      • Thursday’s 6-pack

        Odds to win the Super Bowl next season:

        100-1— Bears, Jets, Browns

        80-1— Bengals, Bills, Dolphins, Redskins, Giants, Cardinals

        60-1— Lions, Buccaneers

        40-1— Colts, Titans, Ravens

        30-1— Panthers

        25-1— Chiefs, Chargers, 49ers, Seahawks

        Quote of the Day (apparently this is Steve Kerr quote week)

        “Nothing has been done. It doesn’t seem to matter to our government that children are being shot to death day after day in schools. It doesn’t matter that people are being shot at a concert, in a movie theater. It’s not enough, apparently, to move our leadership, our government, people that are running this country, to actually do anything. That’s demoralizing.”
        Steve Kerr, whose father was assassinated in Lebanon in 1984

        Thursday’s quiz

        If you drive straight north from New York City thru upstate New York until you get to Canada, which Canadian province would you be in when you get there?

        Wednesday’s quiz

        Nets, Pacers, Spurs, Nuggets are the four NBA teams used to play in the ABA.

        Tuesday’s quiz

        Salem is the capital of Oregon.


        Thursday’s List of 13: Doing some thinking out loud…….

        13) 17 innocent people died Wednesday in Florida, in a school shooting. In this country so far in 2018, there have been 18 school shootings in 35 school days; something needs to be done about crazy people having assault rifles, which is what this lunatic had.

        12) 50 years ago Wednesday was the first NBA game in the new Madison Square Garden in NYC; Knicks beat the San Diego Rockets 114-102. San Diego had a sub named Pat Riley who scored a basket off the bench; Knicks had a player named Phil Jackson score 14 points for them— wonder whatever happened to those two guys?

        11) Wizards 118, Knicks 113— Washington trailed by 27 with 2:41 left in the first half, by 21 at the half, but they rallied for an unlikely win. Knicks have now lost eight games in a row.

        10) Providence 76, Villanova 71— Wildcats lost for the second time in their last three games.

        9) Former Florida coach Jim McElwain is the new offensive coordinator at Michigan.

        8) Last four years, Oregon is 22-0 SU in Pac-12 regular season games, from Valentine’s Day until the end of the regular season.

        7) North Texas hosts Western Kentucky in a Conference USA game tonight; Mean Green is 7-5 in C-USA this year, after being 30-60 the last five years. All 12 of North Texas’ conference games this season have been decided by seven or fewer points.

        6) Scary car accident in Los Angeles Tuesday night, where a Ferrari clipped a SUV while apparently going very fast; the driver of the Ferrari died when the car overturned- his passenger was pro golfer Bill Haas, who is in serious but stable condition in the hospital. Actor Luke Wilson was driving the SUV; a woman passenger in one of the cars was injured.

        5) If/when the Raiders cut Sebastian Janikowski in the next few days, Tom Brady would be the only NFL player drafted before 2003 who is still with the team that drafted him.

        4) 16 of 30 NBA teams have a guy from Duke; 15 of 30 have a guy from Kentucky.

        3) Last college player to shoot 40%+ from the arc and average 10+ rebounds a game was Kevin Durant; North Carolina’s Luke Maye has a chance to do that this season.

        2) Auburn has trailed by double figures in eight games this season; they’re 5-3 in those games.

        1) RIP Tito Francona, Terry Francona’s dad, who passed away at age 84. Tito Francona played in the majors for 15 years for nine teams, hitting .272 with a .343 on-base %age.

                **Cincinnati at Houston**

                -- As of early this morning, most betting shops had Cincinnati (23-2 straight up, 13-8-1 against the spread) installed as a 3.5-point favorite with a total of 132.

                -- When these met at BB&T Arena in Highland Heights, KY., the home of the Northern Kentucky Norse who are loaning the facility to UC this season, Houston raced out to a 35-18 lead with 5:18 remaining in the first half. With the Cougars closing as 9.5-point road underdogs, bettors backing UH were ahead of the number by 26.5 points. The Bearcats rallied to within three by halftime and ended up winning an 80-70 decision and covering the number as 9.5-point home ‘chalk.’ Kyle Washington led UC’s rally with 19 points, five rebounds and three blocked shots. Jacob Evans added 18 points, seven rebounds, five assists and a pair of steals, while Jarron Cumberland finished with 15 points, four boards and four assists. Houston’s Corey Davis Jr. had 18 points, six rebounds and four assists compared to only one turnover and Devin Davis contributed 15 points, nine boards and three assists.

                -- Cincinnati has won three in a row over Houston and five of the last six both SU and ATS. The ‘under’ had been a winner in this rivalry six straight times until the 150 combined points soared ‘over’ the 133.5-point tally in this year’s first encounter.

                -- Mick Cronin’s squad is 7-1 SU and 4-3-1 ATS in eight road assignments.

                -- UC hasn’t tasted defeat since dropping a 66-60 decision to Florida in Newark, N.J., on Dec. 9. One week before losing to UF, the Bearcats lost 89-76 at Xavier as three-point road underdogs. Since taking those L’s, Cronin’s bunch has won 16 consecutive games.

                -- Cincinnati is 5-2 ATS with one outright loss in seven games as a single-digit favorite.

                -- Cincinnati is ranked eighth in the RPI Rankings, posting a 4-2 record against RPI Top-50 opponents and a 12-2 mark versus Top-100 foes. UC, which is fifth in the latest Associate Press Top 25, has home wins over Temple, Houston, Mississippi State, SMU and UCF. The Bearcats also have road victories at Temple, at UCLA, at UCF, at UConn and at SMU, in addition to neutral-court scalps of Buffalo and Wyoming.

                -- UC has four players averaging double figures in its balanced offensive attack. Evans is averaging 13.5 points, 4.3 rebounds, 3.4 assists, 1.4 steals and 1.0 blocked shots per game. Gary Clark (12.8 PPG, 8.8 RPG) has a 50/22 assist-to-turnover ratio and is draining 51.6 percent of his field-goal attempts and 41.5 percent of his 3-pointers. Clark, a four-year starter at forward, is also averaging 1.4 steals and 1.4 blocked shots per game.

                -- Cincinnati is ranked No. 1 in the nation in FG percentage defense (36.1%), second in scoring ‘D’ (55.9 PPG) and seventh at defending the 3-point line (30.0%).

                -- Houston (19-5 SU, 11-8-1 ATS) is undefeated in 12 home games with a 6-1-1 spread record. This is UH’s third game as a home underdog, previously winning outright over Wichita State and Arkansas.

                -- Since the road loss to UC, Houston has won three in a row while going 2-0-1 ATS. Kelvin Sampson’s squad destroyed Tulane by a 73-42 count Sunday as a 14.5-point home favorite. Devin Davis led the winners with 16 points and four rebounds, while Armoni Brooks added 11 points and 11 boards.

                -- Houston is No. 27 in the RPI with 4-2 record versus the Top 50 and a 7-3 ledger against the Top 100. UH has home wins over Arkansas, Temple, Wichita State, Tulsa and SMU. The Cougars also have a neutral-court win over Providence and a road win at UCF. They have a pair of bad L’s – at Tulane (RPI #124) and vs. Drexel (RPI #217) on a neutral floor.

                -- UH senior guard Rob Gray Jr. led the AAC in scoring with a 20.6 PPG average last year. Gray is averaging team-highs in scoring (17.7 PPG), assists (4.3 APG) and steals (1.2 SPG) this season. Devin Davis (10.7 PPG) is averaging team-bests in rebounding (6.1 RPG) and FG percentage (50.0%), while Corey Davis (12.5 PPG) is burying 43.6 percent of his treys.

                -- The ‘under’ is 14-8 overall for UC, 5-3 in its road games. The ‘under’ has cashed at a 4-2 clip for the Bearcats in their six games that had totals in the 130s. Going back several years, the ‘under’ is 38-13-1 in UC’s past 52 road outings.

                -- The ‘under’ is 12-8 overall for the Cougars, 6-2 in their home games.

                -- Tip-off is scheduled for 7:00 p.m. Eastern on the CBS Sports Network.

                **Arizona at Arizona State**

                -- As of early this morning, most books were listing Arizona State (19-6 SU, 13-10-2 ATS) as a one-point favorite with a total of 162.

                -- Arizona (20-6 SU, 9-15-2 ATS) is atop the Pac-12 standings with its 10-3 record in league play. Sean Miller’s team holds a two-game lead over both USC and UCLA, while ASU is in a four-way tie for sixth place and three games back of UA.

                -- Arizona is 6-2 SU and 4-4 ATS in eight road assignments.

                -- When these bitter rivals met in Tucson on Dec. 30, Arizona captured an 84-78 win as a six-point home favorite. The 162 combined points slithered ‘under’ the 163-point total. It was the Wildcats’ fifth consecutive win over ASU, which is 0-3-2 in those five setbacks. UA led by 12 with 4:11 remaining, but ASU’s Tra Holder hit several late buckets to give his team’s supporters a backdoor push. Holder finished with 31 points in the losing effort. Allonzo Trier and DeAndre Ayton scored 23 points apiece for the winners. Ayton had 19 rebounds and three blocked shots.

                -- Arizona is No. 17 in the latest AP poll and 18th in the RPI. UA is 4-2 against the RPI Top 50 and 10-6 versus the Top 100. The Wildcats own home wins over Alabama, USC, Arizona State, Oregon, Colorado, Utah and UConn. They also have road wins at Stanford and at Utah, in addition to a neutral-court triumph over Texas A&M.

                -- Arizona had dropped back-to-back game at Washington and vs. UCLA going into this past Saturday’s showdown vs. USC. The Wildcats avoided a three-game losing streak by stroking the Trojans 81-67 as 6.5-point home ‘chalk.’ Rawle Alkins drilled 4-of-7 launches from 3-point land and dished out five assists in a 20-point effort. Ayton produced 18 points and seven rebounds, while Trier finished with 14 points, eight boards and four assists.

                -- Arizona State is No. 25 in the RPI, going 2-1 versus the Top 25, 3-2 against the Top 50 and 8-6 when facing Top-100 competition. The Sun Devils have neutral-court wins over Xavier, Kansas State and St. John’s, in addition to victories at Kansas and at Utah. They also have home wins over USC, Colorado and UCLA.

                -- Bobby Hurley’s squad owns a 12-2 SU record and an 8-6 ATS mark at home.

                -- Holder leads ASU in scoring (19.4 PPG), steals (1.4 SPG) and 3-point accuracy (39.3%). Shannon Evans II is averaging 17.2 points, 4.0 assists, 3.5 rebounds and 1.4 steals per game.

                -- Arizona State has won three straight games and four of its past five since losing at home to Utah in overtime on Jan. 25. During the three-game winning streak, Evans is averaging 22.3 PPG and has an 8/2 assist-to-turnover ratio.

                -- The ‘over’ is 14-11-2 overall for the Wildcats, 6-2 in their road outings.

                -- The ‘over’ is 12-11-2 for the Sun Devils, 6-6-2 in their home contests.

                -- ESPN will have the telecast at 9:00 p.m. Eastern.



                **B.E.’s Bonus Nuggets**

                -- I’ve lost a pair of ‘unders’ in overtime the last two nights. First, I had ‘under’ 124 in Rutgers’ 67-58 OT win over Northwestern on Tuesday, with the 125 combined points inching ‘over’ late in the extra session. Then last night in Gainesville, Florida allowed a six-point lead with less than 16 ticks left to get away. Georgia star senior power forward Yante Maten buried a 25-footer from the right wing to trim the deficit to 59-56 with 15.8 seconds remaining. After Mark Fox burned a timeout, UF’s leading scorer Jalen Hudson was whistled for a travelling violation. Next, Maten drained another 3-ball, this one from beyond the top of the key from about 28 feet out. Maten’s heroics forced OT and had UGA seeking a season sweep of the Gators for the first time since 1997. The Bulldogs would do what they hadn’t done since Tubby Smith roamed the sidelines in Athens, winning 72-69 as 10-point underdogs. They hooked up money-line supporters with a +425 return (paid $425 on $100 wagers).

                -- Maten finished with 23 points and 10 rebounds. Tyree Crump had 13 points, nailing a huge 3-ball with just over three minutes left in OT to give UGA a six-point advantage. Georgia, now 14-11 overall and 5-8 in SEC play, still has tons of work to get back into the bubble conversation and save Fox’s job. But stranger things have happened. There are plenty of chances left, starting with Saturday’s home game vs. Tennessee.

                -- Florida missed five of its first six free throws in overtime. KeVaughn Allen knocked down a triple with 10:03 left in regulation to give the Gators an 11-point lead, but they wouldn’t get another bucket from the field until there was 2:36 remaining. Hudson went scoreless and committed the costly turnover at crunch time. Mike White’s club fell to 17-9 overall and 8-5 in SEC action.

                -- Check out St. John’s, which won its fourth consecutive game at DePaul last night. The Red Storm disappointed its backers like me as a 1.5-point road favorite, however. Chris Mullin’s team made only 1-of-2 at the charity stripe twice in the last 16 seconds, leaving the Blue Demons down by four after Tariq Owens’ made FT with three ticks left. DePaul called timeout but had little time to get in range for a quality look at a meaningless shot that held so much importance for some. You know what comes next: Max Strus nailed a long 3-pointer at the horn to give DePaul the improbable cover in a 77-76 loss.

                -- We shouldn’t get overly excited about St. John’s, right? Probably not. But what if Mullin’s team wins its last four regular-season games? Well, the Red Storm would then take an eight-game winning streak to Madison Square Garden for the Big East Tournament. When was the last time the Knicks won eight straight? The guess here is that it’s been years, many of them, and my point is that NYC would suddenly be fired up for the Johnnies at MSG. St. John’s is 12-13 overall, 4-11 in the Big East. The Red Storm went into last night at No. 64 in the RPI and No. 70 at KenPom.com. The four remaining games are at Marquette (RPI #66), vs. Seton Hall (#24), vs. Butler (#45) and at Providence (#41 BEFORE beating Villanova last night). St. John’s has Top-10 wins vs. Duke and at Villanova. It has five RPI Top-50 wins, including a 23-point victory over surging Nebraska and a neutral-court win over UCF when Tacko Fall was healthy. Eight of St. John’s 13 L’s have come against RPI Top-25 foes. Guess how many of those were blowouts? None. Only one loss, 82-70 to Arizona State at Staples Center in L.A., was by a double-digit margin, but the Johnnies were only down one to ASU with 2:10 left before the Sun Devils finished the game on an 11-0 run. If memory serves, Jim Harrick took a Georgia team with a 16-14 record to the NCAA Tournament in the early 2000s. If St. John’s wins its next four, it’ll go to MSG with a 16-13 record and lots of quality victories.

                -- Even if St. John’s only wins two or three of the next four, who says Shamorie Ponds can’t pull a Gerry McNamara and get the Johnnies to the finals of the Big East Tourney? This dude is on fire! He’s played all 40 minutes in each of the last five games. He logged 49 minutes in a double-overtime loss at Georgetown on Jan. 20. Ponds dropped 44 on Marquette this past weekend and then went for 26 points and 10 assists at DePaul. He had 33 in the win over Duke and finished with 26 at ‘Nova.

                -- Just as we noted in this space yesterday, Providence was off an unfathomable home loss (in blowout fashion) to DePaul this past weekend. Well, Ed Cooley’s team got that loss back last night by stunning Villanova 76-71 as a 9.5-point home underdog last night. The Friars hooked up money-line backers with a +400 payout. Kyron Cartwright was the catalyst with 17 points, five assists and three steals.

                -- N.C. State was another nice money-line winner (+200) in Wednesday's 74-70 win over the ‘Cuse at the Carrier Dome.

                -- Kentucky has lost four in a row after falling 76-66 at Auburn as a 9.5-point road underdog. The ‘Cats will try to avoid five straight L’s this weekend when they host Collin Sexton and a hot Alabama team at Rupp Arena.

                -- After Saturday’s controversial and gut-wrenching loss at Missouri in overtime, Mississippi State got beat by Vandy’s Riley LaChance at the buzzer last night in NashVegas. Ouch!

                  Nets, Pacers, Spurs, Nuggets are the four NBA teams used to play in the ABA.

                  Tuesday’s quiz

                  Salem is the capital of Oregon.


                  Thursday’s List of 13: Doing some thinking out loud…….

                  13) 17 innocent people died Wednesday in Florida, in a school shooting. In this country so far in 2018, there have been 18 school shootings in 35 school days; something needs to be done about crazy people having assault rifles, which is what this lunatic had.

                  12) 50 years ago Wednesday was the first NBA game in the new Madison Square Garden in NYC; Knicks beat the San Diego Rockets 114-102. San Diego had a sub named Pat Riley who scored a basket off the bench; Knicks had a player named Phil Jackson score 14 points for them— wonder whatever happened to those two guys?

                  11) Wizards 118, Knicks 113— Washington trailed by 27 with 2:41 left in the first half, by 21 at the half, but they rallied for an unlikely win. Knicks have now lost eight games in a row.

                  10) Providence 76, Villanova 71— Wildcats lost for the second time in their last three games.

                  9) Former Florida coach Jim McElwain is the new offensive coordinator at Michigan.

                  8) Last four years, Oregon is 22-0 SU in Pac-12 regular season games, from Valentine’s Day until the end of the regular season.

                  7) North Texas hosts Western Kentucky in a Conference USA game tonight; Mean Green is 7-5 in C-USA this year, after being 30-60 the last five years. All 12 of North Texas’ conference games this season have been decided by seven or fewer points.

                  6) Scary car accident in Los Angeles Tuesday night, where a Ferrari clipped a SUV while apparently going very fast; the driver of the Ferrari died when the car overturned- his passenger was pro golfer Bill Haas, who is in serious but stable condition in the hospital. Actor Luke Wilson was driving the SUV; a woman passenger in one of the cars was injured.

                  5) If/when the Raiders cut Sebastian Janikowski in the next few days, Tom Brady would be the only NFL player drafted before 2003 who is still with the team that drafted him.

                  4) 16 of 30 NBA teams have a guy from Duke; 15 of 30 have a guy from Kentucky.

                  3) Last college player to shoot 40%+ from the arc and average 10+ rebounds a game was Kevin Durant; North Carolina’s Luke Maye has a chance to do that this season.

                  2) Auburn has trailed by double figures in eight games this season; they’re 5-3 in those games.

                  1) RIP Tito Francona, Terry Francona’s dad, who passed away at age 84. Tito Francona played in the majors for 15 years for nine teams, hitting .272 with a .343 on-base %age.

                  • Dinero Tracker - Feb. 15
                    February 15, 2018


                    Read the Dinero Tracker's mission statement here
                    Last night's ATS Records
                    NBA: 4-5 | NCAA BB: 13-8


                    Wednesday's picks went reasonably well, but there were a few moments that swung results. On the positive side, OT prevented a loss on the FSU/Clemson total and I managed to avoid getting burned on a Florida/Georgia under bad beat since I held back late. There were some bullets I couldn't dodge, and the freebie crowd caugtht it too, right in the chest at the bitter end. Both sets of guarantees looked like they were coming in for a second straight day, but the college lock came up painfully short. That theme was present in the pros too, with two setbacks coming by a single point. The NBA lock managed to squeak by and is now 20-for-30 (66.7%) since Jan. 11. Here's Wednesday's recap, complete with some of the highlights (and lowlights):

                    THURSDAY'S FREE SELECTION

                    The pick: Arizona/ASU OVER

                    The Sun Devils will look to try and split the season series, but won't be able to slow down DeAndre Ayton, which is what took them down in the first meeting. With Dusan Ristic supplying yet another huge body Arizona State isn't equipped to deal with, they're going to look to run. Tra Holder scored 32 points and should have plenty of help pushing tempo, so the expectation here is that this game will wind up higher-scoring than the first meeting, an 84-78 'Cats win on Dec. 30. Ride the over.

                    WEDNESDAY'S FREE SELECTION

                    The pick: Hornets -5

                    The Magic have been a tremendous team against the spread despite all their injury issues, covering the number in 12 of their last 15. They've been an underdog in all but one of those games and are 12-2 catching points, but both of those setbacks have come at home. With Nikola Vucevic and Aaron Gordon ruled out until after All-Star break, look for Orlando to come up short against a Hornets team that it has lost two twice in Charlotte already this season. Dwight Howard is making his debut in Orlando with his latest team and has experienced a resurgence in his first season there. With Kemba Walker in a groove and set to face off against one of his first backcourt mates, D.J. Augustin, we're going to lay the points. Ride Charlotte.

                    Result: The freebie is now 4-2-1 over the last seven, but looked like we had a push after a pair of Jeremy Lamb free-throws gave the Hornets a 104-99 lead with 2.3 seconds left. With no timeouts remaining, the Magic just threw a fullcourt baseball pass that Marvin Williams tried to deflect and overran, leaving Marreese Speights to catch and knock down a 3-pointer that just beat the buzzer. St. John's lost a cover (-2) against DePaul in similar fashion later in the night, so we'll take solace in not being on the receiving end of that one too.

                    WEDNESDAY'S LOCK

                    The pick: Pacers -4

                    The Pacers should take advantage of the fact that the Nets are still attempting to work in Jahlil Okafor and they haven't had D'Angelo Russell get back up to speed off his injury. With Caris LeVert and Rondae Hollis-Jefferson out again, quality depth is likely to be an issue against a team with a strong second unit. Lay the points and ride Indiana, guaranteed.

                    Result: We were fortunate to pick up a cover here, since Indiana was down three points with 5:52 left but ended up winning the fourth 35-24. Cory Joseph finished just 4-for-7 from the stripe and left the door wide open for Brooklyn, but Spencer Dinwiddie returned the favor with a free-throw miss of his own with 4.5 seconds left, resulting in a 108-103 final. The total closed 212, so it would've been interesting to see if the Nets would've fouled had Dinwiddie not missed. A push on both side and total would've been like kissing your sister on both cheeks, Euro-style, twice.

                    LOCK THAT DIDN'T CLICK

                    The pick: Nevada/Boise State OVER 150

                    This is for first place in the Mountain West, providing the Wolf Pack an opportunity to really strengthen their position as we head down to the wire in the regular-season race. Eric Musselman's team has been fantastic on the road, but the Broncos haven't lost at Taco Bell Arena and are fueled by an improving probable lottery pick in impressive wing Chandler Hutchison, who didn't shoot well from beyond the arc in the first meeting but did end up scoring 27. With Caleb Martin not 100 percent, Nevada won't be able to defend like it would want to on the road, but they can put the ball in the basket and will extend this at the very least. Ride the over, guaranteed.

                    Result: Outside of watching Lindsey Drew tragically tear his Achilles, this was a fantastic game that ended up putting on the best show on the entire college card. Both teams made big shots down the stretch, but the Wolf Pack persevered and pulled off a 77-72 win. Hutchison had a clean look at a short jumper that would've tied the game at 74 and then missed a great look at a 3-pointer on the same possession, keeping our over call from coming in. The Wolf Pack missed a free-throw that would've delivered a push, Boise turned over its last possession and the ball ended up in Caleb Martin's hands for a smooth 360 celebratory breakaway dunk that was slammed down a good second after the final buzzer. Martin was booed anyway, so we would've appreciated if he hadn't hesitated slightly before throwing down.

                    TOTAL RECALL

                    The pick: Indiana/Illinois OVER 141.5

                    This is a revenge game for the Hoosiers, who fell by a bucket in Champaign on Jan. 24, supplying one of the few highlights of Brad Underwood's first season at Illinois. Indiana is a different team at Assembly Hall, but this strikes me as just too many points to count on covering at home. The over is the safest bet here.

                    Result: This worked out well since the Hoosiers ended up covering the 9.5 with a 78-68 win that would've been too stressful to sit through as an interested party. The game extension down the stretch delivered the over far more comfortably.

                    CARDIAC ATTACK

                    The pick: Auburn -9

                    This isn't likely to be a fun night for Kentucky, which still has time on its side but is likely to hit rock bottom with a double-digit loss here. Bryce Brown is set to play and the Tigers are playing a fourth consecutive home game. The 'Cats come off an 11-point loss in College Station and will drop their fourth straight here. Lay the points and ride Auburn.

                    Result: Auburn opened 1-for-16 from the field and actually trailed 59-58 with 6:15 remaining before they took over. Bryce Brown hit big shots to help the Tigers close on an 18-7 run in a 76-66 win. This is now Kentucky's first four-game losing streak since 2009 and first under John Calipari, but it was in this game for the bulk of it and isn't a lost cause just yet. Auburn is just better and came through on the home cover.

                    SWING AND A MISS

                    The pick: Virginia Tech +10.5, VT/Duke OVER 162

                    The Hokies will test Duke's porous defense and will benefit from the continued absence of star forward Marvin Bagley III, who leads the entire ACC in scoring and rebounding. Without his presence on the floor, look for Virginia Tech to be more successful attacking the paint, holding up well in Durham in what should be a higher-scoring game than even this lofty number can cover. Ride Virginia Tech plus the points and back the over for the in-game parlay.

                    Result: The Hokies managed to score 52 points in getting blown out and left Hubie Brown puzzled as to why they were complicating matters for themselves on offense. Duke clamped down, but with Bagley sidelined, it should've been in for a tough game from a Virginia Tech team that took down UVa. Grayson Allen took Tech's heart early. Didn't see that coming.

                    PROOF OF CLAIRVOYANCE

                    The pick: Xavier -6, XU/Seton Hall OVER 157.5

                    The Pirates have had a lousy February so far, losing at home to Villanova and Marquette and dropping their most recent game at Georgetown. They make tough shots, but seemingly always fall into a self-imposed trap, something that will always trip you up on the road in Cincinnati. Lay the points with Xavier and ride the over for the in-game parlay.  

                    Result: An inability to stop Trevon Bluiett provided Seton Hall's latest insurmountable obstacle, as he went for 37 points and shot 8-for-11 from 3-point range, helping his team out to a 42-22 lead. The Pirates were down big, did manage to rally behind Myles Powell and Desi Rodriguez combining for 50 points, but their nightmare month continue. The Muskies won 102-90, coasting comfortably after JP Macura ended the Hall's comeback bid with a late dagger 3, XU's 14th on the night.

                      **********

                      Armadillo: Friday's List of 13: Random stuff on a winter day

                      13) Arizona 77, Arizona State 70— Pretty intense rivalry game. An Arizona male cheerleader was tossed by the refs for taunting an ASU player.

                      Arizona coach Sean Miller sweated thru his suit jacket. Sweating thru your dress shirt is one thing, but if you sweat so much it soaks thru your suitcoat too, thats some serious stress.

                      Solid win for the Wildcats; ASU is now 7-7 and in 7th place in the Pac-12.

                      12) USC 72, Oregon 70— Trojans survived 5-12 shooting on foul line and snapped a 3-game skid, scoring on an alley-oop pass for the game-winner with 0:00.6 left.

                      11) Wichita State 93, Temple 86— Owls led 56-42 at the half, but scored only 30 points in the second half, as their 5-game win streak ended. Temple beat the Shockers in Philly, so Wichita might want to avoid the Owls in the A-14 tournament.

                      10) Houston 67, Cincinnati 62— Bearcats’ first loss since December 9 to Florida; I’m guessing on Selection Sunday, someone will interview a smiling Kelvin Sampson after his Cougars make the Field of 68— this win should get them in.

                      9) Pacers-Pelicans NBA game that was postponed last week because of a leaky roof in New Orleans has been rescheduled for March 21.

                      8) Seattle’s new 1B Ryon Healy has a real injury; he had an operation to have bone spurs taken out of his hand— he’ll be out 4-6 weeks.

                      7) Orioles signed pitcher Andrew Cashner for two years, $16M; he ain’t going to like the short dimensions at Camden Yards.

                      6) Wisconsin 57, Purdue 53— Badgers retired Frank Kaminsky’s number 44, and then went out and handed Purdue its third loss in a row. First half of this game was amazingly ugly.

                      5) Denver 134, Milwaukee 123— Nikola Jokic had a triple-double….in the first half!!!

                      4) Penn State 79, Ohio State 56— Nittany Lions were up 24 at the half. Impressive.

                      3) Bengals’ backup QB AJ McCarron won a grievance with the league, will become an unrestricted free agent next month, which means he’ll be really rich fairly soon.

                      2) Football players must hate baseball; Dodger pitcher Alex Wood “tweaked his ankle during calisthenics” Thursday, so he’ll be out a few days. Someone in the NFL “tweaks his ankle” and it doesn’t exactly make the injury report. Plus all baseball contracts are guaranteed.

                      I’m 58 years old; there’s a fair-to-midland chance I could get thru calisthenics without tweaking my ankle. As long as calisthenics didn’t include any running ��

                      1) Minnesota Timberwolves’ starting five players are all in the top 38 in the NBA in minutes played, which is part of why Minnesota is so improved this year (36-25).
                      Remember the 3 G's Gambling, Golf, Girls not in any particular order.....

                              • Friday's Wagers
                                February 16, 2018


                                During the sixth season of his tenure at Rhode Island, Danny Hurley’s program is enjoying a breakout campaign. The former Seton Hall guard is the son of Bob Hurley and the younger brother of Bobby Hurley, the star point guard for Duke when it repeated as national champions in the 1991 and ’92 NCAA Tournaments.

                                During Duke’s run to the ’92 title in the East Region semifinals, the Blue Devils had to get past Danny’s Pirates at the old Spectrum in Philadelphia. Of course, Duke’s next game two nights later against Kentucky was the greatest game in college basketball history.

                                Danny and Bobby’s father is the legendary prep coach who guided St. Anthony’s High School in New Jersey for 45 years before the school closed in 2017. The elder Hurley won 28 state titles and was named USA Today’s National Coach of the Year three times.

                                Bobby is now the head coach at Arizona State, while their father recently entered retirement. With ASU slumping after a great run during non-conference play, it finally appears as if Danny is the center of attention in this 2017-18 season.

                                Rhode Island (21-3 straight up, 14-7 against the spread) returns to the court tonight to put its perfect Atlantic-10 record on the line at St. Bonaventure. As of early this morning, most betting shops had URI installed as a one-point favorite with a total of 150.

                                Rhode Island has won outright in six of its eight true road assignments, compiling a 4-3-1 spread record. URI is No. 5 in the RPI Rankings, No. 16 in the latest Associated Press Top 25 and No. 29 at KenPom.com.

                                The Rams are 3-3 against the RPI Top 50 and 4-3 versus the Top 100. They have home wins over Providence, St. Bonaventure and Charleston, in addition to a neutral-court victory over Seton Hall.

                                URI’s three losses have come at Nevada, at Alabama and vs. Virginia on a neutral floor. There’s no shame any of those defeats, but the Rams’ resume is obviously lacking in high-profile wins, especially one on the road. This adds significance to Friday’s A-10 showdown, as this is their final regular-season game versus an RPI Top-100 opponent.

                                In Joe Lunardi’s latest edition of ‘Bracketology’ that was released Thursday morning on ESPN.com, Rhode Island is listed as a No. 5 seed in the East Region. Joey Brackets has the Rams slated to face the First Four winner of UCLA vs. Texas in San Diego. The winner would get the 4/13 survivor of Gonzaga vs. East Tennessee State in the Round of 32.

                                As for St. Bonaventure, it was slotted as the top team in the First Four (left) Out of the 68-team field. However, the two teams ahead of the Bonnies were USC and UCLA, both of whom were in action late Thursday on the West coast.

                                Senior guard Jared Terrell paces the Rams in scoring with his 17.5 points-per-game average. Terrell is averaging 3.4 rebounds, 2.5 assists and 1.5 steals per game, and he’s knocked down 42.4 percent of his treys. E.C. Matthews, another senior guard, is averaging 12.9 points and 3.9 RPG, while Stanford Robinson (9.7 PPG, 5.6 RPG) has a team-high 57 steals. Jeff Dowtin (8.9 PPG) has an incredible 136/31 assist-to-turnover ratio has hit 41.0 percent of his 3-balls.

                                Hurley’s squad hasn’t lost since its trip to Tuscaloosa on Dec. 6, winning 16 consecutive games. URI is 11-3 ATS in its past 14 outings thanks to three consecutive covers, including Tuesday’s 85-67 win over Richmond as a 13.5-point home ‘chalk.’ Terrell scored a team-best 17 points and Dowtin produced 11 points, five rebounds, four steals and seven assists compared to just one turnover. Matthews is listed as ‘questionable’ with a knee injury that forced him to leave the win over Richmond. He had logged just 15 minutes of action and contributed only two points and two boards. Cyril Langevine finished with 15 points and six rebounds, while Fatts Russell had 14 points, four boards, three steals and two assists without a turnover.

                                St. Bonaventure (19-6 SU, 11-11 ATS) has won outright in 10 of its 11 home games, posting a 5-4 spread record. If the line holds with URI as a short ‘chalk,’ this will be the first time St. Bonaventure has been a home underdog this season. The Bonnies are 3-3 both SU and ATS in six games as underdogs on the road and at neutral sites.

                                Mark Schmidt’s club is ranked No. 44 in the RPI and No. 66 at KenPom. St. Bonaventure is seeking its first NCAA Tournament berth since 2012 and badly needs a win tonight. The Bonnies are 3-2 versus the RPI Top 50 and 5-2 against the Top 100. However, they have lost at Dayton (RPI #111) at Davidson (RPI #116), at Saint Joseph’s (#193) and vs. Niagara (#164).

                                Since going 1-4 both SU and ATS during a five-game stretch to start January, St. Bonaventure has won seven straight games, including Tuesday’s 79-68 win at La Salle in a pick ‘em affair. The Bonnies’ dynamic backcourt led the way, with Matt Mobley dropping a game-high 30 points on the Explorers. Mobley drained 4-of-9 attempts from 3-point range, grabbed nine rebounds and dished out three assists. Jaylen Butler added 26 points, five assists, four steals and three rebounds. Butler buried 5-of-8 launches from 3-point range.

                                Adams is averaging a team-high 20.5 points, 5.3 assists, 3.9 rebounds and 1.5 steals per game. Adams is sixth in the country in 3-point accuracy, hitting 50.8 percent of his 3-pointers. The senior guard has been especially hot lately, scoring 40, 44, 24 and 26 points in his team’s past four games. Mobley is averaging 18.5 PPG, his exact scoring output for last year as well. He’s also averaging 5.0 rebounds, 2.7 assists and 1.3 steals per game.

                                URI has won three in a row over St. Bonaventure both SU and ATS, including an 87-73 victory as a 7.5-point home favorite on Jan. 13. The 160 combined points catapulted ‘over’ the 144.5-point total to end a 4-0 run of ‘unders’ in this rivalry. All three of URI’s most recent wins over the Bonnies have come by double-digit margins, but the Rams are just 4-9 ATS in the last 13 head-to-head meetings.

                                In the January victory at Ryan Center in Kingston, Matthews paced the winners with 20 points, nine rebounds and a pair of blocked shots. Dowtin added 18 points and nine assists without a turnover, while Andre Berry contributed 12 points and seven boards. Mobley and Adams scored 19 points apiece in defeat.

                                The ‘over’ is 12-10-1 overall for the Rams, 6-2 in their road assignments.

                                The ‘over’ is 12-10 overall for the Bonnies, 5-4 in their home games. They’ve seen the ‘over’ go 9-4 in their past 13 contests.

                                Tip-off on ESPN is scheduled for 7:00 p.m. Eastern.

                                **B.E.’s Bonus Nuggets**

                                -- Going back to last season, the ‘over’ is on a 10-2-1 run in Rhode Island’s last 12 road games.

                                -- There are three other televised games Friday night: Bowling Green at Buffalo (ESPNU, 7:00 p.m. Eastern), Georgia State at Georgia Southern (ESPN2, 9:00) and Northern Kentucky at Wright State (ESPNU, 9:00).

                                -- Monmouth might be without two of its best players for tonight’s home game vs. Canisius. Micah Seaborn (13.7 PPG, 3.6 RPG & 1.9 APG) is ‘doubtful’ with a hamstring injury, while Austin Tilghman is ‘questionable’ due to a shoulder injury. Tilghman is averaging 11.1 points, 6.1 rebounds, 5.5 assists and 1.2 steals per game.

                                -- Purdue has suddenly lost three games in a row after going down 57-53 at Wisconsin last night. The Badgers won outright as 11-point home underdogs, hooking up money-line supporters with a +500 return.

                                -- Cincinnati lost 67-62 at Houston last night as a 2.5-point road favorite. The Bearcats lost for the first time since a 66-60 loss to Florida in Newark, N.J., on December 6. The 129 combined points dipped ‘under’ the 132.5-point total to improve to 39-13-1 in UC’s past 53 road games.

                                -- Penn State bolstered its resume in impressive fashion with last night’s never-a-doubt 79-56 win over Ohio State as a one-point home favorite.
