— Wisconsin (-3) @ Minnesota

**********

Armadillo: Thursday's List of 13: Happy Thanksgiving, everyone……

13) Was going to do a list of things I’m thankful for, but decided that this year, the biggest thing I’m thankful for is that the guy who operated on my detached retina studied a lot in school and became an excellent surgeon. Thank you very much, Dr Mallick!!!!

12) Kansas 90, Dayton 84 OT— Jayhawks win Maui Classic for third time in an exciting final; Dayton tied the game on a 3-pointer with 0:01.1 left in regulation.

11) Michigan State 75, UCLA 63— Bruins go to Maui after losing at home to Hofstra and get one win, over D-II Chaminade, so they’ve lost their last three D-I games. UCLA is playing tempo #308; their fans aren’t going to like coach Mick Cronin any more than they liked Ben Howland or Steve Alford or Steve Lavin.

Howland got fired by UCLA after a 3-year stretch where they went 37-17 in Pac-12 games, but only 1-2 in NCAA tournament games. Tough crowd.

10) Over the last five seasons, 17 different college basketball teams have made the Final Four, from nine different conferences.

Over the last seven NCAA tournaments, at last one team made the Final Four that was a #5 or lower seed in their region.

9) Padres/Brewers made a 4-player trade Wednesday:
Milwaukee gets: IF Luis Urias, P Eric Lauer
San Diego gets: OF Trent Grisham, P Zach Davies.

8) Pirates filled the last open manager’s spot by hiring 49-year old Derek Shelton as their new skipper. Shelton was Minnesota’s bench coach the last two years.

7) Texas Rangers signed P Kyle Gibson to a 3-year deal worth $30M. 32-year old Gibson was 13-7, 4.84 ERA with a 1.44 WHIP LY, with 160 strikeouts in 160 IP. Rangers move into their new domed stadium this coming season.

6) Ole Miss 74, Penn State 72— Rebels trailed 52-31 wth 16:23 left, by 14 wth 6:30 left- they rally to win their fifth game in six tries. Penn State won their last game by a hoop after trailing by 16 with 9:12 left- they returned the favor here.

5) The Cleveland Indians’ baseball cap that Charlie Sheen wore in the 1988 movie Major League is on the auction block; the largest bid, with eight days left to go in the auction, is $4,594.

You could get a hat just like it for $40 on the Lids website, but someone bid $4,594 for a 31-year old baseball cap that might not even be your size. Go figure.

4) Lakers 114, Pelicans 110— Anthony Davis scored 41 points in his return to New Orleans.

3) Detroit Lions are starting rookie 3rd-string QB David Blough against the Bears today. He wasn’t drafted, but Blough played in 44 games at Purdue, throwing 1,429 passes.

2) 76ers 97, Kings 91— Embiid scored 33 points, had 16 rebounds, after not scoring in his last game, in Toronto.

1) Sad to report that the Arena Football League went out of business Wednesday; they had a team here in Albany in the late 90’s, and again the last couple years. Arenaball was great fun; thought it helped develop quarterbacks, because they had to make quick decisions, and really couldn’t run much.

Gonzaga is forcing turnovers 22.3% of time (#74); they’re stepping up in class here.

Wooden Legacy, Anaheim
Wake Forest won three of its first five games vs schedule #158; Deacons are experience team #148 that starts three seniors and a freshman- they’ve made 39.2% of their 3’s (#34). Wake turns ball over 20.1% of time (#201), which could be a problem vs Charleston’s defense. Charleston won three of first five games, losing last game by point at UCF; Cougars are #69 experience team that starts two seniors, two juniors. Charleston gets 22.6% of its points on foul line (#49)- they shoot only 27.3% on arc, but don’t take that many 3’s.

Arizona won its first six games vs schedule #328, with best wins over New Mexico State, Illinois; Wildcats are experience team #274 that starts three frosh, two seniors- they’re forcing turnovers 27.6% of time (#7), have #18 eFG% defense and are also making 41.2% of their 3’s. Pepperdine split its first six games, losing by 16 to Cal, by 7 at USC, two Pac-12 teams. Waves are experience team #160 that starts three juniors, one senior- they’ve made 40% of their 3’s (#28) while playing pace #44, but their opponents are making 40.2% of their 3’s. Not a good defensive team.

@ Las Vegas
Texas Tech won its first five game vs schedule #352, 2nd-easiest schedule so far; Red Raiders haven’t played a team ranked higher than #246 so far, so they’re moving way up in class here. Tech has made 42.4% of its 3’s (#10); they’re experience team #329 that starts two frosh, one soph, which explains the soft early schedule. Iowa won four of its first five games, all at home; they got whacked 93-78 at home by DePaul. Hawkeyes experience team #257 who’s bench plays #38 minutes; they’re getting 23.1% of their points on foul line (#36).

San Diego State won its first six games vs schedule #288; Aztecs’ only top 150 win was by 5 at BYU, which was only team to score more than 64 points against them. State is forcing turnovers 23.5% of time (#42); they’ve got #12 eFG% defense, are #88 experience team that has made 37.3% of its 3’s (#59). Creighton won four of its first five games vs schedule #296; they’re experience team #250 that starts three juniors, two sophs.

Thursday's Tip Sheet
David Schwab

The Thanksgiving Day Holiday offers up a pair of neutral-site games in Las Vegas and Anaheim as the two featured college basketball betting matchups on the board.

From Orleans Arena in Las Vegas, the Big 12’s No. 12 Texas Tech Red Raiders face the Big Ten’s Iowa Hawkeyes. Moving to the Anaheim Convention Center for the second featured game, the West Coast Conference Pepperdine Waves close out Thursday’s college basketball schedule in a late start against the Pac-12’s No. 14 Arizona Wildcats

No. 12 Texas Tech vs. Iowa (FOX Sports 1, 8:00 p.m. ET)
Opening Odds: Texas Tech -6.5, Total 146

Betting Matchup

With Sunday’s 96-66 romp against LIU-Brooklyn as 24-point favorites, the Red Raiders improved to a perfect 5-0 straight-up and 4-1 against the spread. The total has gone OVER in three of the five games. The No. 12 team in the nation is ranked ninth in scoring with an average of 87.0 points per game. This is also the top team in the country when it comes to team assists (22.0). Freshman guard Jahmi’us Ramsey is the leading scorer (19.4 PPG) and senior guard Chris Clarke is averaging 5.8 assists a game.

Iowa has won four of its first five games SU. Its lone loss was against DePaul in a 93-78 upset as a nine-point favorite. The Hawkeyes also failed to cover in an 83-68 victory against North Florida as 16-point favorites. The total has stayed UNDER or ended as a PUSH in four of those first five outings. Junior center Luka Garza scored a career-high 30 points in a recent win against Oral Roberts. He leads the Hawkeyes in both points (22.2) and rebounds (10.2). Iowa is averaging 84.0 points and 40.2 rebounds a game. One injury note; sophomore forward Jack Nunge was lost for the season with a torn ACL.

Betting Trends

-- The Hawkeyes have gone 11-1 ATS in their last 12 neutral-site games with the total going OVER in five of their last six games against the Big 12.

Pepperdine vs. No. 14 Arizona (ESPN2, 11:00 p.m. ET)
Opening Odds: Arizona -14.5, Total 154.5

Betting Matchup

The Waves have split their first six games both SU and ATS. This includes losses to other Pac-12 teams’ California and USC. They did cover as 11 ½-point underdogs in the 91-84 road loss to the Trojans. The total has gone OVER in five of those six games. Junior guard Colbey Ross leads the team in both points (20.7) and assists (7.0). He scored 38 points in the loss to USC. Pepperdine is scoring an average of 78.5 PPG and it is giving up an average of 79.8 points on defense.

Arizona has won its first six games SU with a profitable 5-1 record ATS. It failed to cover as heavy 25-point favorites in a 71-74 victory against South Dakota State last Thursday. On Sunday, the Wildcats pulled away from Long Beach State in a 104-67 win as 25 ½-point favorites. The total has stayed UNDER in four of their first six games. Arizona is scoring 87.7 PPG which is the sixth-highest average in the nation. Defensively, it is holding opponents to just 57.3 points.
