Quote of the Day:
“I support Mason Rudolph not only because I know him, but also because I was on that field immediately following the altercation with Myles Garrett, and subsequently after the game. I interacted with a lot of people in the Cleveland Browns organization — players and coaches. If Mason said what Myles claimed, it would have come out during the many interactions I had with those in the Browns’ organization. In my conversations, I had a lot of expressions of sorrow for what transpired.”
Mike Tomlin

Sunday’s List of 13: Wrapping up a sports Saturday…….

13) 12 of college hoop’s top 25 teams played on road Saturday; eight of them lost.

12) Maryland 67, Michigan State 60:
— Terps outscored MSU 14-0 over final 3:24 of game.
— Maryland led by 15 in first half.
— Spartans lost four of their last five games.

11) Cal-Fullerton 105, Cal Poly 101, 4OT:
— First time they met, Cal Poly won 101-100 in OT.
— Fullerton was 37-53 on foul line, Cal Poly 29-36
— Titans made 10-19 on arc, still needed 4 OT’s to win.

10) Kentucky 67, Ole Miss 62— Rebels led by 7 with 9:58 left, but had their 3-game win streak snapped, as Wildcats won despite going 2-22 on arc. Kermit Davis is a very good coach; Ole Miss was 1-7 in SEC at one point, but Davis has made the #251 experience team a much better team.

9) Mississippi State 78, Arkansas 77— Bulldogs blew a 17-point lead, then put a rebound back in for game-winning hoop with less than a second to play. Miss State is an old school team; they took 44 2-point shots, were only 3-7 on the arc. Only senior who played for State was Tyson Carter- he gave them 26 points off the bench.

8) Florida State 80, Syracuse 77— Seminoles bounced back from Duke loss, winning game they trailed by 11 in with 12:11 left. Syracuse played six guys basically; a 7th guy played only 7:00. None of the seven guys are seniors; only Hofstra’s subs play less than Syracuse subs.

7) Upsets:
— Georgetown (+11) 73, Butler 66
— Incarnate Word (+10) 67, New Orleans 66
— LMU (+7.5) 65, Santa Clara 59
— George Washington (+7) 73, George Mason 67
— Maryland (+7) 67, Michigan State 60
— Bowling Green (+7) 77, Ball State 71
— Md-Eastern Shore (+6.5) 66, Bethune-Cookman 58
— Clemson (+6) 77, Louisville 62
— Western Carolina (+6) 80, Wofford 74

6) Colorado State 77, Wyoming 70— Rams outscored their rivals 14-0 over final 2:26 to get out of Laramie with win, after they trailed by 19 with 14:06 left. State was 26-40 on foul line; not often a road team takes 40 foul shots in a game.

5) Loyola 82, Northern Iowa 73 OT— Loyola butchered end of regulation, not fouling when they led by 3 and still had fouls to give in last 0:05— UNI hit a 3-pointer to tie game, but Ramblers had a strong overtime and closed to within one game of the Panthers atop the MVC standings.

4) Virginia 64, North Carolina 62— Virginia tore the Tar Heels’ heart out of their chest, making a 3-pointer with 0:00.6 left in game. Carolina lost its last five games, is 3-11 in the ACC.

3) Richmond 77, VCU 59— Spiders avenge an earlier loss to their crosstown rival; they’ve won four games in row, are up to 19-6 this season, 9-3 in A-14.

2) Florida 84, Vanderbilt 66— They named the court in Gainesville after Billy Donovan last night; think about it- since 2001, the ’07 Gators are the only defending national champ to get to the Elite 8. They won consecutive national titles, very difficult in this era of college ball, where kids bolt to pro basketball as soon as they make two layups in a row.

1) Providence 74, Seton Hall 71— Friars led this game 34-9….34-9!!!! Lot of people are picking Seton Hall to get to the Final Four, but they’ve lost three of last five games. NCAA Tournament is going to be very difficult to predict. Lot of wildly erratic teams out there.

Monday’s quiz
George Washington was the first President of the United States; who was the first Vice-President?

Sunday’s quiz
Cal-Irvine’s sports teams are known as the Anteaters.

Saturday’s quiz
Peyton Manning was the first pick in the 1998 NFL Draft; Ryan Leaf was the #2 pick.

************************************************** ******************************

Monday’s List of 13: Wrapping up a sports weekend…….

13) Four years ago, James Madison fired basketball coach Matt Brady after consecutive seasons of 19-14/21-11, when they went 23-13 in conference games. Brady coached the Dukes for eight years, making the NCAA Tournament once. Apparently, that wasn’t enough.

In four years since, JMU is 43-80 overall, 21-47 in conference play. Maybe they should bring Brady back as coach.

12) It has been 20 years since a Big 14 team won the college basketball national title; Michigan State in 2000 was the least team to do that.

11) If you’re a college basketball coach and you have several sons of former NBA players on your team, I’d say thats a pretty good endorsement for your program.

This year, Cal-Irvine has Collin Welp, Jeron Artest; last year, they had Spencer Rivers, Max Hazzard, JC Butler. Russell Turner is a former NBA assistant coach who has built the Anteaters into the best program in the Big West, 95-30 in conference games the last eight years.

10) New Red Sox acquisition Alex Verdugo is still rehabilitating from a stress fracture in his lower back, an injury that sidelined him for the lasttwo months of 2019 and the playoffs. He will likely start 2020 on the injured list.

I’m guessing Red Sox fans aren’t overly excited by this news; Boston’s front office did know about the injury before they made the big trade.

9) Season flies by; on Saturday Elon was the first D-I team this season to have their Senior Day. Conference tournaments will be starting in a couple of weeks.

8) Texas Tech has a basketball player named Jahmi’us Ramsey who is making 45.5% of his 3-point shots, but only 62.5% of his foul shots. How is it possible that a kid can be so prolific on the arc, but so erratic on the charity stripe?

7) Upsets:
— Ill-Chicago (+9) 73, Northern Kentucky 43
— Iowa (+5) 58, Minnesota 55
— Loyola Md (+5) 84, Colgate 80
— Boston College (+4.5) 71, NC State 68
— Niagara (+3.5) 77, Monmouth 72
— Missouri State (+3.5) 71, Indiana State 58

6) Shaquille O’Neal’s son Shareef is transferring from UCLA to LSU; not sure why it didn’t work out for him at UCLA, but LSU is Shaq’s alma mater, and I’m guessing he’s a big donor to the school, so what happens if the young man doesn’t play well at LSU? Could be very awkward.

5) On March 13, a new basketball league starts in Africa, with 12 teams representing six countries on that continent. NBA is sponsoring the league, as they work towards growing the game world-wide.

4) NHL’s Vegas Golden Knights have a good TV commercial on their local TV channel; fathers of players reading mean tweets from “fans” while the son sits there and listens. Solid stuff.

3) Won’t be posting any prop bets on home runs this season; will the baseballs be juiced like they were last year? Will they be normal again? Important information to have for prop bets.

2) They moved the bullpens off the field in San Francisco to behind the fence in right-conter field, so the dimensions there are a little shorter this year. Miami also moved its fences in a little bit this season. If the Marlins wanted more home runs, maybe they should’ve kept Stanton, Ozuna and Yelich. Just a thought.

1) UConn 64, Memphis 61— Tigers are least-experienced team in country; they’ve lost three games in a row, are 17-8, 6-6 in AAC, and are quickly falling off the bubble, despite having the best eFG% defense in country.

Monday's Tip Sheet
David Schwab

ESPN’s Big Monday in college basketball closes out the extended Presidents’ Day weekend with a pair of matchups in the ACC and Big 12.

The early games pits the North Carolina Tar Heels against the Notre Dame Fighting Irish in South Bend. Later Monday night, the Iowa State Cyclones will be on the road against the No. 3 Kansas Jayhawks.

North Carolina Tar Heels at Notre Dame Fighting Irish
(ESPN, 7:00 p.m. ET)

Opening Odds: Notre Dame -4, Total 147.5

Betting Matchup

The Tar Heels continue to struggle in conference play with a straight-up five-game losing streak. The latest setback was Saturday’s tight 64-62 loss to Virginia as slight 1 ½-point home favorites. They are 3-11 SU in the ACC and 10-15 overall. North Carolina has still managed to go 5-3 against the spread over its past eight outings with the total going OVER or ending as a PUSH in five of those games.

The Tar Heels did manage to score 62 points on the stingiest defense in the nation. They are averaging 71.0 points per game but giving up 71.5 points on defense.

Notre Dame had its hands full against Duke on Saturday in a lopsided 94-60 final score as a 12 ½-point road underdog. This was the first time the Fighting Irish (15-10 SU and ATS) failed to cover in their last seven games. They are 6-8 SU (9-5 ATS) in ACC play. They started their season with a 76-65 road loss against North Carolina as 9 ½-point underdogs.

The total has gone OVER in seven of their last nine outings. Notre Dame (74.5 PPG) has failed to score more than 61 points in each of its last three games.

Betting Trends

-- The Tar Heels are 1-6 SU in their last seven road games with a 4-3 record ATS. The total has stayed UNDER in five of those seven contests.

-- The Fighting Irish have won seven of their last 10 home games both SU and ATS. The total has also gone OVER in seven of those 10 games.

-- Starting with that earlier win, North Carolina has won the last seven meetings SU with the slight 4-3 edge ATS. The total has stayed UNDER in seven of the last eight games between these two teams.


Iowa State Cyclones at Kansas Jayhawks
(ESPN, 9:00 p.m. ET)

Opening Odds: Kansas -15.5, Total 141

Betting Matchup

Saturday’s 81-52 romp over Texas as three-point home favorites was just the Cyclones’ second SU win in their last seven games with a 3-4 record ATS. They are 4-8 SU in Big 12 play and 11-14 overall. Iowa State faced Kansas on Jan. 8 at home and came up well short in a 79-53 loss as a 5 ½-point underdog. The total stayed UNDER 146 points in that game but it has gone OVER or ended as a PUSH in six of its last eight contests.

Michael Jacobson scored a season-high 21 points against Texas and Solomon Young and Prentiss Nixon each added 17 points in one of the Cyclones’ best efforts in recent weeks.

Kansas was able to extend its current SU winning streak to 10 games with Saturday’s 87-70 victory against Oklahoma. The Jayhawks (22-3 SU, 15-10 ATS) closed as 11 ½-point home favorites to cover for the third time in a row. They are 11-1 SU (8-4 ATS) in conference play to remain one game in back of No. 1 Baylor for the conference lead. The total went OVER 136 points in Saturday’s win after staying UNDER in four of their previous five games.

Marcus Garrett scored a career-high 24 points in that game with sophomore guard Devon Dotson (18.0 PPG) adding 19 points in the romp.

Betting Trends

-- The Cyclones have lost eight of their last 10 road games SU closing as underdogs but they have covered the spread in five of those games. The total has gone OVER in three of their last four road games getting points.

-- The Jayhawks are 10-1 SU in their last 11 home games closing as favorites but they have failed to cover in five of those last seven games. The total has gone OVER in four of the last five home games as favorites.

-- With the earlier win this season, Kansas is 4-2 SU in its last six games against Iowa State with an 8-2 record ATS over the last 10 meetings. The total has stayed UNDER or ended as a PUSH in three of the last four matchups.

Tuesday’s 6-pack
NBA trends to ponder…….
— Atlanta Hawks: 3-8 ATS in last 11 road games.
— Boston Celtics 5-2-1 ATS last eight home games.
— Brooklyn Nets won/covered its last five home games.
— Chicago Bulls are 3-9-1 ATS in last 13 road games.
— Cleveland Cavaliers are 3-10 ATS in last 13 home games.
— Seven of last nine Dallas Maverick games went over the total.


Quote of the Day:
“He has the worst (bleep)ing diet ever. He has like five French toast, drowns it in syrup with strawberries and bananas. Then he has like a four-egg omelette and then he goes and just (bleep)ing dunks on somebody. He eats desserts with every meal…..he loves sweets. It is crazy how his body just burns it.”
Tristan Thompson, talking about Lebron James’ eating habits

Tuesday’s quiz
Who was basketball coach at North Carolina before they hired Roy Williams?

Monday’s quiz
George Washington was the first President of the United States; John Adams was the first Vice-President.

Sunday’s quiz
Cal-Irvine’s sports teams are known as the Anteaters.

************************************************** ********

Tuesday’s List of 13: Nobody asked me, but…….

13) Random idea to raise money for charity in the summer:
— A 64 player 1-on-1 tournament.
— Two players from each NBA team, with four Wild Card additions.
— When they show the brackets, it would be highly-anticipated TV.
— Each player picks a charity of his choice and earns $$$ for that charity.
— Games are to 20, have to win by 3 points (shots outside arc are 2 points).

Would be difficult to get all the star players on board, but it would be great fun.

12) XFL observations:
— Home teams won six of the first eight games.
— Home favorites are 3-2 ATS, home underdogs 1-2
— Six of eight games stayed under the total.

11) Much like the AAF last year, quarterback play in this spring league is sub-par; thinking back to the USFL in the 80’s, they had Jim Kelly, Doug Flutie, Doug Williams, Steve Young, Bobby Hebert, Brian Sipe, John Reaves— NFL quarterbacks, which is part of what made it so good.

The XFL has been fun to watch so far, but it ain’t the NFL, which is fine.

10) Most interesting part of the XFL so far is the extra point; you cannot kick a PAT, you have three options:
— A one-point conversion from 2-yard line (6-22)
— A two-point conversion from 5-yard line (3-14)
— A three-point conversions from 10-years line (1-2)

So a 9-point game is still a one-possession game; there is no set-in-stone strategy on what is the smart thing to do. Coaches are learning on the fly, which is interesting to observe.

9) XFL teams are running an average of 61.4 plays per game; New York ran only 45-47 plays in their first two games, St Louis ran 71-83 plays in its two games.

8) Defenses are usually ahead of offenses early in any season; we’ll see if the scoring goes up as the season moves along.

7) Xavier 77, St John’s 74— Fast-paced, fun game to watch; Musketeers get their 11th straight win over St John’s. Xavier improves to 17-9, 6-7 in Big East play.

6) In his Hall of Fame career, Tony Gwynn his .302 in at-bats after he had two strikes on him. From 1974-2019, the next best average in that situation? Wade Boggs, at .262.

Some college basketball notes…….
5) Pac-12: Four teams are tied for first in loss column, with four losses. USC/UCLA are both 8-5, a game out of first place. Arizona-Colorado-Oregon look like locks for the tournament; rest of the league is beating each other up.

4) Big 14: If you had a Maryland/Penn State exacta to win the league, you’re looking good right now. Rutgers is trying for its first NCAA Tournament bid since 1991; they could use a road win or two to strengthen their case.

3) Selection Sunday figures to be more dramatic than usual; the bubble is overcrowded, Lots of mediocre/pretty good teams. 15-20 teams can legitimately win the national title, but most of those teams could also lose their first round games. It is that wide open.

2) I’ve said this before, but no conference should get more than eight teams into the NCAA Tournament; if you finish 9th in a league, you don’t deserve to play for the national title, no matter how good your league is.

1) Notre Dame 77, North Carolina 76— Tar Heels are having the season from hell; they had a 15-point lead with 8:39 left in this game, but lost on a 3-pointer with 0:01.6 left. UNC is 3-12 in ACC games, they’re in last place- six of their last seven losses were by 6 or fewer points.

Tuesday's Tip Sheet
David Schwab

A pair of Top 5 college basketball teams in the Atlantic 10 and the Big 12 face a test on the road this Tuesday night as the featured betting showdowns on the board.

The early game pits the No. 5 Dayton Flyers on the road against the VCU Rams. The No. 1 team in the nation will also be in action with the Baylor Bears heading to Norman to face the Oklahoma Sooners.

No. 5 Dayton Flyers at VCU Rams
(CBS Sports Network, 8:30 p.m. ET)

Opening Odds: Dayton -3, Total 143

Betting Matchup

Dayton has a game and half lead over Rhode Island atop the Atlantic 10 standings at a perfect 12-0 straight-up. It is 23-2 overall and the current winning streak stretches to 14 games going back to late December. The Flyers are 13-11-1 against the spread after failing to cover in four of their last five games. The total has stayed UNDER in three of their last four games. Sophomore guard Obi Toppin posted 19 points in Saturday’s 71-63 road win against UMass. He continues to lead Dayton in scoring with 19.7 points per game. The team is averaging 81.2 points on the year.

The Rams are a bubble team at best for this year’s NCAA Tournament at 17-8 SU overall. They did nothing to help their cause with back-to-back losses (SU and ATS) to George Mason at home and to Richmond on the road in their last two games. They are just 1-3 (SU and ATS) over their last four games with the total going OVER or ending as a PUSH in seven of their last nine contests. VCU lost its first game against Dayton this season 79-65 on Jan. 14 as a 8 ½-point road underdog. It is averaging 72.0 PPG and giving up 64.3 points a game on defense.

Betting Trends

-- The Flyers are 9-1 SU in their last 10 road games but that record fall to an even 5-5 ATS. The total has gone OVER or ended as a PUSH in seven of their last 10 games on the road.

-- The Rams have won eight of their last 10 home games SU and they have covered ATS in three of their last four games at home. The total has gone OVER or ended as a PUSH in their last four home games.

-- Dayton’s earlier win snapped a four-game losing streak to VCU both SU and ATS. The total has gone OVER in the last eight games between the two.


No. 1 Baylor Bears at Oklahoma Sooners
(ESPN2, 9:00 p.m. ET)

Opening Odds: Baylor -3.5, Total 134.5

Betting Matchup

The Bears will be going for the series sweep after beating Oklahoma 61-57 on Jan. 20 as 10 ½-point home favorites. Saturday’s 70-59 home victory over West Virginia as five-point favorites ran their SU unbeaten streak to 22 games. A SU win on Tuesday would set a Big 12 record. Baylor is 23-1 SU overall with a 16-8 record ATS after going 5-2 ATS in its last seven games. The total has stayed UNDER in four of its last six outings. Jared Butler put up 21 points against West Virginia. The sophomore guard leads Baylor in scoring with 15.3 PPG.

Oklahoma is an even 6-6 SU in conference play following Saturday’s 87-70 road loss to Kansas as an 11 ½-point underdog. This snapped a four-game winning streak ATS while going 3-2 SU in the same five-game span. The total has gone OVER in three of those last five games. The Sooners are 16-9 SU with a 11-13-1 record ATS. They have a trio of players scoring at least 14 points a game as part of a 71.6-point team scoring average. Oklahoma’s defense is allowing 68.0 PPG at the other end of the court.

Betting Trends

-- The Bears have gone a perfect 7-0 SU on the road this season while covering the closing spread in six of those games. The total has stayed UNDER in nine of 12 conference games this season.

-- The Sooners are 11-1 SU in 12 home games this year but that record drops to 5-6-1 ATS. The total has gone OVER in three of their last five games at home.

-- With this year’s win, Baylor is 7-3 SU in its last 10 games against Oklahoma with a 6-3-1 record ATS. The total has stayed UNDER in eight of the last 10 meetings.
