Armadillo: Sunday's six-pack

Baseball betting: over/unders on pitcher’s win this year:

Stephen Strasbug, 15.5

Zach Greinke, 14.5

Yu Darvish, 13.5

Sonny Gray, 13.5

Noah Syndergaard, 13.5

Shohei Ohtani, 10.5

**********

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

13) Non-basketball note, but a great one: A young man from Central Florida did 20 reps on the bench press at the NFL Combine Saturday, using a prosthetic left hand- the young man has no left hand. Kudos to Shaquem Griffin, one determined dude. Hope you make it in the NFL.

12) Tennessee 66, Georgia 61— Vols were picked 13th in SEC preseason poll; there are 14 teams in the SEC. Instead, Tennessee tied Auburn for the regular season title, with only one senior in the Vols’ 10-man rotation.

11) Hawai’i 68, Cal-State Fullerton 60— This game was delayed for an extra half hour at the half, because a bracket on top of one of the backboards broke, and the school had no replacement.

After consulting with the Big West head of officials, it was decided to lower the baskets that hang from the ceiling (like high school backboards) and play the second half with those baskets, instead of the usual portable backboards. Very unusual.

Shot clocks were on the floor in the corners, the way they were in the NBA 40 years ago.

10) Illinois State 76, Southern Illinois 68 OT— Exciting game in semifinals of Arch Madness in St Louis; Redbirds play top-seeded Loyola in the championship game Sunday.

No one pays to watch the referees: In first half of this game, after a whistle, a ref calls a taunting technical on an Illinois State player; the replay showed he said something to an opponent as they passed each other after the whistle. No physical contact, just quiet talk. LET IT GO!!!

Before that could be sorted out, a second SIU player says something in passing to the Illinois State player who got the T, and a second referee gives HIM a technical. So now we have offsetting technical fouls, when nothing should’ve been called in the first place.

Problem for Illinois State was that the technical on their guy was also his third personal foul, and this was still in the first half. He eventually fouled out in overtime.

9) Miami 69, Virginia Tech 68— Hurricanes won their last four games, by a total of 8 points.

8) Xavier 65, DePaul 62— Musketeers win Big East regular season title, first team other than Villanova to do that since the league re-organized.

7) Upsets of the Day:
Little Rock (+20.5) 72, UL-Lafayette 61 OT
Cleveland State (+13.5) 89, Northern Kentucky 80
Marshall (+11) 76, Middle Tennessee 67
Stanford (+8.5) 84, Arizona State 83
Sacramento State (+8) 88, Northern Colorado 77
Arkansas State (+7) 83, UL-Monroe 79
Texas-El Paso (+6.5) 68, North Texas 66
Hawai’i (+6.5) 68, Cal State-Fullerton 60

6) Texas-El Paso 68, North Texas 66— Mean Green were improved this year; they finish 8-10 in Conference USA, after being 9-27 the last two years— 11 of their 18 conference games this season were decided by 4 or fewer points, or in OT.

5) Stanford 84, Arizona State 83— Sun Devils were 12-0 on Christmas, a top 10 team; they then went 8-10 in the Pac-12, going 3-9 in games decided by 7 or fewer points, or in OT. ASU will be a really tough team to handicap in the NCAAs; I’m assuming they’re going to make it.

4) NC State 76, Louisville 69— Louisville-Florida State is the 8-9 game in the ACC tournament, with both teams going 9-9 in ACC play. Could it be a play-in game?

3) Duke 74, North Carolina 64— Duke outscored Tar Heels 49-29 in second half; they took 20 foul shots (9-20), Carolina took five (4-5). My quick math says Blue Devils were 7-15 on arc in the second half. Teams could meet again next weekend in Brooklyn.

2) Murray State 68, Belmont 51— First bid in the Field of 68 goes to the Racers; over last five years, five different teams have won the OVC tournament.

1— Cleveland State 89, Northern Kentucky 80— Top seed in Horizon goes down in the biggest upset of the day. Norse had beaten Cleveland State by 17-15 points in two meetings during the regular season, but those games don’t matter nearly as much as this one did.

Big Ten Conference championship betting preview and odds: Michigan vs. Purdue
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Michigan Wolverines vs. Purdue Boilermakers (-3, 137.5)

Game to be played at Madison Square Garden, New York

Michigan became the first team since 2001 to win four games in four days at the Big Ten tournament last season, outlasting Purdue in overtime on its way to its first conference tournament title. The 13th-ranked and fifth-seeded Wolverines attempt to win four games in as many days for the second straight year as they face the eighth-ranked and second-seeded Boilermakers in the championship game at New York's Madison Square Garden.

The biggest challenge Michigan faced during its conference tournament run last season - besides the airplane scare it endured traveling to the event - was a four-point overtime victory against top-seeded Purdue in the quarterfinals. The Wolverines appear to be playing their best basketball late again for a second straight season, as they ran their winning streak to eight games Saturday with a 75-64 semifinal triumph over Michigan State. Michigan will have payback on its mind Sunday, however, as Purdue took both regular-season meetings this year by a total of five points. The Boilermakers, who are in search of their first tournament title since capturing their only one in 2009, won for the fifth straight time Saturday after defeating Penn State 78-70 in the other semifinal.

TV: 4:30 p.m. ET, CBS

BETTING STATS:

BETTING ACTION AND LINE MOVES:

Purdue opened as 3.5-point favorites and early Sunday morning action on the underdog Wolverines has pushed that number down slightly to 3. The total hit betting boards at 135 and has been bet up to 137.5.

MATCHUP CHART:

ABOUT MICHIGAN (27-7 SU, 21-11-1 ATS, 16-16-1 O/U): Moritz Wagner poured in 14 of his 15 points in the second half Saturday to overcome a 0-for-7 from the field showing before intermission, and the second-team all-conference honoree became the 54th Wolverine to surpass 1,000 points in his career. Muhammad-Ali Abdur-Rahkman added 15 points against the Spartans on 6-of-11 from the floor and, including a 10-for-15 effort from the field versus Purdue 12 games ago, the 6-4 guard is shooting 50.7 percent (39.4 over the first 22 contests). Sophomore Zavier Simpson (7.4 points, 3.0 rebounds) turned in one of his finest performances Saturday, reaching double figures for the fourth straight time with 15 points while also corralling seven boards - his most in over a month.

ABOUT PURDUE (28-5 SU, 15-16-1 ATS, 15-17-1 O/U): Rebounding figures to be one area in which coach Matt Painter will address in the 20-plus hours between games as Purdue has been beaten on the glass in each of its first two games in New York (72-60), particularly on the offensive end (33-13). First-team All-Big Ten performer Carsen Edwards (18.7 points) has scored at least 26 points in four of his last five outings - including both games at MSG - and has buried three or more 3-pointers in six straight after a 6-for-9 effort Saturday. Senior 7-2 center Isaac Haas (14.6 points, 5.5 rebounds) is averaging 14.5 points and 8.5 boards in New York and burned the Wolverines for 24 points on 10-of-14 shooting in 20 minutes in a Jan. 25 victory.

TRENDS:

* Wolverines are 12-3-1 ATS in their last 16 neutral site games.
* Boilermakers are 1-10-1 ATS in their last 12 vs. Big Ten.
* Over is 5-0-1 in Wolverines' last 6 vs. Big Ten.
* Over is 22-6 in Boilermakers' last 28 neutral site games.
* Wolverines are 4-0 ATS in the last 4 meetings.

TIP-IN BETTING TIDBITS:

- Michigan has won three of the four meetings in the Big Ten tournament, including the title game in the inaugural event in 1998 - a result that was later vacated.

- With his next triple, Boilermakers G Dakota Mathias passes E'Twaun Moore (243) for the most 3-pointers in program history.

- The Wolverines, who on Saturday became only the fourth team this season to outrebound the Spartans (36-33), have held seven straight opponents below one point per possession.
