Armadillo's Write-Up

Sunday, November 18

Lot of crazy results early on; Iona loses to Quinnipiac, then beats Wake Forest by 30; Washington loses to Albany at home, then flies cross the country and beats Seton Hall. This period is little like spring training in baseball; have to let these teams get their legs, before they rise or sink to whatever level they'll wind up at. .

-- Florida won its first two games, beating Wisconsin by 18 last game; Gators are shooting 61% inside arc so far- only problem was holding on to the ball. Middle Tennessee beat couple of stiff teams, but they beat UCLA/Ole Miss LY. Sun Belt road underdogs are 2-10 vs spread.

-- Richmond is 3-0, allowing 52.7 ppg; they beat UNCW by 43. Spiders are shooting 41% behind arc, but now hit road, move up in class, facing Minnesota squad that beat three stiffs by 36-26-29 points. Gophers are facing Duke in next game Thursday. A-16 road underdogs are 2-5.

-- Akron is 2-2, losing pair of OT games; Zips are shooting just 38.1% inside arc, 37.8% outside; go figure. Penn State is 2-1 after winning awful OT game with Providence Friday (trailed 16-14 at half). A-16 underdogs are 2-5 against spread. MAC single digit favorites are 1-5.

-- Oklahoma State is 3-0 with OT win over Akron; Cowboys have held opponents to 33.6% inside arc, but are moving up in class vs NC State team that won first three games by 37-17-18 games; Wolfpack is #4 in country in eFG% (63.2%), making 45% behind arc, 61% inside it.


-- Tennessee won two of first three games, losing to Oklahoma State by 17 Friday; Vols are fouling too much early on. UMass won its first two games by total of 5 points, then lost by 18 to NC State. Minutemen are playing at face pace, but are still young, with one senior in rotation.

-- Charleston lost first two games of tourney on its home court by 11 to St John's, 4 to Auburn, scoring just 53 ppg; they're turning ball over on 25.8% of possessions, which is poor. Boston College lost to Baylor by 16, Dayton by 10. ACC teams are 10-3 vs spread away from home.

-- Washington was up 16 at half yesterday, needed 13-2 run in OT in an odd win over Seton Hall team that hit 12-23 behind arc; Huskies are an offense-based team. Ohio State held off gritty URI by 11 Saturday; they made 51% of 3's in wins over teams ranked #221/#259.

-- Rhode Island coach Hurley played at Seton Hall; his Rams play very hard, but lack talent; they're scoring 54.3 ppg, shooting 26% behind arc in 0-3 start. Three Rams played 36+ minutes Saturday. Seton Hall was down 16 at half, made 12-23 from arc but lost to Washington in OT.

-- St John's led Murray State most of way Friday but lost by 5; they're shooting 23.9% behind arc, not forcing many turnovers, but are blocking 18% of opponents' shots. Baylor is shooting 61% inside arc- they beat BC by by 10, before Colorado avenged LY's NCAA loss by a hoop.

-- Murray State held first three foes to 16.7% behind arc, but now they are playing well-coached Colorado squad that has one senior in rotation. Young Buffs beat Baylor by hoop Friday, avenging loss in LY's NCAA tourney- they're making 40% of treys. Pac-12 road teams are 5-3.

-- New Mexico won its first two games by 7-5 points, rallying from 16 down to beat Davidson in opener; Lobos don't use bench much, but had Saturday off. George Mason scored just 57 ppg in 2-1 start, making 52.1% of foul shots, with all three games decided by 4 or less points.

-- Stanford is off to 3-0 start, with 13-point win over Fullerton, pretty good team; Pac-12 home favorites of less than 15 points are 7-1 against spread. Belmont starts two juniors, three seniors; they've played couple stiff teams so far, but they're very well-coached. We'll see 'em in March.

Clemson Faces Gonzaga In Thursday's Old Spice Classic

Clemson Tigers vs. Gonzaga Bulldogs

College Basketball Betting Preview
Date: 11/22/2012 at 9:00 p.m. (ET)
Opening Lines: NA
Television: ESPN2

Clemson Tigers: The first day of the Old Spice Classic in Orlando concludes with the Tigers (2-0 straight-up, 1-0 against the spread) taking on the 'Zags. Coach Brad Brownell begins his third season at Clemson with a search for new guards to run the team after Andre Young and Tanner Smith, last year's top scorers, departed. The Tigers do have experience in the paint, however, with Milton Jennings and Devin Booker back in the fold. Clemson opened with a 77-44 skate past Presbyterian in an unlined affair, then followed up with a 72-55 victory at Furman as 11-point chalk. Sophomore Rod Hall has assumed the duties at point and gives the Tigers solid perimeter defense. Clemson ranks among the early leaders in protecting the basketball with just 14 turnovers combined in the two games so far. The Tigers are also 25th in the nation, hitting 51.3 percent of their shots from the field.

Gonzaga Bulldogs: Coach Mark Few has the Bulldogs (3-0 SU and ATS) off and running with wins and point-spread covers in all three games to begin the 2012-13 campaign. Currently ranked 16th and 17th in the USA Today Coaches and AP polls, respectively, Gonzaga's three victories have been by at least 34 points, including a 34-point rout vs. West Virginia as an 11-point favorite on Nov. 12. The 'Dogs appear to have found a replacement for Robert Sacre's big presence inside as Przemek Karnowski has taken over and leads the team with 16 points per game. Six players are scoring at least 11 points per game, including Kevin Pangos on the point. This is a very talented and deep frontcourt with Elias Harris and Guy Landry Edi joining Karnowski inside, and the Bulldogs will also have 7-footer Kelly Olynyk available for this game after he served a three-game suspension.

Las Vegas Hosts Three Key College Basketball Games Friday

Iowa State Cyclones vs. Cincinnati Bearcats

College Basketball Betting Preview
Date: 11/23/2012 at 6:30 p.m. (ET)
Opening Lines: NA
Television: CBS Sports Network

Iowa State Cyclones: Action in the Global Sports Classic gets underway Friday when the Cyclones (4-0 straight-up, 0-0 against the spread) face Cincinnati at the Thomas & Mack Center. This will be the first lined affair for Iowa State, which moved to 4-0 with an 86-57 rout of North Carolina A&T on Tuesday, dominating the glass with a 52-28 rebounding edge.

Cincinnati Bearcats: Also putting on a rebounding clinic this year are the Bearcats (4-0 SU, 0-1 ATS), who rank first in the country with 53.5 boards per contest. Those numbers have come against a weak schedule, like Iowa State has played, and Coach Mick Cronin's crew is led so far by junior Sean Kilpatrick (19.5 points per game) on the offensive end while junior Justin Jackson (8.0 rebounds per game) is the top rebounder despite averaging just 17 minutes per contest.

Oregon Ducks at UNLV Rebels

College Basketball Betting Preview
Date: 11/23/2012 at 9:00 p.m. (ET)
Opening Lines: NA
Television: CBS Sports Network

Oregon Ducks: Drawing the tournament hosts at the Global Sports Classic are the Ducks (4-0 SU, 2-2 ATS), who reach Sin City unbeaten and having covered their last two trips to the floor. Four players are scoring in double figures, paced by senior forward E.J. Singler (12.8 ppg), the younger brother of former Duke star Kyle Singler. Oregon was 7-7 last season away from home, eventually falling to Washington in the NIT quarterfinals.

UNLV Rebels: Everything sets up for the Runnin' Rebels (2-0 SU, 1-1 ATS) to capture the tourney on their home floor, but Coach Dave Rice's squad will have to shake off a little rust with nearly a week off since their last game. UNLV comes in ranked 18th in both polls and features one of the nation's top freshmen in forward Anthony Bennett, who is averaging a team-high 17 points in the early going.

Creighton Bluejays vs. Wisconsin Badgers

College Basketball Betting Preview
Date: 11/23/2012 at 10:00 p.m. (ET)
Opening Lines: NA
Television: ESPN2

Creighton Bluejays: Not all of the college hoops action this holiday weekend is taking place at the T&M. Over in the Orleans Arena, the Las Vegas Invitational is also getting underway on Friday, and the lineup includes one of the top mid-majors with the Bluejays (4-0 SU, 2-0 ATS) taking on a perennial Big Ten power in Wisconsin. Creighton is led by Player of the Year candidate Doug McDermott (16.8 ppg, 7.5 rpg) and Venezuelan center Gregory Echenique (11.3 ppg, 7.8 rpg).

Wisconsin Badgers: Coach Bo Ryan and the Badgers (3-1 SU, 1-1 ATS) were throttled by Florida a week ago but have since bounced back with wins over Cornell and Presbyterian in preparation for this tourney. Wisconsin was dealt a big blow before the season started when guard Josh Gasser was lost for the year with a knee injury, and the Badgers are still without Mike Bruesewitz being 100 percent following a nasty cut to his right leg in another preseason practice accident.
