Quote of the Day:
“You might run a 4.3 [at the combine], but your tape says you’re 4.6. You might run a 4.6, but your tape says you’re 4.4. The tape don’t lie. The combine lies. You can fall in love at the combine and get your ass broke.”
Bruce Arians

Friday’s quiz
How many college basketball leagues have their conference tournament in Las Vegas?

Thursday’s quiz
Bruce Bochy was the San Diego Padres’ manager the last time they played in a World Series.

Wednesday’s quiz
John Calipari coached the Nets from 1996-99.

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

Friday’s List of 13: Wrapping up a busy Thursday…….

13) From ESPN.com: Los Angeles Angels fired their longtime visiting clubhouse manager after an internal investigation confirmed suspicions that he was providing ball-doctoring substances to opposing pitchers. Brian Harkins had been with the Angels for 30 years, was providing illegal sticky substances in the visiting clubhouse that aided pitchers’ abilities to grip the baseball.

Trevor Bauer recently told Real Sports that 70% of pitchers use some sort of substance — be it pine tar or Firm Grip or a homemade concoction — to enhance their grip, which could ultimately provide greater movement and velocity.

Baseball has had a very rough offseason; they need real games to start. Soon.

12) Hal Mumme is a 67-year old football coach, the offensive coordinator for the Tampa Bay Vipers in the XFL; 20 years ago, he was head coach at Kentucky. He is a tough guy.

Last weekend, Mumme was on the sidelines at the Houston-Dallas game when a RB ran out of bounds and knocked Mumme over- that happened in the second quarter. Mumme got up and coached the rest of the game. No big deal.

Turns out he broke his leg in the collision, so he stood there for more than half the game and called plays, with a freakin’ broken leg.

He’ll be coaching from the booth this week, when the Renegades play New York.

11) Terence Ross is in his 8th year in the NBA, his 4th with the Orlando Magic; he scored 35 points in 34:11 in the Magic’s 116-113 loss to Miami Wednesday.

What makes this unusual is the rest of Ross’ line score:
Zero rebounds, zero assists, zero steals, zero blocks, one turnover, two fouls.

It is really, really odd for a guy to score 35 points with no rebounds, no steals.

Ross is averaging 14.6 ppg in 27.2 mpg; he’s taken 738 shots, has 69 assists.

10) Utah State 75, New Mexico 70— Merrill scored 29 points to bail out the Aggies, who led by 13 early on, but then trailed 11 with 9:15 left. Utah State is barely on right side of the bubble, so this win was necessary. Winning tonight might be necessary, too.

9) Washington 90, Arizona State 83— Huskies get first Pac-12 road win this season, hand ASU a horrific home loss that could haunt them on Selection Sunday. Sun Devils lost their last three games, after a 7-game win streak.

8) San Diego State 73, Air Force 60— Aztecs are 29-1, but they’ve trailed at halftime in their last four games; they caught a break though, when UNLV got upset, so they won’t have to play the host team in Friday’s semifinal, they play Boise State instead.

7) Upsets:
— Wyoming (+10) 74, Nevada 71
— Lipscomb (+8) 73, North Florida 71
— Washington (+6) 90, Arizona State 83
— Alcorn State (+5.5) 80, Prairie View 71
— Bucknell (+5) 64, American 59
— UMKC (+3.5) 61, Utah Valley 59

6) Four of five teams in NL Central have season win totals of 82.5 or more wins, which is bad news for the Pittsburgh Pirates, the fifth team in the division, whose over/under is 69.5.

5) Pirates are projected to have the lowest Opening Day payroll in baseball, roughly $57M; the players union has filed grievances against the Pirates the last two years for not spending their revenue sharing money to increase their payroll. Go figure.

4) Late night TV is great this month, with replays of college hoop games and spring training games all night, every night. Baseball should show late night replays all season long.

3) Tim Duncan coached the San Antonio Spurs Tuesday, in their 104-103 win over Charlotte, subbing for an absent Gregg Popovich.

2) Chicago White Sox signed their young star, 2B Yoan Moncada, to a 5-year. $70M deal.

1) Coronavirus is a huge problem for the cruise ship industry; in mid-January, Royal Caribbean stock was $136/share; at the close of business Thursday, it was $65.78/share. Oy.

Saturday’s quiz
Which major league team has the longest current playoff drought?

Friday’s quiz
Four college basketball leagues have their conference tournament in Las Vegas; Mountain West, Pac-12, WCC and WAC.

Thursday’s quiz
Bruce Bochy was the San Diego Padres’ manager the last time they played in a World Series.

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

Saturday’s Den: Clearing out a cluttered mind…….

13) Missouri Valley tournament:
Drake 77, Northern Iowa 56— Every mid-major’s nightmare; after going 25-5 during the regular season, UNI lays an egg in the first round of Arch Madness and gets bounced to the NIT, becoming the first #1 seed ever to lose to an 8-seed in this tournament.

Valparaiso 74, Loyola 73 OT— Total chaos in St Louis, with top two seeds going out in their first tournament game.

12) Milwaukee Brewers signed OF Christian Yelich to a 9-year, $215M contact that takes his to age 36. Yelich didn’t want an opt-out clause, so he is a Brewer for the rest of his career.

Yelich trivia: His great-grandfather was Fred Gehrke, who played in the NFL for 11 years and is the person who first painted the Rams’ logo on their helmets in 1948, the first NFL team to have a logo on their helmets.

11) San Diego State 81, Boise State 68— Aztecs were down 16 in first half of this game, rallied to tie by halftime; they advance to Mountain West final, but there has to be some concern- they haven’t led at halftime in any of their last five games.

10) Brown 64, Harvard 55— Crimson’s loss gives Yale the regular season title in Ivy League. Brown/Penn are tied for 4th, the last spot to get into the Ivy tournament next week.

9) Richmond 73, Duquesne 62— Huge win for the bubblelicious 24-7 Spiders, who start five juniors, have four sophs and a freshman coming off bench. In other words, Richmond should be really good next season; they’ve won four in row, nine of last ten games.

8) Hampton 86, Redford 78— Pirates are 15-18, tied for 5th in their second season in Big South, but they’ve pulled upsets the last two nights and now get a day off before playing Winthrop, the #2-seed in the Big South final Sunday.

7) Upsets:
— Brown (+10.5) 64, Harvard 55
— Hampton (+10) 86, Redford 78
— Drake (+9) 77, Northern Iowa 56
— Valparaiso (+5.5) 74, Loyola 73 OT
— Fairfield (+5.5) 66, Manhattan 50

6) OVC tournament
Belmont 60, Eastern Kentucky 50:
Murray State 73, Austin Peay 61:

Ohio Valley Conference tournament is in Evansville, even though there are no teams from Indiana in the OVC. Go figure (Evansville is close to lot of OVC schools).

5) Bronx OF Aaron Judge has a stress fracture in a rib, is out at least two more weeks; regular season starts on March 26. Last two years, Judge has played in only 214 games.

4) From CBSSports.com: Miami Marlins announced that “…….the Clevelander night club located behind the left field wall has been shut down for the year. As a result, those shots of people swimming during Marlins games will be a thing of the past as the pool, dancers and DJs that were all once a prominent part of the park are no more. Fans will reportedly still be allowed to access the area with different seating, and without the pool.”

3) Russell Westbrook hasn’t played in both ends of back-to-back games all season, and this time around he won’t play in Charlotte Saturday- the Thunder hosts Orlando Sunday.

Westbrook isn’t hurt; he makes $38,178,000, but has missed 10 of OKC’s 61 games.

By way of comparison, Artis Gilmore played in 81+ games 13 times in his 17-year career, and I’m pretty sure they didn’t have private planes in the ABA or in the NBA in the 80’s.

2) Nothing is quite as irrelevant as spring training standings, but the Padres are 11-2, the Marlins and Phillies 10-4, best records so far.

Pittsburgh is 3-11, Arizona 3-9, which means absolutely nothing.

1) Utah State 89, Wyoming 82— During the Wyoming-Nevada game Thursday night, Evan Washburn of CBS Sports interviewed a guy in the stands named Cowboy Ken, who wasn’t wearing a shirt, but had a yellow barrel on- the guy is like 60. If he walked around Fremont Street in downtown Las Vegas later that night, he would’ve fit right in.

Wyoming was down pretty good before the interview, made a big comeback after the interview and upset Nevada; no interview Friday, and the Cowboys lost to Utah State.
