Daily Sports Roundup: March 18

Today in the Daily Sports Roundup: The NCAA Tournament completes its Round of 64, while the Spurs and Mavericks battle in Texas, and the Coyotes hit the ice in Vancouver.

Tipping off on the hardwood . . .

There are a dozen games on the NBA's Friday slate, with Washington at Toronto, Denver at Orlando, Chicago at Indiana, Miami at Atlanta, New York at Detroit, Charlotte at Oklahoma City, Boston at Houston, New Jersey at Milwaukee, Golden State at Phoenix, Philadelphia at Sacramento, Minnesota at the Lakers, and San Antonio at Dallas. The Spurs fell to 54-13 SU and 37-28-2 ATS on the season with an ugly 110-80 loss in Miami in their last game on Monday, but they're 2-1 against Dallas so far this season. The Spurs and Mavs last met on January 14 in San Antonio, with the home side covering the 9.5-point spread in a 101-89 victory. DeJuan Blair picked up 18 points and 13 boards for the Spurs in that win, while Dirk Nowitzki sat out the game for Dallas.

The West Region of the NCAA Tournament on Friday has No. 16 Hampton vs. No. 1 Duke (-22.5), No. 13 Oakland vs. No. 4 Texas (-9.5), No. 12 Memphis vs. No. 5 Arizona (-6), and No. 9 Tennessee (-1.5) vs. No. 8 Michigan, while in the East Region it'll be No. 15 Long Island vs. No. 2 North Carolina (-17.5), No. 14 Indiana State vs. No. 3 Syracuse (-11.5), No. 11 Marquette vs. No. 6 Xavier (-2), No. 10 Georgia vs. No. 7 Washington (-5.5), No. 9 Villanova vs. No. 8 George Mason (-1), and No. 16 UTSA vs. No. 1 Ohio State (-21.5). UTSA was the winner of a Play-In contest on Wednesday night.

Over in the Southwest Region on Friday it's then No. 16 Boston University vs. No. 1 Kansas (-22.5), No. 15 Akron vs. No. 2 Notre Dame (-13), No. 14 St. Peter's vs. No. 3 Purdue (-14), No. 10 Florida State vs. No. 7 Texas A&M (pick'em), No. 9 Illinois vs. No. 8 UNLV (-2), and No. 11 VCU vs. No. 6 Georgetown (-5.5). VCU topped USC by a score of 59-46 in the other Wednesday Play-In matchup to advance to the Round of 64.

Taking a trip around the rink . . .

Finally, the NHL offers up four games on Friday with the Islanders at Carolina, Washington at New Jersey, Montreal at the Rangers, and Phoenix at Vancouver. The Coyotes and Canucks last met on March 8 in Phoenix, with the home side losing 4-3 in overtime as a +115 underdog in that OVER result. Dan Hamhuis (with two), Henrik Sedin, and Sami Salo had the goals for the Canucks in that victory, while Roberto Luongo made 31 saves. Eric Belanger, Shane Doan, and Lauri Korpikoski replied with markers for the Coyotes in that loss, and Ilya Bryzgalov gave up four goals on 39 shots.

Friday’s betting tips: Duke’s Irving will play but is Kobe out?

Key stat

10-3 – The Duke Blue Devils have been favored by at least 17.5 points 13 times this season and have covered the number in 10 of those games. Duke is currently set as a 23-point favorite over No. 16 seed Hampton on Friday.

Injury that shouldn’t be overlooked

Kyrie Irving, Duke Blue Devils: Freshman point guard Kyrie Irving will play in Friday’s game against Hampton, though he will come off the bench and his minutes will be limited. Irving hasn’t played since injuring his right foot on Dec. 4. Irving played only eight games this season, but made a major impression by posting 17.5 points and 5.1 assists per contest.

Game of the day

No. 11 Marquette vs. No. 6 Xavier (-2.5, 140)

Notable quotable

“It scared us,” Notre Dame star Ben HanXXXough said of last year’s shocking loss to Old Dominion in the first round of the Tournament. “I think it’s been the driving factor since. At the beginning of our summer workouts, we were constantly talking about Old Dominion, constantly talking about getting upset.” – The No. 2 Irish are pegged as 14-point favorites over Akron.

Covers Expert Steve Merril also has a bunch of great NCAA quotes in his latest Fullcourt Report.

Notes and tips

A report out of the L.A. Times suggests Lakers bench boss Phil Jackson may sit Kobe Bryant Friday against Minnesota to rest his ankle injury. Bryant didn’t participate in Thursday’s practice and when questioned whether Kobe’s ankle might need a night off he responded, “It might be. We'll just see how it is [Friday]. He says he's got good strength in his ankle. It's still swollen quite a bit, but he has a strength in it that he feels he can play."

Channing Frye is hoping to return from his shoulder injury to play for the Phoenix Suns when they host the Golden State Warriors even though reports indicate he’s 50-50 for the game. At any rate, he’s well ahead of schedule and the Suns could definitely use his help as they have lost four straight, covering just three times over the last nine games. Frye is averaging better than 12 points and six rebounds per game.

The Washington Capitals could have Nicklas Backstrom, their No. 1 center back, in the lineup Friday, which would be perfect timing as the Caps line up against the surging New Jersey Devils. Backstrom has been out the past five games with a fractured thumb, but sits second in team scoring with 55 points.

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


Friday's List of 13: Wrapping up the first day of March Madness.....

13) When it comes to teams playing in the NCAA tournament, the two most important words are: Survive. Advance.

12) Tremendous set of afternoon games, with Morehead State's upset of Louisville the most eye-popping result. Kentucky prevented the scenario of a Black Thursday in the Commonwealth by barely nipping Princeton. The night games weren't nearly as captivating; tough act to follow.

11) Butler won at the buzzer against Old Dominion, just second time all season the Monarchs were outrebounded. Bulldogs grabbed 16 offensive boards on their 37 misses, thats 43.2%, a very high mark.

10) How awful is Vanderbilt in this tournament? They lost to Richmond as a 5-seed, meaning in last four years, they're 0-3 in NCAAs, even though they were #4-4-5 seeds. Its the worst stretch of ineptitude by a favored team in tournament history.

9) Good news for Richmond is that they beat Vandy; bad news is that the schools who need new coaches (Oklahoma/NC State/Georgia Tech) raised their offers to Mooney as soon as this game ended. If Richmond were to get to the Sweet 16, it'll be a fun time to be Mooney's agent. .

8) How do the Spiders go 12-24 from the arc and 5-12 from the foul line? Spiders had only three turnovers. College ball is a guard's game.

7) Wisconsin made 12-22 from arc to easily beat a Belmont team that was a fashionable upset pick; Bo Ryan is now 9-1 in NCAA 1st-round games. His next problem is that he is only 3-5 in the second round.

6) Richmond-Morehead State will be the 10th matchup of 12-13 seeds in the NCAAs since 1987; stat of the day is that in the previous nine 12-13 matchups, the favorite went 8-1 against the spread. Advantage, Spiders.

5) Morehead State's famous alumni include Billy Ray Cyrus, Phil Simms and the original host of Wheel of Fortune, Chuck Woolery.

4) Referee Tim Higgins won't be working the NCAA tournament, which is punishment for the Rutgers-St John's fiasco in NYC last week, when the refs screwed up the last 0:02 of a close game. You hope this isn't the end of the line for a guy who has had a tremendous career as an official.

3) The NCAA has to make it so the winners of the play-in games play on Friday; its only fair. Having Clemson play the 12:15 Thursday game was, as my high school chemistry teacher used to say, nonsensical.

2) ESPN's bracket contest has over 5.9M entries; only 11,546 entries had a perfect afternoon. Only 317 had a perfect day. Out of 5.9 MILLION.

1) Sunday night Jay Bilas called the tournament "idiot-proof" and he was right; this event never disappoints. One great day down, 16 more games on the agenda for Friday. Enjoy the action.....

Friday, March 18

Friday afternoon NCAA games
Oakland plays at #7 pace, faced #3 non-conference schedule in country, losing to West Virginia (24), Purdue (15), Illinois (11), Michigan St (1), Ohio State (29) with win at Tennessee. Grizzlies are 18-1 in last 19 games- they’re #3 in EFG%, which counts 3’s as 1.5 hoops- they make 55.8% of their 2-point shots. Texas is #1 in country in defensive efficiency, but was just 4-4 in last eight games (three of four wins by 12+ points); Longhorns are 7-2 in last nine 1st-round games, with six of seven wins by 12+ points (both losses came in 8-9 games). #4 seed in West is just 2-9 vs spread last 11 years, with four SU losses (three in last five years). Texas shoots just 64.5% from line.

Tennessee is 12-14 in its last 26 games since starting season 7-0; they’re 4-7 in last 11 games (no wins by more than 9 points), with Pearl being bigger distraction than any player (suspended 8 games by SEC). Vols shot only 30.4% from arc, figure to see ton of 1-3-1 from clever coach Beilein, whose young Wolverines are 9-4 in last 13 games, winning last five against teams ranked lower than #50 (Vols are #55). Tennessee likes to press; Michigan is ranked #14 in least turnovers. Wolverines make lot of 3’s playing #323 pace, so they work ball on defense, exploiting teams with short attention span (Tennessee is one of those). Big 11 teams are 14-9 vs spread in non-league games where spread is 3 or less points.

Notre Dame starts five seniors; they’re 9-0 vs teams ranked lower than 100th (Akron is #123), with eight of nine wins by 23+ points. Irish are 12-2 in last 14 games, but Akron is 11-1 in its last 12 games, with two of last three wins in OT. Zips are 0-4 vs teams ranked #73 or better (ND is #10), with losses by 13-35-8-8 points (last of those was Dec. 23). MAC double digit underdogs are 20-15 vs spread out of conference this season. Over last six NCAA tourneys, favorites of from 10.5-19 points are 19-22-1 vs spread, 8-11 last 2+ seasons. #2 seeds are 10-14 vs spread in first round last six years. Big East double digit favorites are 26-22 vs spread this year.

Villanova lost its last five games, is 5-10 in its last 15; they're first team since 2006 to get in NCAAs after losing last 4+ games, first team since '85 to get in losing five in row- their last win was in OT vs DePaul, not exactly a quality win. George Mason won 16 of last 17 games, but didn't play team ranked in top 50 (Villanova is still #28); they split pair with #54 ODU. Stokes' health is huge for Wildcats, who are thin and haven't been same since he got hurt. Villanova won four of last five in first round with last loss to Kentucky in '07. Mason makes 39.7% from arc, 12th in country. Big East teams are 9-8 when spread is 2 or less points.

Arizona missed NCAAs LY for first time in quarter century, but reality is, this is only second time since '03 that they're seeded above #8, so the decline was gradual- now they're back behind star F Williams who makes 60% outside arc, 62% inside it. Memphis coach Pastner played/coached at Arizona; his Tigers finished 4th in Conference USA, but beat UTEP in El Paso to win its conference tourney. #5-seeds are 4-8 vs spread in first round last three years. Only one senior in rotation for both teams. C-USA road underdogs of less than 8 points are 12-10 vs spread. Pac-10 road favorites of less than 7 points are 2-8 vs spread this season.

No 16-seed has ever beaten a #1, but Hampton (2001) is last 15-seed to upset a #2 (Iowa State); Pirates only played one team all year ranked in top 150- they lost to Colorado State by hoop on a neutral floor. MEAC teams lost last nine first round games, but only one of nine losses was by more than 22 points, in '09 when Morgan State lost by 28 to Blake Griffin's Oklahoma. Duke is 12-1 in last 13 first-round games, with eight of 12 wins by 24+ points. #1 seeds are 10-6 vs spread last four years. Since 1998, Duke is 5-3 vs spread in first round when a #1 seed.

Florida State isn't good tournament team, losing last five ACC/NCAA games by 10-2-7-6-1 points; their last NCAA tournament win was '98 as a 12-seed vs TCU. Texas A&M won first round game in each of last five tourneys, winning by 8-16-5-13-16 points. Aggies started year 16-1 with only loss to ACC's Boston College on neutral court; they're 2-3 last five games- they're one of few teams in country that scores higher %age of points from foul line than behind arc. Seminoles are #2 defensive team in country; injured star Singleton was upset he didn't play last weekend, so he should go. ACC teams are 12-8 in games where spread is 3 or less.

Tex-San Antonio led by 27 at half in play-in game Wednesday, survived minor scare, advance to play #1 seed Ohio State in Cleveland, virtually a true road game. Roadrunners are 0-2 vs top 100 teams, losing to Tulsa by 25, Oklahoma State by 16. Southland teams ae 1-5 in this round last six years, with only one loss by more than 15 points. Buckeyes could be looking ahead to whoever wins Villanova-George Mason game. Big 11 double digit favorites are 18-17 vs spread this season. #1 seeds are 8-4 vs spread last three years, but #1 seed East region in just 5-13-1 in first round over the last 19 years.

Friday night NCAA games
Kansas is 7-0 vs teams ranked lower than 150th, winning by 38-33-41-57-25-27-47 points. Jayhawks won last eight games (3-4-1 vs spread), are 6-6 vs spread as non-conference favorite this year. Boston U is 0-3 vs top 100 teams, losing by 16 to Villanova, 34 to Kentucky, by 16 at Hawai'i. #1 seeds are 9-4 vs spread in last 13 tournament games. Big 12 favorites of 20+ points are 9-7 vs spread this season. Since 2008, first-round favorites of 20+ points are 8-2 vs spread. America East teams lost last five tournament games, by 13-27-19-24-23 points.

LIU plays at #4 pace in America, so Blackbirds won't back down, but LIU is 0-2 vs top 100 teams, losing 81-65 to Northwestern and 88-82 to Iona- they've won 13 games in row and 21 of 22, leading US in getting to foul line (even though they shoot only 64.5% from foul line). North Carolina is 7-0 vs teams ranked lower than 100th (LIU is #121), winning by 14-44-11-27-25-49-14 points. UNC is 14-2 in its last 16 games, with both losses to Duke. #2 seeds are 11-7 vs spread in this round since '07. ACC double digit favorites are 23-25 against the spread this season.

Purdue suspended backup PG Barlow this week, which will hurt their defense; Boilers lost last two games, scoring 65-56 points-- if you read between lines, this team may have internal problems, but they shouldn't be fatal against St Peter's squad that finished 4th in MAAC. Peacocks turn ball over 23.4% of time (321nd out of 345 teams in US), they're so much better on defense than offense- if they can protect ball, they can keep this close. St Peter's played #66 non-league schedule, with a 50-49 win over Alabama the highlight. Purdue is 8-0 vs teams ranked lower than #100, winning by 36-55-22-19-18-20-13-25 points.

Xavier has survived lot of injuries to post 24-7 record, so much so that they've used their bench less than any team in America; Musketeers won 16 of last 18 games, but did get upset in first A-14 tourney game, 68-67 to Dayton. Xavier split pair vs Big East foes, losing to Cincinnati by 20 in inner-city rivalry, beating Seton Hall by 5. Marquette is 2-3 in its last five games, 4-7 in last 11 neutral/road games; they're not good defending the 3-pointer (36.3%, 272nd) or shooting it (318th in %age of points on 3's). Big East underdogs of 4 or less points are 6-5 against the spread.

UNLV is 0-5 vs BYU/San Diego State, 24-3 vs everyone else, with win over Wisconsin last fall; Rebels do everything well but shoot 3's (33.3%, 225th in US); they've won six of last seven games, but are just 3-6 when facing top 35 teams (3-1 vs non-league teams in top 35). Illinois is 9-12 in last 21 games after starting out 10-1; they're 334th in US in getting to foul line. Illini 1-8 in last nine road/neutral games, 1-6 in their last seven games vs top 36 teams- they've been a disappointment. Big 11 clubs are 7-11 vs spread when number was 3 or less points. Teams from MWC are 10-11 vs spread in games where spread was 4 or less points.

Washington lost PG Gaddy during season, then suspended Overton last week for Pac-10 tourney, which they won, but Overton is back now- is that good news? Huskies lost to Kentucky by 7 on Maui in their only games vs SEC foe- they covered one of last six games as a favorite, and are 4-6 vs spread in last 10 road/neutral games. Georgia is an experienced team with little depth but they have two NBA players; Dawgs are 0-3 in OT this year, losing to Notre Dame/Florida/Alabama. Pac-10 favorites of less than 7 points are 9-14 vs spread, 2-9 on road. SEC underdogs of 5+ points are 6-14-1 vs spread. Not crazy about Washington's chemistry, or fact that they're travelled over 2,100 miles to get to Charlotte.

Georgetown lost its last four games, scoring 51.5 ppg with PG Wright out (hand); he is expected to play here, but is he 100% and how much has he practiced? Big East favorites of less than 7 points are 26-21 vs spread this season. CAA road underdogs of less than 7 points are 15-10 vs spread. VCU held USC to 46 points in play-in win Wednesday; they at least get night game here, instead of noon game Clemson had. CAA teams don't often get a shot at the mighty Hoyas; five of VCU's last seven games were decided by seven or less points. Rams made 9 of 24 from arc had 15 offensive boards vs athletic foe in Wednesday's win.

Indiana State won/covered its last eight games- they haven't played in 12 days. Syracuse plays their 2-3 zone, so you need to shoot 3's to upset them, like Seton Hall did; Indiana State makes 35.5% from arc and gets over 30% of its points from arc, so they're capable. Sycamores are 0-2 vs teams in top 30, losing to Purdue by 13, Notre Dame by 9. Big East double digit favorites are 27-21 this season. MVC double digit underdogs are 4-7 vs spread. #3-seeds are 11-7 vs spread in first round since '07; #3-seed in East is 6-12 vs spread in first round last 18 years. Syracuse beat UNI by 22 in its only game vs MVC team this season.

Golden State Warriors at Phoenix Suns (-5, 216)

Steve Nash was supposed to return to the lineup off his pelvic injury on Wednesday and magically resurrect the Suns’ offense while putting an end to the team’s five-game losing streak. Well, he came back but couldn’t end the skid.

Nash managed eight points and 10 assists in a 100-95 loss to the Hornets and Suns bettors may want to temper their expectations of the Canadian point guard for the next little while. Nash gutted out 35 minutes but wasn’t nearly as potent as he normally is.

"He tried, but he's not the same guy," Suns coach Alvin Gentry told reporters. "I didn't expect him to be.”

Now the Suns have to find a way to get their offense going against the high-scoring Warriors. Phoenix normally has its way with Golden State, but this one could be tricky with Nash hobbled.

The last three meetings between the two clubs have played under and riding that trend may be your best bet here.

Pick: Under


NCAA National Invitation Tournament

California Golden Bears vs. Colorado Buffaloes (-5.5, 155)

Consider this matchup an appetizer for next season when Colorado joins Cal in what will become the Pac-12.

California squeaked past Mississippi 77-74 in the opening round of the NIT, backed by a big game from Jorge Gutierrez. The 6-foot-3 guard put up 23 points and hit a pair of clutch free throws in the final minute to seal the deal, but this matchup with the top-seeded Buffaloes will be a major test.

After being snubbed by the NCAA Selection Committee four days earlier, Alec Burks dropped 27 points and Cory Higgins added 25 as Colorado ousted Texas Southern 88-74 in the opening round. However, coach Tad Boyle wasn’t overly impressed.

"We'll take that, I guess. It wasn't the prettiest game,” Boyle told reporters. “I thought mentally, we were a little out of it . . . we had a little funk to us, if you will. We didn't have that mojo we need to have.”

This is the kind of game that should get Colorado going.

Pick: Buffaloes
