Quote of the Day:
“Our names will be attached together for what we did. People always ask about our relationship, and I tell them it’s just like me and Charles. You’ve got two strong-minded people who are gonna get it done their way. We’re gonna say certain things, the respect will never be lost, but when it comes to being inside the lines and win, that’s what me and him did.”
Shaquille O’Neal, talking about Kobe Bryant

Wednesday’s quiz

Monday’s quiz

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

Wednesday’s List of 13: Mid-week musings…….

13) One of worst betting beats of the year happened in Minnesota Monday night, where the host Timberwolves (-3) led Sacramento by 17 points with 2:49 left to play.

They lost.

2:30 left: Fox makes a layup.
2:02 left: Hield makes a 3-pointer
1:46 left: Minnesota scores a hoop, leads 117-103
1:39 left: Fox makes two foul shots
1:05 left: Hield makes a 3-pointer
0:41 left: Barnes makes two FT’s
0:39 left: Minnesota makes two FT’s, leads 119-110
0:37 left: Hield makes three FT’s
0:31 left: Hield makes a 3-pointer
0:04.7 left: Fox makes a foul shot
0:03.6 left: Fox makes 2-point shot, regulation ends 119-119.

Kings won 133-129 in OT. Oy.

12) Yanni Wetzell is a 6-10 senior at San Diego State, which is 21-0, the last unbeaten team in the country. Last year, Wetzell played at Vanderbilt, which started the season 9-3 but never won another game, losing their last 20 games, going 0-19 in SEC play.

I’m guessing he is having more fun this year than he had last year.

12) Bucks 151, Wizards 131— What the hell is Washington doing? They were down 88-63 at halftime; could they at least try to play defense? Atlanta hung 152 on the Wizards Saturday and the Hawks aren’t very good. How about a little effort?

Giannis Antetokounmpo didn’t play by the way, making it even worse.

11) San Francisco 49ers trailed six games this year in 4th quarter; they won four of them.

10) Dolphins-Patriots will play a regular season game in Mexico City next season, with Miami being the “home” team.

9) Ouachita Christian HS’s girls basketball team is 26-0 and favored to win a state title in Louisiana’s second-lowest enrollment division; why do I mention this?

Their coach is Stan Humphries, who played QB for eight years in NFL, leading the Chargers to the Super Bowl 25 years ago. Pretty cool story, that a pro athlete struggled to find his calling after his playing days ended, but has done so successfully. Good for him.

8) Miami (OH) postponed its next men’s and women’s basketball games after news broke that two students are being tested for possibly having coronavirus.

7) Upsets:
— Texas A&M (+11) 63, Tennessee 58
— Buffalo (+7.5) 77, Akron 74
— Mississippi State (+4.5) 78, Florida 71
— Kent State (+3.5) 83. Toledo 70

6) Former Nebraska football coach Bo Pelini will be the new defensive coordinator at LSU, replacing Dave Aranda, who became the new head coach at Baylor.

5) New Jersey Giants hired former Browns’ HC Freddie Kitchens as their tight ends coach.

4) Colleges with most players in the Super Bowl:
5— LSU, Penn State
4— Iowa
3— Clemson, Kansas State, Oklahoma, Stanford

3) Conferences with most players in the Super Bowl:
24— SEC
19— Big 14
15— ACC
14— Pac-12

2) Cincinnati Reds were 24-33 in one-run games LY; thats five more one-run losses than any other big league team (Seattle lost 28).

1) Looks like Dusty Baker will be the Astros’ new manager, an excellent move by them. He’s made the playoffs nine times in 22 years as a major league manager.

— Three kids on GW played 59:00, 57:00, 56:00
— Two kids on Davidson played 58:00, 57:00.
— In a 60:00 game, there was a total of only 16 turnovers.

12) Seton Hall 64, DePaul 57— Blue Demons were 12-1 on Christmas and looked great; now they’re 1-7 in Big East and looking pretty much the same as they do every year.

11) Three of five games in the Atlantic 14 Wednesday went to OT.

10) Memphis 59, UCF 57— Tigers had lost four of their last six games; they really needed this road win.

9) Houston 69, East Carolina 59— Cougars are experience team #290, but Kelvin Sampson is one of the best coaches in the country. Houston is 17-4, 7-1 in the AAC.

8) Washington State 67, Arizona State 65— Last game of the night had some terrible free throw shooting down stretch; CJ Elleby scored a career-high 27 points, hitting game-winning 3-pointer with 0:05.4 left. Coogs are 4-5 in Pac-12; last time they finished .500 in Pac-12 was 2011.

7) Upsets:
— Mercer (+15) 71, East Tennessee State 55
— Lafayette (+9) 80, Colgate 78
— South Carolina (+7) 79, Arkansas 77
— Incarnate Word (+7) 84, Houston Baptist 82
— Texas (+5) 62, TCU 61
— South Dakota State (+4.5) 76, Oral Roberts 61

6) Texas Tech 89, West Virginia 81— Mountaineers lose in Lubbock for 4th year in a row.

5) Penn State 64, Indiana 49— Nevada and Indiana should trade coaches; Steve Alford could go home and be Indiana’s coach. Archie Miller would probably feel more welcomed in Reno.

4) Colorado State 92, Nevada 91— Speaking of Alford, his Wolf Pack.led by by 10 with 7:17 left but let one get away in Fort Collins, despite going 14-29 on arc. Rams outscored Nevada 23-7 on foul line; they’ve won six of their last seven games.

3) San Diego State 85, New Mexico 57— Lobos’ season is a train wreck; they’ve got three guys either suspended/thrown off team, and a 4th player has been hurt for four games. Aztecs led this game 20-2 before the second TV timeout.

What do I mean by train wreck? While the Lobos were in Reno over the weekend, an injured player rented an Air BnB in Albuquerque and threw a party, where two people were injured by gunfire.

Not good.

2) As it stands right now, ACC would be a 3-bid league for NCAA’s (Louisville, Duke, Florida State); NC State, Syracuse, Virginia are squarely on the bubble.

1) Rhode Island has won seven games in a row, is 15-5, 7-1 in A-14, and they’ve played schedule #65. Surprising team; good coaching job being done by David Cox- they host VCU Friday.
