging 15.9 points, 5.1 assists and 1.3 steals per game.

Armadillo: Saturday's six-pack

Longshot Super Bowl exacta odds: winner listed first

1,250-1— Titans over Panthers

1,000-1— Falcons over Titans, Falcons over Bills

800-1— Bills over Falcons

600-1— Eagles over Titans, Eagles over Bills

500-1— Rams over Titans, Rams over Bills

250-1— Jaguars over Panthers

**********

Armadillo: Saturday's List of 13: Random stuff with weekend here……

13) Did some research today: as far as NFL teams meeting for third time in season in playoffs; in Super Bowl era, the home team is 34-25 in the third meeting. Teams that swept first 2 meetings are 11-5 in third meeting.

Carolina lost to the Saints twice this year, so they fit this scenario Sunday.

12) Jon Gruden is going to get a 10-year, $100M contract to coach the Oakland/Las Vegas Raiders, which seems excessive, but now ESPN needs to come up with someone to replace Gruden interviewing college QB prospects before the NFL Draft, because that was some of their best programming.

College basketball notes from last few days:
11) Western Kentucky’s 4-star recruit Josh Anderson became eligible this week, and will play at Marshall Saturday. Anderson is an athletic defender at guard who gives the Hilltoppers needed depth- they used seven players in their last three games.

10) North Texas won two of its first three games in C-USA; the three games were decided by total of four points.

9) Stanford 107, UCLA 99 2OT— Bruins went 19-35 on foul line in this double OT game, a game Bruins led by 13 with 9:31 to play. Six players fouled out of this game, three on each side.

8) Over last seven years, Big West has put seven different teams into the NCAA tournament; in these one-bid leagues, all that really matters in the conference tournament in March, not sure if thats a good thing, but it is what it is.

7) Best college basketball studio show is on FS1, with Steve Lavin/Jim Jackson analyzing games and Rob Stone. Good banter where you can learn stuff, and laugh at same time.

6) Mike Dunleavy Sr has coached 1,329 NBA games; quite a coup for Tulane to hire him as their basketball coach. Green Wave was 33-63 the last three years, 6-25 in Dunleavy’s first season last year, but they’re 11-4 this year, and 2-1 in the AAC with wins over Temple/SMU.

Big improvement for Tulane, who last finished over .500 in conference 11 years ago.

5) Cal Poly 80, Cal-Santa Barbara 79 OT— Gauchos led this game 23-2 on road Thursday nite, but let it slip away down the stretch. Not too many teams that are down 21 come back to win.

4) Colorado 90, Arizona State 81 OT— Sun Devils were unbeaten, ranked #4 in country, but now they’re 0-2 in Pac-12, after losing to Arizona/Colorado. ASU was 9-33 on arc in this game, was +7 in turnovers. Conference play is tough, much more competitive.

3) UNLV 82, San Jose State 76 OT— UNLV coaches dodged a bullet here; down a point with 0:16 left, Rebels called timeout, but star player McCoy didn’t check in quick enough during the timeout, so he had to stay on the bench, and since UNLV was out of timeouts, they played the most important possession of the game without their best player. No bueno.

UNLV tied the game, McCoy came back in and played the OT, and the Rebels survived to win a game that would’ve been a hideous loss. San Jose State is rebuilding- there was almost no one there— there had been a power outage on campus during the day. UNLV did its walk-thru in a mostly dark gym— seriously. TV announcer Drew Goodman filmed part of it with his phone.

2) Tennessee State 67, Jacksonville State 60— Gamecocks were 0-3 on foul line for the game; you don’t see that a lot- they were 10-24 on the arc. Tennessee State was 15-15 on the line; they shot 61% inside the arc. JSU may have been looking ahead to its game with Belmont Saturday.

1) Texas A&M scored 61.5 ppg in losing its first two SEC games, after an 11-1 start to their season, but think they get leading scorer Hogg back from suspension for their home game with LSU today. Hogg was 5th (and hopefully last) Aggie to be suspended this season- they just got couple guys back from knee injuries- they’re very good if they can just get back to full strength.

January 6, 2018

RALEIGH, N.C. (AP) Omer Yurtseven had 16 points while Torin Dorn hit two huge 3-pointers in the final 2 minutes to help North Carolina State upset No. 2 Duke 96-85 on Saturday night.

It was the second win against a No. 2-ranked team this season for N.C. State (11-5, 1-2 Atlantic Coast Conference), which upset Arizona in November.

The Wolfpack shot 55 percent after halftime, though the two biggest shots came from Dorn.

He first hit a 3 from the corner over an oncoming Marvin Bagley III with 2:02 left and N.C. State protecting a four-point lead. Then Dorn hit one to beat the shot clock on an inbounds pass while being fouled by Javin DeLaurier, a four-point play that pushed the Wolfpack to a 91-80 lead with 1:06 left.

Bagley finished with 31 points and 10 rebounds for the Blue Devils (13-2, 1-2).

No. 3 VILLANOVA 100, MARQUETTE 90

PHILADELPHIA (AP) - Jalen Brunson had 27 points and eight assists and Villanova bounced back from its first loss of the season.

Eric Paschall added 19 points and Mikal Bridges had 18 points and seven rebounds for the Wildcats (14-1, 2-1 Big East), who never trailed and shot 56 percent from the field to give coach Jay Wright his 400th win at Villanova.

With a week to stew over a 101-93 loss at Butler, the Wildcats were efficient, hitting 27 of 32 free throws and getting assists on 20 of 32 baskets.

Markus Howard had 37 points and eight assists for Marquette (11-5, 2-2), three nights after scoring a Big East record-tying 52 points in an overtime win at Providence.

PROVIDENCE 81, No. 5 XAVIER 72

PROVIDENCE, R.I. (AP) - Kyron Cartwright had 19 points, nine assists and four steals to help Providence snapping Xavier's 10-game winning streak and ending the best start in school history.

Rodney Bullock scored 17 points, with six rebounds and two blocked shots, as Providence (11-6, 2-2 Big East) beat a ranked team for the first time this season. It was the Friars' 11th win over a top-5 team, and their first since beating No. 4 Villanova two years ago.

Kerem Kanter had 24 points and 12 rebounds - eight on the offensive boards - in 20 minutes for Xavier (15-2, 3-1).

No. 6 WEST VIRGINIA 89, No. 7 OKLAHOMA 76

MORGANTOWN, W.Va. (AP) - Teddy Allen scored 20 points off the bench and Sagaba Konate had 14 of his 16 points in the second half for West Virginia.

Lamont West and Jevon Carter added 17 points apiece for the Mountaineers (14-1, 3-0 Big 12). Konate also had 13 rebounds.

Oklahoma freshman Trae Young, the nation's scoring and assists leader, finished with 29 points on 8-of-22 shooting. Carter and his teammates spent much of the game double-teaming Young, whose streak of double-doubles ended at five games.

West Virginia held the nation's top-scoring team to its lowest total of the season while the Mountaineers extended their winning streak to 14 games, their longest since winning 22 straight during the 1988-89 season. Oklahoma (12-2, 2-1) saw its 10-game winning streak snapped.

No. 8 VIRGINIA 61, No. 12 NORTH CAROLINA 49

CHARLOTTESVILLE, Va. (AP) - Devon Hall scored 16 points and Virginia held North Carolina to its second-lowest point total of the season.

Hall had seven assists for Virginia (14-1, 3-0 Atlantic Coast Conference), and De'Andre Hunter had 10 points and seven rebounds. The Cavaliers won their sixth in a row and sent the Tar Heels to consecutive losses for the first time since February 2016. North Carolina lost 81-80 at Florida State on Wednesday night.

Joel Berry II led North Carolina (12-4, 1-2) with 17 points and Kenny Williams had 11.

No. 10 KANSAS 88, No. 16 TCU

FORT WORTH, Texas (AP) - Devonte Graham scored 28 points with eight straight free throws in the final 2:02 as Kansas held on.

Vladimir Brodziansky had eight straight points for TCU to tie the game at 77-all before Marcus Garrett's two tiebreaking free throws put the Jayhawks ahead to stay with 3 minutes left. Graham then made all of his free throws down the stretch for the Jayhawks (12-3, 2-1 Big 12).

Svi Mykhailiuk added 20 points for Kansas, which was coming off a home loss to Texas Tech and avoided its first 1-2 conference mark since 1990-91.

Brodziansky led TCU (13-2, 1-2) with 20 points.

LSU 69, No. 11 TEXAS A&M 68

COLLEGE STATION, Texas (AP) - Tremont Waters scored 21 points, including an off-balance 3-pointer with 1 second remaining, to lift LSU.

The game was tied before the Aggies used an 8-3 run, capped by four points from Tyler Davis, to take a 68-63 lead. But Waters, who finished with five 3s, made a 3-pointer for LSU to get the Tigers (10-4, 1-1 Southeastern Conference) within three with 12 seconds left.

Davis missed two free throws on the other end before Waters launched his winner under heavy defensive pressure to give the Tigers the win.

Leading scorer D.J. Hogg returned for the Aggies (11-4, 0-3) after a suspension, but it wasn't enough to stop them from dropping their third straight after lopsided losses to Alabama and Florida.

Davis led the Aggies with 19 points and 12 rebounds.

No. 13 PURDUE 74, NEBRASKA 62

WEST LAFAYETTE, Ind. (AP) - Vincent Edwards scored 21 points and Isaac Haas added 14 to lead Purdue to its 11th consecutive win.

The Boilermakers (15-2, 4-0 Big Ten) extended their home-court winning streak to 18 and won their 10th straight home game against a conference foe.

James Palmer Jr. finished with 22 points and Isaac Copeland had 16 to lead the Cornhuskers (11-6, 2-2), whose four-game winning streak ended.

COLORADO 80, No. 14 ARIZONA 77

BOULDER, Colo. (AP) - McKinley Wright IV scored 16 points to lead five Colorado players in double figures as the Buffaloes ended Arizona's nine-game winning streak.

It's the second straight game in which the Buffaloes (10-6, 2-2 Pac-12) have knocked off a ranked team. They defeated No. 4 Arizona State 90-81 in overtime Thursday.

Colorado went up by 20 in the first half only to see the Wildcats (12-4, 2-1) pull within three.

Dallas Walton finished with a career-high 15 points on 7-for-7 shooting as the Buffaloes overcame 13 turnovers in the second half.

Deandre Ayton scored 21 of his 26 points in the second half for Arizona.

No. 23 TENNESSEE 76, No. 17 KENTUCKY 65

KNOXVILLE, Tenn. (AP) - Admiral Schofield had 20 points and nine rebounds and Tennessee rallied in the second half to end a two-game skid.

This marks the third consecutive season that Tennessee (10-4, 1-2 SEC) has beaten Kentucky (12-3, 2-1) in Knoxville. Kentucky entered the night leading the overall series 153-69, but no team has beaten the Wildcats as often as Tennessee.

Grant Williams scored 16 of his 18 points in the second half as Tennessee erased an eight-point halftime deficit.

Quade Green scored 14 points to lead Kentucky.

No. 18 TEXAS TECH 74, KANSAS STATE 58

LUBBOCK, Texas (AP) - Keenan Evans scored 27 points and Texas Tech backed up its big win at Kansas earlier in the week.

The Red Raiders (14-1, 3-0 Big 12) led throughout against K-State, like they have in all of their conference games. That includes that 85-73 win at Allen Fieldhouse four days earlier, the only time they have ever won there.

By shooting 70 percent in the first half, the Red Raiders jumped out to a 20-4 lead and settled for a 40-22 advantage at the break.

Dean Wade had eight points for K-State (11-4, 1-2) in a 16-8 spurt to get within 48-40 with just under 12 minutes left.

Barry Brown led Kansas State with 24 points.

No. 19 GONZAGA 85, LOYOLA MARYMOUNT 66

LOS ANGELES (AP) - Johnathan Williams scored 30 points and Gonzaga opened the second half with a 17-0 run.

The Bulldogs (14-3, 4-0 WCC) received 12 points from Zach Norvell Jr. and Josh Perkins, and another 11 from Rui Hachimura.

Williams connected on 13 of 18 shots, and added 10 rebounds.

Steve Haney led Loyola (5-10, 0-4) with 22 points.

No. 21 SETONHALL 90, BUTLER 87

INDIANAPOLIS (AP) - Khadeen Carrington scored 29 points and Angel Delgado had 28 points and 15 rebounds as Seton Hall rallied from an 11-point deficit to win its fifth straight game.

With 1:08 left in the game, Carrington pushed the ball up the floor and drove the lane for the go-ahead basket to make it 84-82. Seton Hall (14-2, 3-0 Big East) sealed the win at the foul line during the final 10 seconds of the game.

Kelan Martin finished with 27 points for Butler (12-5, 2-2).

AUBURN 88, No. 22 ARKANSAS 77

AUBURN, Ala. (AP) - Mustapha Heron scored 17 points and Auburn fended off a late comeback attempt to secure its 12th consecutive win.

Saturday's decision, coupled with Tuesday's win at No. 23 Tennessee, marks the first time in 11 years that Auburn has won consecutive games against ranked opponents. The last time it happened was 2007, when the Tigers beat No. 22 Tennessee and No. 12 Alabama in a span of six days.

Auburn (14-1, 2-0 Southeastern Conference) hit 12 of its first 18 shots as it opened the game on a 29-18 run.

Jaylen Bradford scored 21 to lead the Razorbacks (11-4, 1-2).

No. 25 CLEMSON 74, LOUISVILLE 69 OT

CLEMSON, S.C. (AP) - Marcquise Reed scored 24 points and Elijah Thomas had 12 points, 10 rebounds and five blocks to lead Clemson.

The Tigers (14-1, 3-0 ACC) found their 3-point shot when it mattered, making five of their final seven shots behind the arc after starting the game 2 of 17 on 3s.

Clemson stayed in the game by forcing a season-worst 21 turnovers by the Cardinals - 15 on steals - and won it by hitting nine of 12 free throws at the end of overtime.

Ray Spaulding led Louisville (11-4, 1-1) with 16 points and 14 rebounds.

Sunday's Tip Sheet
January 6, 2018

The first Sunday of the New Year offers a full slate of college basketball betting action highlighted by a trio of night games featuring some of the best teams in the ACC, American Athletic and Pac-12 conferences. Everything gets underway at 6 p.m. (ET) with the first of two matchups on ESPNU.

No. 24 Florida State Seminoles at No. 15 Miami Hurricanes (ESPNU, 6 p.m. ET)

Opening Odds: Miami -3.5

Betting Matchup

Florida State kicked off play in the ACC with a tight 100-93 loss to Duke on Dec. 30 as an 11 ½-point road underdog and it earned a PUSH in Wednesday’s big 81-80 victory at home against North Carolina as a one-point favorite. This will be the Seminoles third-straight game against a ranked opponent in conference play with Louisville next up on the slate. They are 12-2 straight-up on the year with a 9-2-1 record against the spread. Florida has covered in its first three road games this year.

The Hurricanes made their way up the national polls with a SU 12-1 run through their first 13 games including a 67-53 victory against Pittsburgh in their ACC opener as 12 ½-point road favorites to close out the year. However, things did not go their way on Wednesday night in a stunning 64-54 loss to unranked Georgia Tech as five-point road favorites. Miami (7-5 ATS) had no answer for the Yellow Jackets’ Josh Okogie, who burned its vaunted defense for 30 points.

Betting Trends

-- The Seminoles are 10-1 ATS in their last 11 Sunday games and they are 8-1 ATS in their last nine games following a SU win. The total has stayed UNDER or ended as a PUSH in six of their last seven conference games.

-- The Hurricanes have gone 6-14 ATS in their last 20 home games and they are 7-20-1 ATS in their last 28 games coming off a SU loss. The total has stayed UNDER or ended as a PUSH in six of their last seven Sunday games.

-- The underdog in this ACC clash is 6-2-1 ATS in the last nine meetings and the total has stayed UNDER in four of the last five meetings in Miami.

SMU Mustangs at No. 19 Cincinnati Bearcats (ESPN2, 6 p.m. ET)

Opening Odds: Cincinnati -7.5

Betting Matchup

SMU knocked off Central Florida and South Florida at home to begin AAC play as part of a straight-up five-game winning streak to close out 2017, but in its first game of the New Year on Thursday night it came up short in a 73-70 road loss to Tulane as nine-point favorites. The Mustangs are now 12-4 SU with an even 5-5-1 record against the spread. The total has gone OVER in three of their last five games. This was the just the second time SMU allowed more than 69 points this season.

Cincinnati has established itself as the early frontrunner in the AAC along with Wichita State at 13-2 SU and it opened conference play with victories against Memphis at home and Temple on the road. The Bearcats had their hands full with the Owls in Thursday’s 55-53 squeaker with Jacob Evans III hitting the game winner with less than a second to play. Cincinnati failed to cover as a 7 ½-point favorite against Temple to fall to an even 7-7 ATS. The total has stayed UNDER in nine of those 14 games.

Betting Trends

-- The Mustangs are 5-2-1 ATS in their last eight games following a SU loss and they have gone 5-0-1 ATS in their last six games on Sunday. The total has gone OVER or ended as a PUSH in nine of their last 11 conference games.

-- The Bearcats have gone 5-2 ATS in their last home seven games against a team with a SU losing record on the road and they have gone 9-3 ATS in their last 12 home games overall. The total has stayed UNDER in seven of their last nine games following a SU win.

-- The home team has won eight of the last nine meetings SU with SMU holding a 3-0 edge ATS in the last three games. The total has stayed UNDER or ended as a PUSH in six of the nine games.

No. 4 Arizona State Sun Devils at Utah Utes (ESPNU, 8 p.m. ET)

Opening Odds: Arizona State -2.5

Betting Matchup

Arizona State’s perfect 12-0 SU run through nonconference play while going a profitable 9-2-1 ATS has been severely tainted with back-to-back road losses to Arizona and Colorado to begin play in the Pac-12. The Sun Devils closed as six-point underdogs in an 84-78 loss to the rival Wildcats in a PUSH and they went on to lose to the Rams on Thursday night by nine points in overtime as nine-point favorites. Arizona State is the sixth-highest scoring team in the nation with 90.0 points per game, but it is allowing an average of 73.9 points on defense.

Utah (10-4 SU, 7-5 ATS) started conference play with back-to-back road victories against Oregon as a 9 ½-point underdog and Oregon State in a game that closed as a PICK. On Thursday night at home, the Utes had no answer for Arizona in a 94-82 loss as 3 ½-point underdogs. The total went OVER 142 points in that game after staying UNDER in their previous five outings. Utah runs five deep in players putting up at least 10 points a game as part of its 76.1-point scoring average.

Betting Trends

-- The Sun Devils have gone 12-3-1 ATS in their last 16 games coming off a SU loss and they are 6-1-1 ATS in their last eight games against a SU winning team. The total has gone OVER or ended as a PUSH in six of their last seven Sunday games.

-- The Utes are 5-2 ATS in their last seven home games and the total has gone OVER in three of their last five home games against a team with a SU losing record on the road. The total has stayed UNDER or ended as a PUSH in nine of their last 10 games on Sunday.

-- Head-to-head in this Pac-12 tilt, the favorite has covered in the last five meetings and the total has stayed UNDER in four of the last five meetings in Utah.

Armadillo: Sunday's six-pack

Odds to win the 2018 Masters:

15-2— Jordan Spieth

10-1— Dustin Johnson

12-1— Rory McIlroy

15-1— Thomas, Fowler, Woods

18-1— Day, Rahm, Rose

25-1— Koepka, Matsuyama

**********

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

13) Titans 22, Chiefs 21— Kansas City is first NFL team to lose a playoff game after leading by 18+ points at halftime- they’re 1-11 in their last 12 playoff games, losing last six home playoff tilts. QB Alex Smith will likely be elsewhere next season.

12) Falcons 26, Rams 13— Any NFL team that is -2 or worse in turnovers stands less than a 20% chance of winning that game; against playoff-caliber teams, a lot lower %age. Rams turned ball over twice on special teams, had zero takeaways— cannot win that way.

11) Colorado 80, Arizona 77— On Selection Sunday the Buffaloes could be leaning heavily on this week, when they upset Arizona and ASU in Boulder. Colorado led here by 16 at the half- they start three freshmen. PG Wright had 16 points, 10 assists, 7 turnovers.

Quote of the Day, part 2, from Arizona coach Sean Miller:
“You always want your team to play for you as the coach, and our guys, they really struggle playing for me — they really do. I can’t get them to play hard. We do it for a while. I know we’ve had a win streak and we also have a good team. We have a lot of talent. With our team, it’s really hard to get our guys to run as fast as they can. That’s not them. That’s me. I have a hard time reaching our guys. I can’t reach them, I really can’t.”

That doesn’t sound good.

10) Florida 77, Missouri 75— Mizzou was up a hoop when they fouled a Florida 3-point shooter with 0:21 left- the kid made 2 of 3 shots, tying the game. Mizzou then held for last shot, but a casual pass on the wing was stolen by Chiozza and he beat the buzzer with a walk-off layup, an awful loss for the homestanding Tigers.

9) NC State 96, Duke 85— Kevin Keatts gets his first ACC win in Wolfpack’s ACC home opener; all five State starters scored in double figures. Wolfpack bench outscored Duke’s 25-4.

Virginia 61, North Carolina 49— Tar Heels shot 25.8% inside arc, turned ball over 19 times (-8); they lost 53-43 here LY, and then won the national title five weeks later.

8) Bad Beat of the Night: Iowa State (+7.5) lost by 9 at Oklahoma State, 96-87 in overtime.

7) West Virginia 89, Oklahoma 76– Trae Young scored 28, but no other Sooner had more than 12– Young had 8 turnovers, only 5 assists.

6) Providence 81, Xavier 72— Friars even their Big East mark at 2-2; they were crushed 44-28 on boards, but Xavier was just 5-18 on arc.

5) LSU 69, Texas A&M 68- Kid on LSU nailed a 30-footer for the walk-off road win for Bayou Bengals, who are 10-4. Texas Aggies were 11-1, looked like best team in country in November, but thanks to injuries, suspensions, are now 0-3 in the SEC.

4) Tennessee 76, Kentucky 65— Wildcats were up 37-29 at half, but lost for 4th time in last five visits to Knoxville. Volunteers get their first win in three SEC games.

3) Wyoming 79, Boise State 78 OT— Broncos were up 16 at halftime, lose in OT, their first loss in four Mountain West games. Wyoming is 11-5 now.

2) Western Kentucky 112, Marshall 87— Freshman Anderson scored 16 points in 19:00 off the bench in his first college game after becoming eligible Friday.

1) Jacksonville State 64, Belmont 60— Upset in the Ohio Valley Conference; Murray State/Austin Peay are tied for first now.
