Six-Pack for Tuesday

I'll be looking at all thirty big league teams this spring; we look at the San Francisco Giants today...........

-- Over last four years, Barry Bonds is hitting .376 with men in scoring position, 12 points higher than anyone else.

-- Bonds hit 26 homers last year; last April, he was walked intentionally 12 times; only once in September.

-- Over last six years, Barry Zito missed one start, and that was intentional, getting ready for the playoffs.

-- Matt Cain ranked third in NL, allowing 7.41 hits/9 innings.

-- Steve Kline leads major leagues with 682 appearances in the last nine seasons.

-- Bonds already holds the NL home run record, ironically passing Hank Aaron at Miller Park in Milwaukee.

Tuesday's List of 13: Digging deeper into March Madness

13) Kentucky won its last sixteen first round games, going all the way back to '87 first round loss to Ohio State, so no love for Tubby Smith unless he gets to the Sweet 16, and he needs to beat both Villanova, Kansas to do that. Good luck.

After the season I'm going to take longer look at expectations that make certain jobs lot harder than they look. Kentucky is certainly near the top of that list.

12) Michigan State's Tom Izzo is just 2-3 in the first round last five seasons, but he is golden in second round, winning last second round six games, last four by double digit margins.

11) Southern Conference teams are 0-9 in last nine NCAA tilts but they covered their last five, with only one loss by nine or more points. Davidson is young team, but has terrific coach in McKillop; they'll give Maryland a good game.

10) Patriot League teams covered last five first round games; Bucknell won first round games the last two years-- Willard is 3-0 vs spread with Holy Cross, losing by 11,4,4 points.

9) It has been seven years since the #1 seed in West got to the Final Four; UConn in '99 was last team to do that.

8) UNLV hasn't won NCAA tournament game since the glory days of Tark the Shark, back in '91.

7) Virginia assistant coach Rob Lanier worked in Albany for a few years, during his ill-fated term as the head coach at Siena. Two years ago, Lanier lost by 22 to Albany in crosstown tilt; now he meets up with the Great Danes again. Albany will be confident after scaring the hell out of UConn last March.

6) Memphis meets up with old friend Johnny Jones when the Tigers face North Texas. Jones was Memphis' interim coach, and was candidate for permanent job before John Calipari got hired. Game is in New Orleans; Jones was star player at LSU and is a high school legend in Louisiana.

5) Winthrop has long trip with not many fans when they face Notre Dame in Spokane, but they will have some fans; wife of Winthrop coach Marshall is from the state of Washington.

4) Weber State is last team to beat North Carolina in the first round, but Big Sky was weaker than usual this year. Hard to envision Wildcats giving UCLA much of a game.

3) When Florida won national title last year, they became the first team since Duke in '91 to win national title and go 6-0 vs. the spread in those six games.

2) No #16 seed has ever beaten a #1, but over last five years, #16's are 12-8 vs spread, so they've been competing.

1) The #5 seed in Midwest is 4-9 SU last thirteen years, 1-4 in last five. That precarious spot belongs to Butler this season, making Old Dominion the #12 seed most likely to advance.

Play-in Game
Niagara won last 11 games, doesn't belong in play-in game, but they're here. Eagles are 5-4-1 vs spread in last nine tries as fave; they got off to slow start because Fisher missed eight games at start of season. Florida A&M has six guys from Illinois, so they will have some support in Dayton; Rattlers have three seniors in top nine guys- they played seven rotation teams in Nov/Dec conference schedule and didn't beat any of them, but they did win play-in game three years ago vs Lehigh, 72-57 (+4). Tough part for Florida A&M is that they won title Saturday, got back home Sunday, then flew to Dayton Monday. Niagara won title in MAAC eight days ago, to they're better rested.

NIT
Investing in NIT games is the ultimate in gambling; no one has a clue how these teams are going to play-- not me, not you, not the coaches of the teams. It is mostly about desire and players really wanting to extend their seasons. None of these teams are happy to be in the NIT, so invest carefully.............

Florida State missed NCAAs mainly because PG Douglas was injured; they played well after he came back. Toledo had won last seven games in row before 56-53 loss to Miami in semis of MAC tourney. Lot of points to give quality Toledo squad.

Utah State beat Nevada twice in a week, but then had to play at New Mexico State is WAC title game; they covered last five as an underdog. Michigan is 5-2 in last seven tries as favorite; not sure how they can be real excited about being in this spot. For Utah State, playing on TV is unusual, at least.

Delaware State won regular season title in MEAC, worst league in country, but they lost in tourney, so they're here, facing the young Mountaineers, who lost in OT to Louisville after coming back from 17-pt deficit in second half. WVa beat Eastern Shore of MEAC 95-49 this season. Delaware State gets 32% of points from arc, so lot of 3's going to be shot here.

Brutal spot for NC State, playing road game after four games in four days in St Petersburg over weekend; this game couldn't have been played Wednesday? Thin Wolfpack beat UNCW of CAA 72-51 in December. Drexel upset over being left out of the field of 65; that could go either way. Some teams get inspired, some go in tank. Has to be tough physically on State, though.

Mississippi State beat Alabama State of SWAC 79-59 back in December; Mississippi Valley won that league. Delta Devils are team that gets to foul line a lot; they rank in top 60 in country in percent of point scored at line. Bulldogs are 2-3 in their last five games, losing twice to Arkansas, which cost them at-large bid; they covered five of last six tries as a favorite.

Alabama has been banged up all season; they got crushed by Kentucky in SEC tourney. If Steele is healthy, they're dynamite but he is always hurt. UMass lost slowish game to Saint Louis in A-14 tourney, ending 0-1 run- they lost to Kentucky by 14 just before Christmas. Bama beat A-14 regular season champ Xavier on neutral court in November, 63-56.

Marist can shoot, pass, but Oklahoma State will kill them inside with physical play of Boggan. Cowboys playing seventh game in 14 days; they're 14-1 outside of Big 12. Marist had won eight in row before losing once again MAAC tourney nemesis Siena this is only fourth game all season Marist is a dog (1-2 vvs pts)

Play-in game


TUESDAY, MARCH 13

Niagara vs. Florida A&M
The Rattlers were a surprise to reach the play-in game, knocking off favored Delaware State to win the MEAC Tournament. But they run into a tough opponent in Niagara. The Purple Eagles started the year with six players arrested and suspended for an August fight. The longest suspension went to leading scorer Charron Fisher (21.0 ppg), which helped contribute to Niagara's woeful 1-6 start. But since Fisher's return on Dec. 19, the Purple Eagles are 20-5 and head into the tournament with an 11-game winning streak, including victories over Loyola-MD and Siena to win the MAAC Tournament. Niagara looks like a good pick to cover the Vegas line (-6) in this one according to Dunkel, which has the Purple Eagles favored by 12 1/2. Dunkel Pick: Niagara (-6).

[GrandPa]

Is there a worse, more dubious, less excitable situation than that of the two teams who get to kind of kick off the NCAA tourney, knowing full well that the reward is to go head to head v a No. 1 seed, who have amassed a 88-0 SU record to date versus # 16s, and further insulting the situation not even having a bracket space allotted, as if it is even possible to do the unthinkable, knock off a #1 just two days after slaying #66.

Well I guess the rally cry is "We're better than Stanford, Air Force, K-State, Drexel, West Virginia, Florida State and Syracuse," since we are in the game.

We're # 66 just sounds hollow, or short of acclaim. IMO

LMAO!!!!! I couldn't agree more, GrandPa! That's a very interesting point of view. I hadn't thought of it exactly like that. Now, I'm going to go around all day yelling "We're number 66!"
Nothing better than starting the day off with a good laugh! Thanks, GrandPa!
