Quote of the Day:
“He (Jason Garrett) committed everything he had to the organization and to doing the best job that he could. He made it a priority and he committed himself. Breakups are always hard — we all understand that — at whatever level they occur, but I don’t know that after all that he gave and committed to this organization that he received the same in return.”
Troy Aikman

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

13) Mississippi State hired Mike Leach as its new football coach; with Lane Kiffin signing on at Ole Miss, the SEC will be more interesting than normal next year, and thats saying something.

Big week for Miss State football; Bulldog alum Joe Judge was the surprise choice to be the new coach of the New Jersey Giants- he was introduced to the NY-NJ media Thursday.

12) 76ers’ star Joel Embiid will have surgery Friday morning to fix a torn radial collateral ligament in the ring finger of his left hand; he is expected to miss at least two weeks.

11) Oregon 74, Arizona 73 OT— Outstanding, March-like game; Ducks trailed by 11 in the first half, but rallied for win behind Pritchard, who had 18 points, six assists, and played the whole 45:00. Arizona’s Max Hazzard bolted from Cal-Irvine to Tucson, but he played only 8:00 in this game. Sometimes the grass isn’t greener on the other side.

10) Michigan 84, Purdue 78, 2OT— Zavier Simpson scored 22 points, had nine assists; he was on floor for 49 of the 50:00, going 8-8 inside arc. Purdue had 15 offensive rebounds.

Williams had 36 points, 20 rebounds, first time a Purdue player did that since 1971.

9) Wichita State 76, Memphis 67— Shockers were +8 (18-10) in turnovers, in foul-filled game (both teams took 30+ FT’s). Wichita never trailed in this game, despite shooting only 32.8% from the floor.

8) Saint Mary’s 87, BYU 84 OT— BYU’s star big man Childs got hurt in practice, missed this game; senior G Haws scored 29 in a losing cause here.

Saint Mary’s lost a 4-OT game Saturday, then played another OT game here. If the WCC does not get three NCAA bids, the BYU-Saint Mary’s games become a lot bigger.

7) College basketball upsets:
— Tex-San Antonio (+6.5) 89, Louisiana Tech 73
— Montana (+6) 90, Eastern Washington 63
— Hofstra (+4) 74, Northeastern 72
— Eastern Kentucky (+4) 77, Eastern Illinois 74
— Arizona State (+4) 82, Oregon State 76

6) Stanford 61, Washington 55— Cardinal ends game on 14-1 run; Washington lost its poise down stretch. Why did they lose their poise?

Huskies’ PG Quade Green is academically ineligible; freshman G Marcus Tsohonis will be pressed into action as a backup. Washington had hoped to redshirt Tsohonis this season. Losing your point guard at midseason is like losing your QB; not good.

Green was scoring 11.6 ppg, giving out 5.3 assists/game while making 44.7% of his 3’s.

5) Northern Colorado 65, Weber State 64— Bears get their first-ever win in 14 visits to Ogden; Kai Edwards scored a basket with 0:03.5 left for the win.

4) Siena 61, St Peter’s 58— Peacocks were only 4-22 on arc, were outscored 14-4 on foul line.

3) The last time that a Western Conference team made the NBA playoffs with a losing record was 1996-97, when the 36-46 LA Clippers got in, but that streak could end this year; right now, the 16-20 San Antonio Spurs are holding down the #8 spot in the west.

2) St Louis Cardinals traded OF’s Jose Martinez and Randy Arozarena to Tampa Bay for lefty pitching prospect Matt Liberatore and a Class A catching prospect.

1) Cavaliers 115, Pistons 112 OT— John Beilein really needed this week, after a bad week for him and his team, off the floor. Cleveland is 11-27; losing is stressful. Beilein was a great college coach; you wonder if he is regretting his move to the more player-friendly NBA.

Friday's Tip Sheet
Kevin Rogers

Game of the Night: Lakers at Mavericks – 9:45 PM EST

Unfortunately, this is the final regular season meeting between these two Western squads, who may see each other again in the postseason. The Lakers (30-7 SU, 19-17-1 ATS) are riding a six-game winning streak since losing at home to the Clippers on Christmas night, which includes a 108-95 triumph at Staples Center over the Mavericks on December 29. Los Angeles swept a five-game homestand, capped off by a 117-87 blowout of New York on Tuesday as 13-point favorites, but star forward Anthony Davis sustained a bruise on his buttocks and is questionable for Friday’s matchup.

Dallas (23-14 SU, 19-17-1 ATS) continued a negative recent trend by falling to 1-7 in the last eight games off a win after dropping a one-point heartbreaker to Denver, 108-107 on Wednesday. Kristaps Porzingis remains out for Dallas with a sore right knee as the Mavericks are 2-4 in the last six games, which includes three losses by five points or less. Since winning at Philadelphia on December 20, the Mavs are 4-5 with four losses to teams owning winning records, while the four victories are against squads with losing records.

The Lakers own a 15-3 record on the highway, which includes erasing a 15-point halftime deficit in a 119-110 overtime thriller at American Airlines Center on November 1. The Mavs picked up revenge at Staples Center exactly one month later in a 114-100 victory as 6 ½-point underdogs, highlighted by 27 points and 10 assists from Dallas star Luka Doncic. In the most recent matchup back in L.A. in late December, the Lakers pulled away late in the first quarter and cruised to a 13-point win as five-point favorites to improve to 7-1 in the past eight meetings with the Mavericks.

Heat at Nets – 7:35 PM EST
The beat goes on for Miami (27-10 SU, 22-13-2 ATS), who not only is in control of the Southeast division, but also is currently the second seed in the Eastern Conference behind Milwaukee. The Heat rolled past the Pacers, 122-108 in a heated contest on Wednesday for its second victory over Indiana in the last three weeks. Miami owns an incredible 7-2 record against five of the top six teams in the East (Milwaukee, Boston, Toronto, Philadelphia, Indiana), but the Heat has lost on the road in the last month to Memphis, Washington, and Orlando.

Brooklyn (16-20 SU, 16-20 ATS) knew it wouldn’t have Kevin Durant at their disposal this season, but Kyrie Irving has missed the last 25 games with a shoulder injury. The Nets won nine of 12 games when Irving was initially sidelined, but have gone backwards of late by posting a 3-10 record the last 13 trips to the court, while riding a seven-game skid. Brooklyn last won a game on December 21 against Atlanta, while coming off a tough overtime loss to Oklahoma City on Tuesday, 111-103 as they were outscored, 10-2 in the extra session.

The Heat moved above the .500 mark on the road (10-9) with Tuesday’s rout of Indiana, as Miami seeks its second victory at Barclays Center this season. On December 1, the Heat escaped Brooklyn with a 109-106 triumph as 4 ½-point favorites and won in spite of shooting 39% from the floor. Miami is looking for consecutive road wins for the second time this season, while Brooklyn has failed to cover the spread in each of its past 10 defeats.

Spurs at Grizzlies – 8:05 PM EST
These teams are pretty close in the standings although many didn’t believe Memphis would own as many wins as San Antonio in early January. The Grizzlies (16-22 SU, 19-18-1 ATS) are riding a three-game winning streak, while posting an incredible 11-4-1 ATS the last 15 contests dating back to December 9. The most recent victory came against the Timberwolves on Tuesday, 119-112 to cash as 4 ½-point home favorites, led by the backcourt duo of Dillon Brooks and Ja Morant, who combined for 53 points.

The Spurs (16-20 SU, 14-21-1 ATS) have been one of the biggest disappointments so far this season, but San Antonio is fresh off a pair of impressive blowout victories over Milwaukee and Boston. After knocking off the Bucks at home by 22 points, the Spurs went into TD Garden and dominated the Celtics, 129-114 as seven-point underdogs on Wednesday. Gregg Popovich’s team is on an 8-2 OVER run the last 10 games, while eclipsing the 117-point mark in five of the past six contests.

San Antonio still owns one of the worst ATS marks in the league, but it has been better recently by covering in eight of the last 11 trips to the court. One of those covers came in a 145-115 rout of Memphis at FedEx Forum on December 23 as short one-point favorites, highlighted by a 46-point first quarter. San Antonio shot lights out by hitting 67% of its attempts from the floor, led by LaMarcus Aldridge’s 40 points, while DeMar DeRozan knocked down 10-of-11 shots for 26 points.

6-1— Russell Wilson
7-1— Aaron Rodgers
10-1— Jimmy Garoppolo
22-1— Lamar Jackson

Quote of the Day:
“With some of these early departures and graduations, keep an eye on former Wake Forest QB Jamie Newman. He will be a very hot commodity as a Grad-Transfer. He has a ton of talent and potential.”
ESPN College Football analyst Greg McElroy, before Newman committed to Georgia Friday

Saturday’s quiz
NCIS star Mark Harmon played QB for which Division I school?

Friday’s quiz
William Henry Harrison is the American President died a month after taking office.

Thursday’s quiz
Wade Phillips was head coach in Buffalo, Dallas, Denver.

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

Saturday’s List of 13: Clearing out a cluttered mind……

13) Most underrated sports story of this century so far:

Chris Correa was a St Louis Cardinals scouting director; he hacked the Houston Astros’ database illegally and not only was banned from the sport, he was given a 46-month prison sentence.

Almost four years in jail, thats a big deal.

Now the Astros are awaiting their penalty in this sign-stealing debacle; it sounds like GM Jeff Luhnow and maybe even manager AJ Hinch are going to be suspended, possibly for a decent amount of time. Pretty big mess on MLB’s hands.

12) One way around future problems with teams stealing signs electronically; just make it legal. Leave it up to teams to find a better way to pass signs along.

11) Eight years ago, Clemson lost its bowl game 70-33 to West Virginia; since then, they’re 9-2 SU in playoff/bowl games (10-1 ATS), despite being an underdog in nine of the 11 games.

10) LSU’s defensive coordinator Dave Aranda makes $2.5M a year; Clemson’s DC Brent Venables makes $2.2M- thats $4.7M a year for two guys who aren’t head coaches!!!!

9) By the way, the strength coach at Iowa makes $800,000 a year; very important position- the strength coach may have more contact with the players in off season training than the coaches do, but $800K seems a bit excessive.

8) When Golden State Warrior rookie Ky Bowman was in high school, he was such a good football player that he was offered football scholarships by both Alabama and Auburn. He played basketball at Boston College instead, and now it is paying off.

7) Apparently, Seinfeld and Curb Your Enthusiasm creator Larry David once called the Jets’ front office before the 2018 NFL Draft and advised them to take Lamar Jackson.

David says he got former Jets GM Mike Maccagnan on the phone and passed along his advice, which obviously was ignored. Must be nice to have enough clout to get the GM on the phone.

6) Georgia QB Jake Fromm declared for the NFL Draft; Mel Kiper Jr has Fromm listed as the #5 QB in the draft.

5) When giving out assists in basketball, an assist on a 3-point shot should be 1.5 assists; a pass that leads to a free throws taken should also count 0.5 assists for every foul shot made.

4) Scapegoat watch: Philadelphia Eagles fired OC Mike Groh.

3) Eagles’ QB Josh McCown played in his first NFL playoff game last week at age 40; now it turns out that he played the second half of that game with a torn hamstring, and will have surgery next week. Ouch.

2) Former Michigan coach Brady Hoke is taking over as the head coach at San Diego State with Rocky Long stepping down as the Aztecs head coach.

1) There is a movie coming out where John Malkovich plays the Pope; I’ve seen Malkovich in two things- as Teddy KGB, the Russian gangster in Rounders, and Grigor Andolov, a Russian business tycoon in Billions. I’m guessing the collection plate would be pretty full on Sundays if Malkovich became the Pope. Or else.
