**********

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

13) Oregon State 97, Washington 94 2OT— Just when the Huskies were sneaking towards the bubble, Stephen Thompson Jr hit the game winner with 0:00.3 left. Thompson’s dad played for Syracuse, where he was a teammate of Washington coach Mike Hopkins.

12) Texas A&M 85, Kentucky 74— Wildcats lost their 3rd straight game; they’re 3-5 in last eight games- they’re shooting 28.7% on arc in SEC games. A&M won six of last eight games; they have an interesting resume; several quality wins, but also a 5-game losing streak in January.

11) Virginia Tech 61, Virginia 60 OT— Hokies won five of last six games; this win is especially important for them because their non-conference schedule was 341st in country, which means it was really weak. This was Virginia’s first loss since Dec 5 at West Virginia.

10) Upsets of the Day:
UL-Monroe (+13.5) 90, Georgia State 82 OT
Virginia Tech (+12) 61, Virginia 60 OT
Oklahoma State (+12) 88, West Virginia 85
Cal-Northridge (+11.5) 77, Hawai’i 71
DePaul (+9) 80, Providence 63
Northern Illinois (+8.5) 90, Buffalo 88 OT
Fordham (+8) 80, Duquesne 57

9) Baylor 80, Kansas 64— Right now, with six games left, Texas Tech is atop Big X at 9-3, with Jayhawks one game behind. Kansas won the last 13 Big X regular season titles.

8) Michigan State 68, Purdue 65— Rough week for the senior-laden Boilermakers, who lost to Buckeyes/Spartans by combined total of four points. Miles Bridges hit the game-winner with 0:03 left to send everyone home happy in East Lansing.

7) Xavier 72, Creighton 71— Controversial ending, with refs calling foul on the Bluejays with 0:00.3 left— marginal calls like that don’t often go against the home folks. Goodin scored a career-high 17 points for the Musketeers.

6) Boston College 72, Miami 70- Vastly-improved Eagles are 5-7 in ACC this year, after being 10-62 in ACC games the previous four years.

5) Colorado State 90, San Jose State 79— Rams suspended interim head coach Steve Barnes just before this game; a 30-year old assistant was named the newest interim coach. Apparently the players like this guy; they doused him with water bottles after this win snapped the Rams’ losing streak at seven games.

4) Arizona State 88, UCLA 79— Sun Devils got their first Pac-12 weekend sweep in three seasons under coach Bobby Hurley- they’re also over .500 (7-6) in Pac-12 for first time this season.

3) North Carolina 96, NC State 89— Since 2002, Tar Heels are now 13-0 in game following a win over Duke; you’d think that next game would be a trap game, but not for Carolina.

2) Montana 71, Sacramento State 69 OT— Griz is 13-0 in Big Sky, narrowly avoiding an upset loss here. Hornets led by 9 with 11:23 left, by 3 with 1:45 left.

1— UNLV 85, Wyoming 70— I had fun watching this game in person; Rebels jumped out to 19-2 lead, then the natives got restless when Cowboys briefly grabbed lead in second half. UNLV held Wyoming star James to 6-23 shooting— he is 15-45 from floor since the Cowboys played three consecutive OT games Jan 24-27-31.

Get a jump on your March Madness brackets with these NCAA tournament tips
Maddy Palmer

The Super Bowl is yesterday’s news, which means the next big event on the sports betting calendar is March Madness.

While we’re still a month away from the college basketball postseason, “Bracketologists” are closely studying the potential field of 68 teams trying to figure out which NCAA programs have what it takes to crack the opening weekend of the Big Dance and go deep into the tournament.

If you’re switching gears from the gridiron to the college hardwood, and trying to get a leg up on your bracket pool this March, here are some facts and figures to look out for before Selection Sunday:

Non-conference competition

More and more importance is being put on the non-conference slate of games, with the Selection Committee taking those foreign foes into account more than ever. This is especially true for small-conference powers like Gonzaga, who don’t get much push back in conference play and must load up their opening schedule with big-name basketball giants to boost their NCAA appeal.

If you’re looking for a bracket sleeper this March, go all the way back to November and December when teams were taking on non-conference competition. You can see which teams are battle tested and capable of a NCAA stunner.

Current form

This is probably a handicapping staple, no matter what sport you’re betting. In college basketball, coaches are always working toward the postseason, trying to get their guys to peak at the perfect time. We’ve seen mid-tier teams catch fire in their conference tournaments and roll right through the bracket – like UConn in 2011 – so momentum is one thing you’ll want to keep in mind.

Also, take a look at a team’s overall success throughout the season. Did they struggle early on with new young players rounding into their roles or was a top talent injured or suspended to start the season? As teams get experience and heal up, they can become significantly improved in the final stretch of the regular season.

Strength of Schedule and RPI

In the ramp up to the NCAA tournament, you’re going to hear a bunch of acronyms: RPI, SOS, KenPom ratings. I’m sure they add a few more of these things every March. These are statistical measurements used to grade teams beyond just their win/loss record.

I’m not going to dive into the math behind these equations – you can easily Google that stuff – but make sure you know what goes into these ratings. In a nutshell, they account for a team’s winning percentage, the winning percentage of its opponents, and the winning percentage of its opponents’ opponents. Good thing these ratings do all number crunching for you.

Superstar factor

Basketball is unlike many other team sports in that a game can often be determined simply by the performance of a single player. With the one-and-done rule still in place, the NCAA at least gets one year with the most promising pro prospects in the country… well, unless your crazy father ships you off to play in Lithuania.

Team’s with pro-ready talent often rise to the top during March Madness, when those budding superstars step into the national spotlight. While many think experience and upperclassmen are the most valuable assets come tourney time, those things will only take you so far. Talent can trump all, so get to know the best players in the country and if they’re capable to carrying a Cinderella deep into the bracket.
