Armadillo: Friday's List of 13: Random stuff with the weekend here…….

13) Zion Williamson supposedly has a Grade 1 sprained knee; no one is saying how long he is out for. “Day-to-day” is the official word; seemed to me Wednesday that his injury wasn’t a minor thing. Hope the young man does what is best for him; he has a lot of money sitting on the table, waiting for him to grab it this spring/summer.

Then there is the other side of the coin…….

Kenyon Martin played college ball at Cincinnati; he was the #1 pick in the 2000 NBA draft. Martin broke his leg in the C-USA tournament his senior season, a situation not unlike Williamson’s Wednesday.

Martin went on to earn $113,035,975 in his NBA career, so most injuries do heal.

12) Bucks 98, Celtics 97— Is Milwaukee the quietest 44-14 team ever?

11) Cavaliers 111, Suns 98— Phoenix and the Knicks both have 11 wins; they play each other March 6. Will either team win a game before then?

10) Pittsburgh Steelers let star RB Le’Veon Bell walk; he will be a free agent when the new NFL year starts next month. Looks like Steelers will be without Bell and Antonio Brown, which means a much different offensive look for them next fall.

9) Western Kentucky is getting coach Rick Stansbury back this weekend; he had back surgery last weekend and has missed the last four games.

8) Steve Stricker will be the captain of the American team the next time they hold the Ryder Cup; he will be the first American captain ever who hasn’t won a major tournament.

7) Upsets of the night in college hoop:
— SIU-Edwardsville (+6.5) 85, Tennessee State 84
— UL-Monroe (+5.5) 63, Texas State 60
— San Francisco (+4) 77, BYU 71

6) Saw an old film clip today of the great QB Sonny Jurgensen back when he was playing for the Eagles in the early 60’s; while being rushed, he throws a pass behind his back, and completes it to a running back in the left flat.

Apparently it was an exhibition game in 1961 against the college all-stars; back then, the NFL champs played the college all-stars in the first exhibition game the next summer. Jurgensen was a really good QB and also a bit of a character.

5) Statistic I never would’ve guessed; who has scored the most runs this decade? How about Ian Kinsler, with 851. I would’ve sat here for an hour and not come up with that one.

4) Arena Football League has expanded to six teams for this season, adding Atlantic City and Columbus, OH to the league, joining Philadelphia, Washington, Baltimore and Albany.

3) AA Eastern League is moving to a split-season format, meaning the first/second half champs will meet in the playoffs. You wonder if the major leagues will consider something like that down the road someday, to re-boot interest in losing teams during the summer.

2) In case you were wondering, before the All-Star break, James Harden dribbled the ball 29,055 times, more than anyone else in the NBA.

1) Every time it snows here in beautiful upstate New York, I price condos in Las Vegas, but this week, it has snowed twice in Las Vegas, with the snow Wednesday night enough that there was a chance schools would be closed on Thursday. Their last school closing for snow was in 2008.

In case you were wondering, the city of Las Vegas owns two snow plows. Two.

Friday's Tip Sheet
Kevin Rogers

Indiana at Iowa – 9:00 PM EST

Both the Hawkeyes and Hoosiers are coming off tough losses in the final seconds at home on Tuesday. Iowa (20-6 SU, 12-14 ATS) had its four-game winning streak snapped in a 66-65 defeat to Maryland as 2 ½-point favorites. The Hawkeyes erased an 11-point deficit with six minutes remaining to grab a 65-64 advantage with 19 seconds left. Bruno Fernando’s tip-in gave the Terrapins the lead as a desperation three-pointer by Iowa fell short to prevent the Hawkeyes from a third straight win on a game-winning three.

Indiana (13-13 SU, 9-16 ATS) dropped their 11th game in 12 tries after suffering a 48-46 setback to rival Purdue. The Hoosiers managed a cover as six-point home underdogs, but IU fell to 0-6 SU in its last six games at Assembly Hall, while picking up their first ATS home win in conference play this season. Indiana limited Purdue to 31% shooting from the floor, but the Hoosiers shot 15-of-55 from the field, while hitting only 5-of-25 attempts from long range.

The Hoosiers beat Penn State to start their Big 10 road slate, but Archie Miller’s team has lost six of their last seven games away from Bloomington. For the exception of stunning Michigan State as 13 ½-point underdogs on February 2, the Hoosiers have lost by double-digits at Michigan, Purdue, and Minnesota, as the Gophers blasted Indiana, 84-63 last Saturday.

In two instances this season in which Iowa lost at home, the Hawkeyes fell short in their next contest in defeats at Michigan State and Minnesota. Iowa seeks the season sweep of Indiana after holding off the Hoosiers at Assembly Hall, 77-72 on February 7 as 2 ½-point underdogs. The victory was only the second in the last seven meetings for Iowa, while six of these matchups have sailed OVER the total.

Davidson at Rhode Island – 9:00 PM EST

Five games remain on the schedule for each of the 14 teams in the Atlantic 10 conference. Davidson (19-7 SU, 13-12 ATS) sits in second place in the A-10, one game behind VCU at 10-3 as the Wildcats are coming off only their third league defeat. Dayton led Davidson by 19 points with 9:30 minutes remaining in regulation, but the Wildcats stormed back to tie the game with 11 seconds left. The Flyers hit a late free throw to avoid a monumental meltdown and edge the Wildcats, 74-73 as 3 ½-point underdogs.

Davidson seeks the season sweep of Rhode Island (12-13 SU, 9-16 ATS) after dominating the Rams in the first matchup, 68-53 as four-point favorites. The Wildcats opening things up after owning a three-point halftime lead as Jon Axel Gudmundsson led Davidson with 20 points and 12 rebounds. When these teams met last season, Davidson beat URI by a combined three points in two wins, but the Rams were limited to fewer than 55 points for the sixth time this season.

URI looks to end a four-game losing streak after getting routed at VCU, 76-42 as seven-point underdogs. The Rams were ice-cold from the start by shooting 30% from the floor, including a 2-for-11 effort from three-point range. URI cashed its fifth consecutive UNDER ticket, while falling to 0-4 SU/ATS in its last four road contests. The Rams dropped their previous two home games to Dayton and Fordham, while being listed as a home underdog for the first time this season.

Ivy League Nuggets

Harvard (13-8 SU, 10-10 ATS) travels to Brown (15-9 SU, 9-10-3 ATS) as the Crimson are coming off a pair of road victories at Princeton and Penn last weekend. Following a shocking blowout loss at Dartmouth to tip off Ivy League play, Harvard has won six of its past seven conference contests, while posting a 4-0 ATS mark as long as it isn’t laying double-digits. The Bears are seeking consecutive Ivy wins for the first time this season after edging Columbia last Saturday. Harvard dominated Brown in its first matchup, 68-47 to easily cash as six-point favorites in early February 2.

The leader of the Ivy League heading into this weekend’s action is Yale (17-4 SU, 12-8 ATS), who owns a 7-1 record after outlasting Cornell, 98-92 last Saturday as 5 ½-point road favorites. The Bulldogs welcome in Dartmouth (11-13 SU, 11-8-3 ATS), who hung in a pair of close road losses at Penn and Princeton. The Big Green cashed in both those defeats as substantial underdogs, while improving to 4-1-1 ATS when receiving points in Ivy action. Yale crushed Dartmouth earlier this month, 89-68 as five-point road favorites to pick up its seventh consecutive victory in the series since 2016.

Both Cornell (13-11 SU, 11-11 ATS) and Princeton (13-8 SU, 9-10 ATS) sit in the middle of the Ivy League standings owning identical 5-3 conference marks. The Tigers outlasted the Big Red in overtime, 70-61 in early February as 1 ½-point road favorites, but Cornell has won four of five games since that setback. Cornell rode a four-game hot streak prior to a six-point home loss to Yale, while Princeton snapped a three-game skid in a 69-68 triumph over Dartmouth. In spite of the win, the Tigers are 0-4 ATS the last four games, including three non-covers in the favorite role.

Columbia (6-16 SU, 9-10-1 ATS) resides in last-place of the Ivy with a dreadful 1-7 record. The Lions lost for the fourth time in Ivy action by two points or less in last Saturday’s 65-63 home setback to Brown as one-point favorites. Columbia has managed covers the last two Friday nights as 10 ½-point underdogs at Harvard and a 9 ½-point ‘dog to Yale in close defeats. Columbia heads to Penn (15-9 SU, 12-11 ATS), who has alternated wins and losses in its past four games. The Quakers followed up an overtime win over Dartmouth with an overtime defeat to Harvard to fall to 1-2 in home league play. Penn slipped past Columbia in its first meeting, 72-70 earlier this month, but the Lions cashed as 5 ½-point underdogs.

Regular Season Conference Title Races Heat Up

Conference tournaments are rapidly approaching, and that means that post-season basketball and all the excitement it brings in the lose and your out atmosphere of the collegiate game is something bettors are gearing up for.

But players are gearing up for it as well, and with the first goal each season for nearly every team in the country being “win the conference title,” we are now approaching games where every win or loss matters that much more in terms of how attainable that goal ultimately is.

For the top teams in three respective “Big” conferences – Big 12, Big East, and Big 10 – this weekend's slate of games will go a long way in deciding who will be left standing come the final week. It's these games that should get extra attention from a betting perspective this weekend, as it may serve you well to take a more analytical approach to these contests with motivation levels likely not going to be an issue.

So let's take a look at what a few of the teams in the hunt in those respective conferences have ahead of them this weekend.

Can Marquette maintain control atop the Big East?

Thanks to two straight losses, the Villanova Wildcats now find themselves looking up at Marquette in the Big East standings in a race that's only been between the two of them for a few weeks now. Marquette currently holds the edge in both the loss column (2) and the head-to-head matchup with Villanova, but the return match is coming up in Villanova on Wednesday. Before that, the Golden Eagles have to make sure they take care of business on the road in Providence on Saturday.

Marquette has been rolling of late (9-3 ATS with two of those three ATS losses coming by the 'hook') and their comeback effort over Butler on Wednesday night was impressive. They now make a trip to Providence on Saturday – a team they've already beaten by 11 this year – and it's not hard to argue that on the surface it has the look and feel of a possible “trap” or “sandwich” spot for Marquette. They know that a win in Villanova next week will all but lock up the Big East crown for them, and it's hard not to have one eye on that matchup as it is.

So depending on the point spread that comes out, it may be worth a look at taking points with the likely home dog in Providence. The Friars have not played up to expectations this season, but they just blasted a good St John's team for the second time this year, and can be a tough out on their own floor against anyone.

Finally, it's not like Villanova has an easy test ahead of them either this weekend, as they've got a road game @ Xavier on Sunday before that big showdown with Marquette, and it's a game the Wildcats should go into it with the feeling that they've got to have it. Obviously that may change should Marquette fall the day before, and that too, is something to consider should it happen as you make your way through handicapping the Big East action this weekend.

Will anyone seize control in the Big 12?

Kansas State enters the weekend with a one-game lead over Texas Tech and Kansas in the Big 12 standings, but Iowa State and Baylor are still lurking as well, just two games back themselves. All 10 teams in the conference are in action on Saturday, with the biggest matchup being Kansas @ Texas Tech where the loser can likely kiss their regular season title hopes goodbye.

Kansas won the first meeting in dominant fashion (79-63), but the Jayhawks have consistently been a much worse team away from home this year (2-4 SU in conference road games), and it will be interesting to see if that trend holds up. After all, the Jayhawks have at least held a share of the Big 12 regular season crown for 14 straight years and it would be quite the blow to see that streak end this year.

Among the leaders, Kansas State has a more favorable matchup on Saturday as they host Oklahoma State, beating the Cowboys by 17 in Stillwater earlier this year. But like Marquette's game on Saturday, this K-State/OK State game has quite the feel of a potential bad spot for the Wildcats, as they've got their final showdown against hated Kansas on deck.

That's not particularly a great spot to be in as the likely decisive home favorites Kansas State projects to be against the Cowboys, and I'd likely only look to take the points with Oklahoma State here, depending on the spread. It's not like Kansas State's offense can blow people out of the water as it is, and a lapse in mental focus for good teams in games they are expected to win easy, always tends to show itself on the defensive end first.

Control of the Big 10 up for grabs as well

There is essentially a three-way tie atop the Big 10 entering the weekend between Michigan State, Michigan, and Purdue, with the latter being the only one in action on Saturday. Sunday's the big day for the other two as we get our first Michigan State/Michigan matchup of the year, and the winner there will definitely have a leg up in obtaining the regular season title.

Both of those Michigan schools will know whether or not Purdue was able to keep pace, and with the Boilermakers on the road in Nebraska on Saturday, I wouldn't pencil it in that Purdue will be able to stay tied in the race with Sunday's eventual winner.

Nebraska's really fallen on some hard times for the past month as they made their way through the meat of their conference schedule. A 1-9 ATS record over their past 10 games doesn't inspire much confidence in backing them in a spot like this, but what it should do is give them a bit of line value on the number that may be worthy of consideration.

Having been blown out by 19 points in Purdue earlier this year, Nebraska will be catching a few points in this spot, and depending on how many points that number ends up being, it may be the right side to take. Purdue has looked very beatable on the road lately, as their last three road games have seen the Boilermakers – need a buzzer-beater to beat Indiana this week, lose by 14 at Maryland prior to that, and need OT to get by Penn State. That's a sign to me that this team still has some travelling concerns to iron out, Nebraska would love nothing more to try and get their issues corrected by knocking off a top team in the conference at the same time.

Buffalo Smoulders

Say what you will about the Buffalo Bulls, but those guys can score. The Bulls (-15.5) enter Friday night's MAC encounter with the Kent State Golden Flashes fresh off a 114-67 evisceration of the Ohio Bobcats on Tuesday. It's the third time the Bulls have scored at least 110 points in a game this season, a major reason why they're ranked fourth in the nation in scoring average at 85.9 points per game. And Buffalo has responded well following a triple-digit outburst in recent history, having gone 5-1 ATS in their past six games in that situation. The Bulls also rank second in average home scoring margin at +24.0.

Duke Undermanned at the Dome

It was the Sneaker Tear Heard 'Round the World – and it could result in the consensus No. 1 prospect in the country out of the Duke Blue Devils' lineup for a while. Zion Williamson suffered a mild knee sprain after ripping his shoe just 33 seconds into Duke's 88-72 home loss to rival North Carolina on Wednesday night, and will miss for the Blue Devils' Saturday encounter with Syracuse at the daunting Carrier Dome. The Under might be the superior play in this one; Duke is 7-17-2 O/U for the season and could struggle to replace Williamson's 21.6 points per game, while Syracuse is 5-12-0 O/U at home.

Another Big Win?

North Carolina's 16-point road win over the rival Blue Devils puts the Tar Heels on the fast track to a major rankings boost – but they can ill afford to take it easy Saturday as they host the nationally-ranked Florida State Seminoles. North Carolina saw its national title odds jump to +1,300 with the victory in Duke and are in good shape to keep the good times rolling: The eighth-ranked Tar Heels have covered seven of their past nine games and are 9-3 ATS in their previous 12 following a victory. But the 16th-ranked Seminoles are no slouch, as they come in on a five-game cover streak of their own.

Points A-Plenty in Ann Arbor

Oddsmakers often tab games between Michigan and Michigan State as low-scoring affairs – but the Wolverine State rivals have filled the bucket in their recent encounters and will look to do the same as they face off Sunday in Ann Arbor. The Wolverines and Spartans have converted the over in eight of their previous 10 meetings dating back to the start of 2014, including the past three encounters – each won and covered by Michigan. The winning team produced 75 or more points in each of those eight overs, with the final score exceeding the total by double digits six times in that stretch.

Mid-Major to Watch: Yale Bulldogs (17-4 SU, 12-8 ATS, 9-11 O/U)

You won't see many Ivy League teams in this space but given that the conference will produce at least one NCAA Tournament entrant this year, it's only fair to look at which team might make it to March Madness. And the Bulldogs enter the weekend with the best shot at representing the Ivy League in the final 68, leading Harvard by one game – with its only conference loss coming to the Crimson earlier this month. There's a decent chance Yale will be able to exact its revenge in Saturday's rematch.

The Bulldogs have boasted a surprisingly potent offense, ranking 30th in Division I in field goal percentage (49.3) and 30th in scoring average (81.0 points per game). Throw in a top-15 rebounding attack (40.5 per game) and it's easy to see why Yale has positioned itself to make just its second March Madness appearance in 57 years. The Bulldogs have a busy weekend ahead, facing off against Dartmouth on Friday before their hotly anticipated rematch with Harvard on Saturday.

National Title Odds

Duke still has plenty of real estate between itself and the rest of the pack in terms of national championship odds, but the gap has shrunk a little. The Blue Devils are down to +225 to win the NCAA title, and could slip further depending on how they play with Williamson sidelined. Gonzaga remains second in the odds race but has moved up to +850.

Betting Trends

Home underdogs are strong ATS options heading into one of the final weekends of the regular season, having converted at better than a 57-percent clip over the previous seven days worth of games. Home teams in general have been the superior cover option over the past week, making good nearly 53 percent of the time.

Overs were the play earlier in the week, but the under has quickly regained its superiority with a 50.7-percent conversion rate over the previous week; non-overtime games went under 53.6 percent of the time. The under is at 52.2 percent on all games over the past 30 days and sits at a healthy 51.9 percent for the season.

Ole Miss is turning heads as a sensational double threat. The Rebels own the second-best overall ATS record among Division I teams, having covered 19 of their 26 games so far this season to go along with an 18-8 SU record. But times have been a bit tougher of late, with Ole Miss having won outright and covered in just three of its past nine games.
