Quote of the Day:
“I’m disappointed in our group. I didn’t think we came the way we should and the way we’ve practiced. We show our youth so much…. This is our 28th game. You’d hope that we’d be older by now, but we were not tonight.”
Mike Krzyzewski, after Duke lost to Wake Forest Tuesday

Thursday’s quiz
Where did ABA/NBA great Julius Erving play his college basketball?

Wednesday’s quiz
The great comedian Bill Murray has a son who is an assistant basketball coach at Louisville.

Tuesday’s quiz
New Orleans Saints have gone the longest since drafting a QB in the first round; they took Archie Manning in the first round of the 1971 draft.

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

Thursday’s Den: Doing some thinking out loud…….

13) Maryland 74, Minnesota 73— Terps have won 10 of their last 11 games; they were down 16 at halftime in this game. Maryland outscored Minnesota 5-0 over final 0:31. Terps led this game for all of 0:24, but they were the right 0:24.

Richard Pitino has been Minnesota’s coach for seven years; they’re 125-106 under Pitino, but only 47-80 in conference games, 1-2 in NCAA tourney games.

If Minnesota/Pitino part ways, the Gophers have to hire Louisville assistant Luke Murray, just so his father, the great comedian Bill Murray, would finally have to root for the Gophers.

12) I think ESPN’s work has mostly gone downhill the last several years, but one thing that remains a quality product is when Scott Van Pelt does the late SportsCenter; his “Bad Beats” segment is an one, especially if you enjoy handicapping.

Couple of years ago, I’m waiting for a friend to finish work at a sportsbook in Las Vegas; it is just before midnight on Christmas Eve, so there were maybe ten of us scattered about sitting there, watching the late SportsCenter, when Bad Beats came on.

When you’re sitting by yourself in a casino on Christmas Eve, it ain’t exactly the highlight of the social season, but the next few minutes were filled with laughter and a few groans as Van Pelt went over some agonizing wagering losses from the past few days. One guy starting yelling about the coach who cost him one big wager; his buddies laughed at him. Good stuff.

11) Arkansas 86, Tennessee 69— Razorbacks have Isaiah Joe back in lineup; they went 0-5 when he was out hurt. Joe scored 22 in this game, going 12-12 on foul line.

10) Penn State 65, Rutgers 64— Nittany Lions blew a 21-point lead, then won the game on a 3-pointer with 0:28 left. PSU was only 14-22 on foul line; Rutgers was 6-11. Scarlet Knights lost six of their last eight games, look like they’re headed to the NIT.

9) South Carolina 94, Georgia 90 OT— I once walked past Gamecocks’ coach Frank Martin at an AAU tournament in Florida; the guy looks like he has a set of NFL shoulder pads under his skin, he is that big. Very large, strong-looking person.

During games, Martin has a scowl that makes me straighten up in my chair sitting at home in my living room. I would not want Frank Martin to be mad at me. Ever.

South Carolina won this game, despite going 23-37 on foul line, which made Martin frown a few times; Gamecocks are 9-4 in their last 13 games- they can see the bubble from where they are, but they’re not quite there yet.

8) Much like the swallows returning to Capistrano each spring, Giancarlos Stanton is hurt again, and will likely miss Opening Day. He has a calf strain now. Oy.

Stanton is making $26M this year; he played in 18 games LY. He’s played in 130+ games four times in his 10-year major league career.

Does he train properly? Does he lift weights too much? One of the great abilities is availability, and Stanton is unavailable way too often.

7) Upsets:
— Binghamton (+9) 76, UMBC 74
— Hartford (+7.5) 65, Stony Brook 54
— UMass (+5.5) 60, VCU 52
— Lehigh (+5) 57, Boston U 55
— Duquesne (+4.5) 81, St Bonaventure 77 OT
— Furman (+4.5) 81, NC-Greensboro 67

6) Florida 81, LSU 66— Florida’s coach is Mike White, whose dad is the AD at Duke. White’s family moved around a lot when he was a kid, as his dad kept getting better jobs. They said on this broadcast that when he was a kid, Mike White lived in 14 different states!!!!

I’ve lived in four houses/apartments my whole life, all within 20 miles of each other.

5) UNLV 76, Boise State 66— Rebels are hot, winning last four games, including giving San Diego State its only loss of the season. You watch UNLV play; their players are moving well without the ball, creating easy baskets. A much improved team that is now in 4th place in the Mountain West.

By the way, they moved the Mountain West tournament up a week this year; it is next week, possibly to avoid competition with the Pac-12 tournament at T-Mobile Arena.

4) Furman 81, NC-Greensboro 67— Road team won both series games this year; these teams are likely to meet again, in SoCon semi-finals. SoCon is an underrated league that needs more TV time.

3) Cavaliers 108, 76ers 94— Joel Embiid (shoulder) left this game early; with Ben Simmons already out, going to be.a rough few weeks for the Sixers if Embiid’s injury is serious.

2) One sportsbook posted an over/under of 83.5 for Astros hitters getting drilled by pitches this season; in their first five spring training games, seven Houston batters were plunked.

Take the over.

1) Mets have a minor league OF named David Thompson who wears #44; am wondering if #44 has anything to do with the great college basketball player David Thompson, who wore #44 when NC State won the college hoop national title in 1974.

Thompson wore #33 as a pro in the ABA/NBA for the Denver Nuggets.

NBA knowledge for a Friday night:
— Minnesota is 3-7 ATS in its last ten road games.
— Atlanta is 1-4-1 ATS in its last six games.
— Hornets are 2-6-1 ATS in last nine road games.
— Over is 14-8 in last 22 Dallas games.
— Sacramento is 5-2-1 ATS if it played night before.
— Thunder are 8-0 ATS if they played the night before.

Quote of the Day:
“Penny has lost two of his three best players for huge, huge, huge chunks of the season and they’re still gonna win 20 games. But it’s Memphis; people just see that they lost. Nobody actually reads between the lines, sees the mitigating factors.”
An opposing coach, talking about Memphis Tigers

Friday’s quiz
When was last time Duke won the ACC’s regular season basketball title?

Thursday’s quiz
ABA/NBA great Julius Erving played college basketball at UMass.

Wednesday’s quiz
The great comedian Bill Murray has a son who is an assistant basketball coach at Louisville.

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

Friday’s List of 13: Random stuff with weekend here……

13) Most important part of the NFL Combine are the interviews teams do with prospective draft picks. The running and workouts and measurements have their value, but game tape means more than any workout ever will. Workouts can trick people into making draft mistakes.

That said, Arizona State punter Michael Turk beat all 33 WR’s and all the tight ends but one in weightlifting Thursday at the Combine. Very, very unusual.

12) USC 57, Arizona 48— Our Bill Walton non-basketball facts of the night:
— Thursday was the great writer John Steinbeck’s birthday.
— USC has more graduate students than non-graduate students.
— USC’s campus is 226 acres, smallest campus in the Pac-12.

11) Purdue 57, Indiana 49— This was an awful game to watch, tons of effort, no offense, but the most interesting thing here was Hoosiers coach Archie Miller having a VERY animated talk with assistant coach Bruiser Flint on the bench, during the game.

Rough night for the Miller family, with neither Arizona/Indiana scoring 50 points.

Indiana is only 8-9 in conference and they got swept by their rival here, but it is very unusual to see coaches jawing at each other during a game.

10) North Dakota State 71, South Dakota State 69 OT— These teams are now tied for first place in Summit League, clearly best teams in league; league tournament is at a neutral site, so not a huge deal, but sharing the regular season title means something.

9) Wichita State 72, Temple 69— Shockers ended game on a 14-4 run, giving coach Marshall a win on his 57th birthday; they’re 21-7 and a bubble team.

8) Wisconsin 81, Michigan 74— Badgers won five of seven games since starting G Kobe King quit the team; there is such a thing as addition by subtraction. Badgers scored 76.3 ppg in their last three games.

7) California 76, Colorado 62— Red flag for a veteran team like Colorado, getting squashed on the road by a scrappy but sub-par Cal squad.

6) Upsets:
— California (+9) 76, Colorado 62
— Towson (+7.5) 76, Hofstra 65
— Cleveland State (+7) 70, Milwaukee 68
— Wisconsin (+6.5) 81, Michigan 74
— SIU-Edwardsville (+5) 90, Tenn-Martin 75

Some notes on NBA teams playing back/back nights:
5) Best teams ATS when playing for 2nd night in a row:
Thunder 8-0, Bucks 7-1, Lakers/Wizards 6-1

4) Worst teams ATS when playing for 2nd night in a row:
Pistons 2-8, Hawks 2-7-1, Wolves 1-5-1, Knicks 1-5-2, Pacers 1-4-1

3) Milwaukee is 7-1 ATS if they played the night before, but they won all eight games; their only non-cover was a 137-129 (-14) win over Portland November 29.

2) New Orleans hasn’t had any back/backs since Zion Williamson started playing; am curious how they’ll handle that when they play next Tuesday/Wednesday.

NCAA Basketball Preview and Odds - Davidson at Dayton, Trends, Notes for A-10 matchup
David Schwab

The top betting matchup on Friday night’s limited schedule of college basketball games is an Atlantic 10 tilt featuring one of the best teams in the nation.

Kicking off Friday night’s action, the Davidson Wildcats will be on the road against the No. 4 Dayton Flyers, who are looking to extend their perfect SU run in conference play.

Davidson Wildcats at No. 4 Dayton Flyers
(ESPN2, 7:00 p.m. ET)

Opening Odds: Dayton -11, Total 141

Betting Matchup

Davidson has moved to 9-6 SU in A 10 play with four wins in its last five games while going 3-2 against the spread. Tuesday’s 74-49 blowout against LaSalle as an 11-point home favorite stayed UNDER 137 ½ points. It had gone OVER or ended as a PUSH in their previous five contests.

The Wildcats come into the first of three final regular season games at 15-12 SU with a 12-15 record ATS. They have gone 2-7 ATS in nine previous games closing as underdogs. Kellen Grady scored 22 points in Tuesday’s rout with Jon Axel Gudmunsson adding 14 points to the winning cause. These two guards have been Davidsons’ top two scorers all season long with a combined 30.8 points per game.

This roster runs deep with scorers with three more players averaging at least 10 points a game. The Wildcats are putting up 73.2 PPG while shooting 45.3 percent from the field and 36.7 percent from three-point range.

At 15-0 SU in conference play, this will be Dayton’s first and only regular season meeting against Davidson. While the Flyers (26-2 SU, 14-13-1 ATS) have yet to lose an A 10 game, they have been a tough team to bet on at 7-8 ATS. They failed to cover as 12-point road favorites in Tuesday’s 62-55 victory against George Mason.

This dropped their record to 2-5 ATS in their last seven outings. The total has stayed UNDER in five of those seven games.

Dayton’s strong suit the entire season has been the consistent gap between points scored (79.9) and points allowed (65.2). The issue covering the spread in conference play is more about the 10 games closing as a double-digit favorite.

This team goes four deep in double-digit scorers led by Obi Toppin’s 19.7 PPG. The sophomore forward is also pulling down 7.7 rebounds a game. He scored 19 points in Tuesday’s victory after putting up 28 points in his previous start.

Betting Trends

-- The Wildcats have lost four of their last five road games as underdogs both SU and ATS. They are 3-7 (SU and ATS) in their last 10 games as road underdogs. The total has stayed UNDER or ended as a PUSH in seven of those 10 contests.

-- The Flyers are a perfect 15-0 SU this season at home closing as favorites in every game. That record drops to 8-6-1 ATS after failing to cover in three of their last four home games. The total has gone OVER in five of their last seven games played on their home court.

-- In six previous meetings, Dayton has the 4-2 edge SU and Davidson has been able to cover in four of the six games. The total has stayed UNDER in four of those six matchups.
