Armadillo: Thursday's six-pack

The kid from Grinnell College scored 138 points Tuesday, making 27-71 from the arc (38%). Ridiculous numbers against a horrible team, but its still not easy making 27-71, even in an empty gym. Here are what the Big East teams shot behind the arc last season...........

Cincinnati-- 34.1%
Providence-- 35.3%
UConn-- 33.2%
Rutgers-- 33.5%
DePaul-- 33.5%
St John's-- 28.7%
Georgetown-- 34.4%
Seton Hall-- 35.3%
Louisville-- 31.8%
South Florida-- 31.3%
Marquette-- 33.7%
Syracuse-- 34.9%
Notre Dame-- 33.2%
Villanova-- 31.5%
Pittsburgh-- 34.9%
West Virginia-- 29.8%

******

Armadillo: Thursday's List of 13: Our football list of 13......

5) Florida— Could find themselves in national title game without playing in SEC title game; had a tremendous September.

4) Oregon—If Stanford wins at UCLA, Ducks miss Pac-12 title game.

3) Ohio State—No one coaches other people’s recruits better than Urban Meyer. Hasn't had many teams made up entirely of his recruits.

2) Notre Dame—Gordon Gekko’s favorite college football team; how about joining a league in football, too? .

1) Alabama—No doubt in my mind they’re the best team.

8) Steelers—On assumption Big Ben is coming back soon.

7) Packers—7-3, and they got hosed out of MNF game in Seattle; beat both Texans/Bears. Have chance to avenge LY's playoff loss this week.

6) 49ers—Were impressive Monday night, but Rams tied them week before, and should’ve beaten them. QB controversy when Smith is healthy?

5) Ravens—Don’t really trust Flacco, but they’ve won lot of games.

4) Falcons—Played terribly last week, still won; will need much, much better effort to win in Tampa this week.

3) Broncos—Last time Broncos visited Arrowhead, their QB completed two passes all day, and they still won.

John Fox is lot happier now than he was then; he has a better QB now.

2) Patriots—Brady is one of five best QBs of all time.

1) Texans—Need home field thru AFC playoffs; struggled mightily in elements in Chicago two weeks ago.
