Armadillo: Tuesday's List of 13: Some college knowledge…….

13) Over the last 15 years, of the 60 teams who made the Final Four, 26 won their conference tournament. Over last six years, only 7 of 24 Final Four teams won their conference tourney; from 2004-11, 19 of 32 Final Four teams did.

12) 7 of the last 15 national champs won their conference tourney, but only one of the last six.

11) Since 2003, only 8 of 60 Final Four teams lost their first conference tourney game: Here are those teams:
2003— Marquette, Texas
2005— Michigan State
2007— UCLA
2009— UConn
2010— Michigan State (only team to do it twice)
2016— Syracuse
2017— South Carolina

10) Since 2006, two CAA teams have made the Final Four; George Mason in ’06 and VCU five years later. Weird thing is that neither of those teams won the CAA tournament that year. CAA ain’t getting more than one team in NCAA’s anymore, but they did as recently as 2011.

9) In 2011, UConn did something that will never be surpassed; not only did they win the NCAA tournament, winning six games, they had to win another five games to win the Big East tournament— they weren’t getting into the NCAA’s unless they won that tournament.

8) In 2006 and 2007, Florida finished the season by winning both the SEC tournament and the NCAA tournament— thats a very underrated accomplishment- 9-0 finishes both years.

7) In the last 15 years, 2008 was the only Final Four where all four teams won their conference tournament; in 2003 and 2009, none of the Final Four teams won their tournament.

6) Not putting pressure on Montana or anything, but the #1 seed won the last seven Big Sky tournaments. Most of those were at the home court of the #1 seed; they play the tournament on a neutral floor in Reno these days, but still…….

5) Fairfield has basketball players from nine different countries, plus Puerto Rico.

4) Eastern Washington’s Bogdan Bliznyuk has made 74 foul shots in a row, which is an NCAA single-season record.

3) Since the NCAA tournament went to 64, and then 68 teams, #2 seeds are 124-8 in their first round tournament games; here are the eight #2 seeds who lost in the first round:

1990— Richmond (+9) 73, Syracuse 69
1993— Santa Clara (+20) 64, Arizona 61
1997— Coppin State (+17) 78, South Carolina 65
2001— Hampton (+17.5) 58, Iowa State 57
2012— Lehigh (+12) 75, Duke 70
2012— Norfolk State (+21.5) 86, Missouri 84
2013— Florida Gulf Coast (+13.5) 78, Georgetown 68
2016— Middle Tennessee State (+18) 90, Michigan State 81

2) Since 2003, Big Sky teams are 1-14 in first round NCAA tourney games; over the last 11 years, they’re 2-8-1 vs spread in first round games.

1— Big West teams have also had problems in the NCAA’s recently; since 2006, Big West teams are 2-0 in play-in games, but are 1-11 in first round games, 4-8 vs spread.

ACC Conference Tournament First Round betting preview and odds

The first round of the ACC Tournament gets underway in Brooklyn and if any of the teams involved in Tuesday's opening round hope to go dancing, it will take a miracle deep run to a conference tournament title.

Tournament to be played at Barclays Center, Brooklyn, New York.

Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets vs. Boston College Eagles (-2, 138.5)

Boston College has concluded its winningest season since 2010-11 and looks to extend that success into the opening round of the ACC Tournament on Tuesday against Georgia Tech at the Barclays Center in Brooklyn, N.Y. The No. 12-seed Eagles won seven games in conference play this season - sparked by league player-of-the-year runner-up Jerome Robinson and his ACC-leading 20.7 points per game - but struggled down the stretch in Saturday’s 85-76 defeat at Florida State.

The 13th-seeded Yellow Jackets lost seven league games in a row before winning their final two games of the regular season, earning victories over North Carolina State and Wake Forest last week. Josh Okogie hit six free throws in the final 17 seconds of Saturday’s 64-56 victory over the Demon Deacons, and enters the tournament averaging a team-best 18.4 points per game. Tadric Jackson averages 12.1 points per game and has taken over at point guard following the season-ending elbow injury to freshman Jose Alvarado. The Yellow Jackets allow 67.3 points per game, fourth in the ACC and 47th in the nation.

Robinson enjoyed a stellar regular season, averaging 24.3 points per game in ACC contests while hitting 44.5 percent of his 3-point attempts in league action. Fellow guard Ky Bowman is the only player in the nation to average at least 16.9 points, 6.7 rebounds and 4.8 assists per game this season. Boston College leads the ACC in made 3-pointers per game (8.8) and the Eagles are one of just three teams in the nation to have a trio of players (Jordan Chatman, Robinson and Bowman) to make at least 73 3-pointers this season.

BETTING STATS:

BETTING ACTION AND LINE MOVEMENT:

Boston College opened as 2-point favorites and as of Monday evening that number has not moved. The total hit betting boards at 138.5 and has also held steady thus far.

MATCHUP CHART:

TRENDS:

* Yellow Jackets are 4-0 ATS in their last 4 vs. Atlantic Coast.
* Eagles are 3-12 ATS in their last 15 neutral site games.
* Under is 6-1 in Yellow Jackets' last 7 games following a straight up win.
* Over is 4-1 in Eagles' last 5 overall.
* Over is 6-1 in the last 7 meetings.

Pittsburgh Panthers vs Notre Dame Fighting Irish (-16.5, 133.5)

Notre Dame finally has a healthy lineup as it attempts to make a run in the ACC Tournament, which starts with a matchup against 15th seed Pittsburgh on Tuesday at the Barclays Center in Brooklyn, N.Y. Senior forward Bonzie Colson has averaged 18 points and 12 rebounds in two games since his return from a broken foot for the 10th-seeded Fighting Irish, who gave No. 1 Virginia all it could handle in a 62-57 setback Saturday.

The Irish, who are 12-4 with Colson in the lineup, will most likely need multiple wins in the ACC tournament to open the eyes of the NCAA committee to earn a bid in the Big Dance and knocking off a young Pittsburgh squad is essential. The Irish were also 1-4 when Matt Farrell was out with an ankle injury and the senior guard contributes 16.8 points with team highs of 5.3 assists and 86 made 3-pointers while being named third team All-ACC.

The Panthers have lost a program-record 18 consecutive games - all in ACC play - and were beaten by double figures in 15 of them, including a 73-56 decision at Notre Dame on Wednesday. Junior guard Jared Wilson-Frame scored 20 in the loss against the Irish and is the only active Panther averaging in double figures (12.8) while draining 71 shots from 3-point range.

BETTING STATS:

BETTING ACTION AND LINE MOVEMENT:

The Fighting Irish opened as huge 16.5-point favorites with the total hitting betting boards at 133.5. As of Monday evening neither number has moved.

MATCHUP CHART:

TRENDS:

* Panthers are 2-5 ATS in their last 7 games vs. a team with a winning straight up record.
* Fighting Irish are 2-5 ATS in their last 7 neutral site games.
* Under is 38-15 in Panthers' last 53 vs. Atlantic Coast.
* Over is 5-1 in Fighting Irish's last 6 games following a straight up loss.
* Panthers are 4-0-1 ATS in the last 5 meetings.

Wake Forest Demon Deacons vs Syracuse Orange (-4, 133)

Syracuse and Wake Forest clash for the third time this season Tuesday as the 11th-seeded Orange and the 14th-seeded Demon Deacons meet in the first round of the ACC Tournament at the Barclays Center in Brooklyn, N.Y. The teams split the two meetings this season, with Wake Forest winning 73-67 at home Jan. 3 and Syracuse returning the favor 78-70 on Feb. 11.

The Orange come in feeling good about themselves after boosting their NCAA Tournament hopes with a much-needed marquee win as they edged No. 20 Clemson in their regular-season finale Saturday. Sophomore guard Tyus Battle and freshman forward Oshae Brissett each had 17 points to lead the way against Clemson and both were recognized by the league on Sunday, with Battle earning All-ACC second team honors and Brissett being named to the All-ACC freshman team. Battle is the offensive leader for the Orange and finished the season ranked third in ACC scoring at 20 points per game on 41 percent shooting while leading the NCAA in minutes per game (38.9).

Wake Forest's final regular-season game didn't go as well as it fell 64-56 at Georgia Tech on Saturday for its second consecutive loss. Bryant Crawford, the team's leading scorer (16.7), had 22 to lead Wake Forest against Georgia Tech for his ninth 20-point game of the season and sixth in conference play. Doral Moore, a 7-1 junior center, added 12 points and 13 rebounds for his 12th double-double of the season and was one of just two players to average a double-double in ACC action - with Duke's Marvin Bagley III being the other.

BETTING STATS:

BETTING ACTION AND LINE MOVEMENT:

Syracuse opened as 3-point favorites and that number was quickly pushed up slightly to -4. The total hit betting boards at 133 and has yet to move as of Monday night.

MATCHUP CHART:

TRENDS:

* Demon Deacons are 3-13 ATS in their last 16 vs. Atlantic Coast.
* Orange are 1-5 ATS in their last 6 neutral site games.
* Over is 4-0 in Demon Deacons' last 4 games vs. a team with a winning % above .600.
* Under is 4-1 in Orange's last 5 neutral site games.
* Over is 4-1 in the last 5 meetings.

West Coast Conference championship betting preview and odds: BYU vs. Gonzaga
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Brigham Young Cougars vs Gonzaga Bulldogs (-9.5, 144)

Game to be played at Orleans Arena, Las Vegas, Nevada

The West Coast Conference Tournament has been referred to as the Gonzaga Invitational by some college basketball experts, and for good reason. The No. 6 Zags, who advanced to the WCC title game for an amazing 21st consecutive year, will try to win their sixth straight WCC tourney and defeat BYU for the third time this season when they face the Cougars on Tuesday night in Las Vegas.

Top-seeded Gonzaga, which has won 16 consecutive WCC Tournament games and comes in on a 13-game winning streak, cruised into the finals with a 88-60 blowout of San Francisco on Monday as 6-foot-10 sophomore forward Killian Tillie celebrated his 20th birthday with a game-high 26 points, connecting on 10-of-11 shots including 5-of-5 3-pointers. "It's an unbelievable streak we have going," Gonzaga coach Mark Few told the Spokane Spokesman-Review on reaching 21 straight championship games. "It's never easy." The Zags will play sixth-seeded BYU, which upset 19th-ranked Saint Mary's 85-72 and has given the Zags a few problems since joining the WCC. The Cougars won three straight in Spokane from 2015-17, including a 79-71 victory last season when Gonzaga was 29-0 and ranked No. 1 in the nation.

TV: 9 p.m. ET, ESPN

BETTING STATS:

BETTING ACTION AND LINE MOVES:

Childs scored a career-high 33 points on 13-of-18 shooting, including 3-of-3 3-pointers, and had six rebounds while Bryant finished with 25 points in Monday's night's semifinal upset of Saint Mary's as BYU shot a blistering 61 percent from the floor.

Three other Zags are averaging in double figures: Junior guard Josh Perkins (12.4), who also leads the team in assists (5.3); guard Zach Norvell Jr. (12.0), who was named the WCC Freshman of the Year; and physical 6-foot-8 sophomore forward Rui Hachimura (11.5), who scored 17 points Monday.

- Few is 55-15 in WCC Tournament games and has won 16 titles.
