Armadillo: Friday's six-pack

NBA trends submitted for your perusal……

— Washington covered eight of its last 11 home games.

— Mavericks are 14-5-1 ATS in their last 20 road games.

— Phoenix covered once in its last six road games.

— Knicks are 9-6 ATS at home since changing coaches.

— Minnesota covered twice in its last sixteen games.

— Nuggets are 7-4 in their last eleven games.

**********

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

13) Eastern Illinois 63, Murray State 60— Racers led this game 50-23 with 11:45 left to play, and lost; they led by 24 with 8:33 left. Panthers outscored Murray 35-10 over last 10:00 of game, as Racers lose for third time in last five games, and slip into a tie for 2nd in OVC with Belmont.

12) Gonzaga 71, San Francisco 54— USF was up 31-22 at half; first time they met, Gonzaga was down 43-35 at halftime, but won 83-79. Gonzaga was 25-32 on foul line in first meeting, only 4-5 on arc. Last night, they were 5-13 on arc, 8-15 on foul line.

San Francisco might be the best 17-11 team in the country; whoever draws Gonzaga in the NCAA’s is going to watch film of these two games, for sure.

11) Four games in the WCC Thursday, favorites won all four, but none of them covered.

10) Arizona State 77, Oregon 72— Bill Walton’s random fact of the night: Tempe, AZ is the #1 drop-off destination in the country for U-Haul vehicles.

Frank Caliendo joined the broadcast for part of the first half; his impersonation of Walton is spot-on. Having two guys on a broadcast who talk like Walton was a bit much.

9) Temple 93, UConn 89 2OT— Owls were 27-35 on foul line, UConn 18-20, in game where the Huskies led by 12 early on. Temple won three of its last four games, with all three wins by 4 or less points, or in OT.

8) 3-pointers became a permanent thing in college basketball in the fall of 1986; since then, only two teams (UNLV, Princeton) have made a 3-pointer in all their games.

Vanderbilt was also on this list, until they went 0-25 on arc against Tennessee January 18.

7) Indiana State 67, Northern Iowa 64— Minor upset in MVC, but Panthers lose in Terre Haute for fifth year in a row, so not as big an upset as the standings would suggest.

6) Hawai’i 56, Cal-Riverside 55— Rainbows blew a 17-point lead, but won and snapped their 4-game losing skid in what was an oddly entertaining game. Not often Riverside gets national TV exposure; both teams played their hearts out, but neither team is very good.

5) Stanford 72, Washington 64— This is how fragile teams are in today’s college basketball, even really good teams. On January 5, Washington pounded USC 72-40; they were 11-4, ranked #50 in country by KenPom. Then point guard Quade Green flunked out of school.

Since then, losing one player, Washington is 1-11, and has dropped into last place in Pac-12. Huskies would be a lock for the NCAA’s if they had better tutors (kidding, kind of).

4) Upsets:
— Denver (+6.5) 100, Oral Roberts 96 OT
— Wm & Mary (+6) 61, Towson State 51
— Youngstown State (+6) 88, Wright State 70
— UMBC (+5) 69, Albany 50
— Eastern Illinois (+4.5) 63, Murray State 60

3) Surprising stat of the day: Patrick Mahomes played for three years at Texas Tech; they went 16-21 in those three seasons.

2) 76ers 112, Nets 104 OT— If you had Brooklyn +6.5, this was a bitter defeat; Nets led by 20 at one point. Ben Simmons didn’t play; Embiid scored 39, grabbed 16 rebounds.

1) All winter long, I’ve read about the Cubs trading Kris Bryant; all of a sudden, Bryant is going to be their new leadoff hitter. Go figure.

Friday's NCAA Basketball Betting Tip Sheet for MAC, A-10
David Schwab

Friday night’s thin betting board for college basketball does offer an ESPN2 doubleheader in the MAC and Atlantic 10.

The early game pits the Buffalo Bulls on the road against the Kent State Golden Flashes. The final game on Friday’s schedule sends the VCU Rams to St. Louis to square off against the Billikens.

Buffalo Bulls at Kent State Golden Flashes
(ESPN, 7:00 p.m. ET)

Opening Odds: TBD

Betting Matchup

The Bulls’ current straight-up winning streak reach three games with Tuesday’s 72-59 victory against Ball State. They improved to 8-5 in MAC play. Even with the cover as four-point home favorites, they are 3-4 against the spread over their last seven games. The total has stayed UNDER in their last seven contests. Buffalo is 17-9 SU with a 11-13-1 record ATS.

Josh Mballa scored 16 points while pulling down 15 rebounds in Tuesday’s win. Jayson Graves posted 27 points in a recent win against Toledo. The junior guard had 16 points against Ball State to basically match his team-leading scoring average (16.6 points).

With Tuesday’s 70-49 drubbing at the hands of Eastern Michigan, Kent State has now lost three of its last four games SU. It failed to cover as a 2 ½-point road favorite to fall to 1-4 ATS over its last four games. The Golden Flashes (17-9 SU) have actually failed to cover in eight of their last 11 games to fall to 11-12-1 ATS on the year. The total has stayed UNDER in four of their last five outings.

Kent State did beat Buffalo on the road 70-66 on Jan. 24 as a 3 ½-point underdog. It is averaging 75.2 points per game but it has failed to cross the 54-point mark in three of its last four games.

Betting Trends

-- The Bulls are 4-1 both SU and ATS in their last five road games. They have a SU 7-3 record in their last 10 games on the road with the total staying UNDER in the last four road outings.

-- The Golden Flashes have a SU 8-2 record over their last 10 games at home while going 6-4 ATS. Yet, they have failed to cover in four of their last five home games with the total staying UNDER in three of those contests.

-- Kent State snapped a SU four-game losing streak to Buffalo with the earlier win. The Bulls still hold a slight SU 6-4 edge over the last 10 games with the series tied 5-5 ATS. The total has stayed UNDER in four of the last five meetings.

VCU Rams at Saint Louis Billikens
(ESPN2, 9:00 p.m. ET)

Opening Odds: TBD

Betting Matchup

The Rams are playing themselves out of the NCAA Tournament with a three-game losing streak both SU and ATS. They failed to cover as three-point home underdogs in Tuesday’s 66-61 loss to Dayton. VCU is 17-9 SU overall with a 9-17 record ATS. The total has stayed UNDER in its last two games after going OVER or ending as a PUSH in its previous five contests. The Rams have averaged just 67 points over their last five games. They allowed an average of 72.8 points during the same span.

Saint Louis has not helped it cause with one SU win in its last four games while going 2-2 ATS. It came up short on Tuesday as a three-point road favorite in a 67-63 loss to UMass. The Billikens are 18-8 SU (13-12 ATS) and they have matched VCU’s conference record of 7-6. The total has gone OVER in four of their past six contests.

Junior guard Jordan Goodwin is the team’s leading scorer this season with 15.7 PPG. He has eclipsed that average in each of his last four starts, including 22 points in Tuesday’s losing effort.

Betting Trends

-- The Rams have a 2-3 record both SU and ATS over their last five road games and they have failed to cover in five of their last eight games on the road. The total has gone OVER in three of the last five road games.

-- The Billikens are 8-2 SU in their last 10 games at home and they have covered in two of their last three home games. The total has gone OVER in three of the last four games played at home.

-- VCU has won eight of its last eight games against Saint Louis SU with a slight 5-3 edge ATS. The total has gone OVER in the last two meetings after staying UNDER in the previous eight.

YALE BULLDOGS AT CORNELL BIG RED (+11.5, 137)

We start off with an Ivy League matchup on Friday night, as the best team in the conference (17-6 Yale) faces off against one of the worst (5-17 Cornell).

Cornell ranks outside the Top 300 in scoring, averaging just 64.6 points per game on 41.7 percent shooting. The Big Red also rank outside the Top 300 in pace, which could make for a low-scoring game.

The Bulldogs have the best defense in the conference and are especially stout on the road, where they hold opponents to just 64.6 ppg on 38.2 percent shooting. Look for Yale to hold Cornell Under its team total of 62.5 points.

TENNESSEE VOLUNTEERS AT AUBURN TIGERS

The Tigers are coming off one of the their worst offensive performances of the season, shooting just 31 percent from the field and turning the ball over 15 times in a 65-55 road loss against Georgia. But expect Bruce Pearl's squad to bounce back in a big way at Auburn Arena.

While the Volunteers are strong on the defensive end of the floor, they have shown more cracks in their armor on the road where they give up 67.6 ppg on 42.3 percent shooting (compared to the 58.1 ppg and 36.7 percent shooting they limit foes to at home).

The Tigers are the third-highest scoring team in the country at home with 85.4 ppg and have scored at least 84 points in each of the last three head-to-head meetings with Tennessee. While the Vols play at one of the slowest tempos in the country, expect the faster Tigers to push the pace and take their team total Over.

GONZAGA BULLDOGS AT BYU COUGARS

Gonzaga is the highest scoring team in the country, putting up 87.9 ppg. Brigham Young is ninth in scoring with 79.6 ppg and bumps that number up to 82.7 at home. But on the defensive end of the court, the Zags have the clear edge after ranking 20th in the country in defensive efficiency while BYU sits 131st.

With BYU currently ranked No. 23 in the AP poll and playing at home, the Bulldogs might not be favored by too many points in this contest. That's perfect for Gonzaga bettors who know that the Zags are 5-0 SU and ATS in the last five games head-to-head, and have won by at least 30 points in each of the last three meetings (including a 92-69 beatdown last month).

This might be the shortest line you see on Gonzaga until the NCAA Tournament begins so don't hesitate to back the Zags on the spread.

With Gonzaga going above the total in each of its last nine games and BYU 7-1 O/U in its previous eight contests at home, the Over is worth looking into as well.

MARYLAND TERRAPINS AT OHIO STATE BUCKEYES

Maryland is absolutely cooking at the moment, rising to No. 7 in the AP poll and bringing a nine-game winning streak into Columbus. The Terrapins are led by senior guard Anthony Cowan Jr. (16.7 points and 4.5 assists per game) and sophomore big man Jalen Smith (15.4 points, 10.3 rebounds and 2.3 blocks per game).

Despite losing six of its first seven games after Christmas, Ohio State is still No. 9 in the country in adjusted efficiency margin according to KenPom. While the Buckeyes are coming off an 11-point loss to Iowa, they're still 5-2 SU and ATS over their last seven contests.

Home-court advantage has been huge in Big Ten play but Maryland is one of the few teams that has performed well in away contests. The Terps are 4-0 SU and ATS in their previous four road games, including an impressive win against Michigan State in East Lansing. Although shooting can be tough for college teams on the road, defensive intensity and hard-nosed rebounding tends to travel well and Maryland has those in spades. Back the Terrapins on the moneyline.

MID-MAJOR TO WATCH: RICHMOND SPIDERS (20-6 SU, 15-11 ATS, 7-18-1 O/U)

The Richmond Spiders are on the bubble and aiming for an at-large bid in the NCAA Tournament. They have a couple of Quad 1 wins on their resume (against Wisconsin and Rhode Island) and managed to get revenge against VCU, winning 77-59 last Saturday after losing by 19 points to the Rams last month.

Richmond has a highly-efficient offense that shoots 46.9 percent from the field against Div-I foes (27th in the country), but could be in for a tough matchup on the road against St. Bonaventure this weekend. The Bonnies have a 17-9 record and hold opponents to just 39.9 percent shooting at home. St. Bonaventure has also won the last three games in the head-to-head series going back to 2018.

MARCH MADNESS ODDS

Two Big 12 teams have been at the top of the odds to win March Madness for a while now, and they will clash for the second time this season on Saturday as Baylor hosts Kansas. Baylor upset Kansas as an 8-point road underdog on January 11, but after a month at the top of the men's college basketball rankings the Bears will likely be short faves at home this time around.

Whoever wins this contest could separate at the top of the championship futures odds board, and will likely have the best odds to win the Big 12 tournament in March.

After getting stomped 88-66 as a 6.5-point road favorite against unranked North Carolina State on Wednesday, Duke could see its futures odds start to fall. The Blue Devils currently have the fourth-best odds after Baylor, Gonzaga and Kansas.

BETTING TRENDS

• Wednesday was a day of upsets, with underdogs going 30-18-1 ATS, including N.C. State's big win against Duke. Road teams went an identical 30-18-1 ATS.

• Bucknell has been the best Under bet in college basketball since Christmas, going an incredible 14-1-1 to the Under over its last 16 games. The Bisons are holding opponents to just 66.3 points per game in conference play and take on Lehigh on Sunday. The two sides combined for 128 points when they previously met up on January 18.

• Samford isn't just among the worst teams in the Southern Conference, going 9-20 SU, it's also been a very profitable team to fade as an underdog. The Bulldogs are 2-15-1 ATS when catching points and will surely be big dogs on Saturday against conference leading East Tennessee State, which is 6-0 SU and 5-1 ATS over its last six games.
