    Armadillo: Friday's six-pack

    -- Joakim Noah had 23 points, 21 rebounds, 11 blocks at the Bulls beat up on Philly; triple-doubles like that include blocks are very rare.

    -- Virginia 73, Duke 68-- Blue Devils are 0-4 in true road games against top 100 teams this season.

    -- Gonzaga 70, BYU 65-- Zags are looking like a #1 seed in NCAAs.

    -- Tenn-Martin 69, Murray 68-- Skyhawks were a 20-point underdog!!!

    -- Louisiana Tech 84, Utah State 61-- Bulldogs are 15-0 in the WAC, might still have to win conference tourney to make NCAAs.

    -- Oregon 85, Oregon State 75-- Ducks were down seven at half.

    Armadillo: Friday's List of 13: Things I'm looking for in March........

    March is one of the best months of the year; tons of college basketball, spring training, the weather around here usually gets better, lot of good stuff going on. We’re approaching this March with as sense of optimism….here are some things I’m looking for this month.

    13) Just the sound of ball meeting bat means winter is almost over; so what if #98 is pitching to #87, in a matchup of two prospects destined to spend the summer in the California Penal League? Its baseball, and its always good when spring training starts up.

    12) College basketball is our favorite sport, which makes March one of our favorite months; Championship Week is almost as much fun as the NCAA tournament itself, since for some teams, just getting in is the main thing. Love to see teams celebrate when they win their conference tournaments.

    11) Teams that will be very, very nervous until they win their conference tournament: Northeastern-Louisiana Tech-Belmont-Long Beach.

    These teams won their regular season in their leagues, but won’t be going to the NCAAs unless they win the league tournament, too. Tech is unbeaten in the WAC; would be a shame if they got upset out west.

    10) VCU’s old league, the CAA, will only have seven teams in its conference tournament, as four of its 11 schools are ineligible for the tourney this year. Northeastern gets the #1 seed and a bye, so they’ll have to win two pressure-packed games to make the NCAAs.

    9) With the NCAA field expanded to 68 teams, no one who is excluded has that much of a gripe, but whomever #69/#70 are will whimper for a while, then limp off to the NIT. Question is, can any of the First Four teams make a run through the brackets, the way VCU did two years ago? VCU’s run was a God-send for the NCAA, silencing any complaints about those first four games in Dayton. Can it happen again?

    8) No #1 seed has ever lost to a #16 seed; is this the year? Who will those four #1 seeds be? This season, #1 teams have been getting bounced left and right, so it figures that this could be a year where a #16 seed pulls a shocker, but the talent different between those teams is so big, a lot of things will have to fall into place for the big upset to happen.

    7) This time of year, I don’t want to see the name of any the guys on my fantasy baseball team in the news; its almost always bad news. No injuries this year, please? I'm looking at you, Carl Crawford.

    6) They’re selling hats from World Baseball Classic teams for $35 a pop; not good. Do people watch the WBC? I’m not sure if I’ll watch it or not, I guess I will if its on when basketball isn’t. Just hope Jose Reyes doesn’t pop a hammy running out a grounder.

    5) Speaking of which, Dodgers can’t be real happy that Hanley Ramirez is playing 3B at the WBC so Reyes can play short; LA needs Ramirez to gets used to playing a solid shortstop. Tom Gordon killed them with sloppy defense at short LY.

    4) Pac-12 tourney is in Las Vegas for first time, at MGM Arena; with Bill Walton calling games on ESPN, this could replace Big East as the premiere conference tournament on TV.

    Walton is capable of saying anything at any time; he really is fun to listen to, especially if it’s a good game- conference tournaments produce good games.

    3) First major league baseball game that counts is March 31, Astros-Rangers, Houston’s first game as an AL team.

    Opening Day is the next day. Interleague play will be every day now, with 15 teams in each league for the first time.

    2) For every winner there is a loser, and in big-time college sports, losers get fired. The coaching carousel will start spinning faster in March; right now USC is the #1 job that could be open, but Old Dominion has a strong history too and that job is already open. By the time the Final Four rolls around, a lot more jobs will be open.

    1) Common wisdom I’ve heard on TV is that around 20 teams have a legit chance to make the Final Four; that’s a lot. People’s brackets are going to have some diversity to them this year. Enjoy your March and good luck with your brackets!!!

              ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
              Are dog-dominated conferences primed for postseason upsets?
              ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

              Heading into Thursday’s college basketball schedule, underdogs have gone 1573-1533-55 against the spread (50.64 percent) this season, which sits par for the course as far as oddsmakers are concerned.

              Some conferences have followed suit, like the Mountain West, which enters Thursday’s slate with a 28-28-2 ATS record for underdogs in conference play. But other leagues, like the Pac-12, have – for lack of a better term – gone to the dogs.

              As of Thursday, Pac-12 underdogs have produced a 54-31-2 ATS record – covering the spread at a profitable 63 percent.

              While pups have posted just a 32-55 SU mark in those games, the ATS numbers show just how volatile the Pac-12 can be. Southern California’s 89-78 win over No. 11 Arizona as a 7.5-point home underdog Wednesday is a prime example.

              Knowing which conferences have been bountiful to underdog bettors is not only useful in the final weeks of the schedule but shines light on which leagues have the most upset potential come conference tournament time.

              Here are the best conferences for underdog bettors and how their tournaments are shaping up:

              Pac-12 – 63 percent (Underdogs are 54-31-2 ATS, 32-55 SU)

              Four teams are fighting it out for the top seed in the Pac-12 tournament – Oregon, UCLA, Arizona, Cal – but as Wednesday’s schedule proved (all three underdogs covered, two won SU), no team is safe no matter where they sit in the standings. Betting the Pac-12 postseason could be as easy as blindly siding with the underdogs each game.

              Southern Conference – 59 percent (Underdogs are 57-39-2 ATS, 31-67 SU)

              Davidson is the class of the Southern once again at 16-1 SU in conference play. However, the Wildcats are just 8-9 ATS and have been favorites in each of those conference clashes. Finding value in the Southern tournament will come from those teams below Davidson, like Samford, which is 9-7 SU but 13-3 ATS in conference play - nine of those paydays coming as an underdog.

              Missouri Valley Conference – 58 percent (Underdogs are 47-33-3 ATS, 30-53 SU)

              The MVC is one of the best little conferences in the land and the postseason race is hot and heavy with Wichita State and Creighton tied atop the standings heading into a showdown this Saturday. Both of those programs are in the conversation for an at-large NCAA bid but have also fallen at the hands of lesser MVC foes. Evansville could be the wildcard in the bunch, with two wins over WSU and six of their nine ATS conference wins coming as an underdog.

              Colonial Athletic Association – 57 percent (Underdogs are 52-39-0 ATs, 37-54 SU)

              Northeastern has already clinched the CAA regular season title, with one game remaining on the schedule, and there is a nice battle for second in the conference between Delaware and Towson. George Mason, Georgia State and James Madison all finished with double-digit conference wins. The Panthers took one win over Northeastern this season and nearly knocked off the Huskies in overtime Wednesday. The CAA tournament could very well pop a NCAA bubble for one of the major-conference program if there's an upset winner.

              Summit League – 55 percent (Underdogs are 36-29-0 ATS, 21-44 SU)

              Heading into the final string of schedule, just two games separate No. 1 South Dakota State and No. 4 Oakland in the Summit standings. The Jackrabbits have the makings of a Cinderella team come March Madness but the league tournament could snuff out that shocker before Selection Sunday, especially if star Nate Wolters is slowed by a back injury. The fourth-place Golden Grizzlies have wins over South Dakota State and Western Illinois this year and could be a dog to watch in the postseason.

                      Grizzlies at Heat: What bettors need to know
                      ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

                      Memphis Grizzlies at Miami Heat (-8, 187.5)

                      The Memphis Grizzlies and the Miami Heat have combined to win 20 straight games. One of the two longest current winning streaks in the NBA will come to an end on Friday when the Heat host the Grizzlies. Miami has taken 12 straight and is beginning to run away with the Eastern Conference as its defense catches up to LeBron James and the offense. Memphis and its league-best scoring defense is victorious in eight straight.

                      James added to his MVP resume with 40 points and 16 assists in a 141-129 double-overtime win over Sacramento on Tuesday, improving the Heat’s league-best home record to 25-3. Miami has looked far from invincible in its last two games, however, needing a late surge to topple Cleveland on Sunday before the scare against lowly Sacramento. The Grizzlies are allowing 89.5 points on the season and held the Dallas Mavericks to five in the third quarter of Wednesday’s 90-84 triumph. The 84 points marked the most the team has surrendered in its last four contests.

                      TV:
                      8 p.m. ET, SPSO (Memphis), SUN (Miami), ESPN

                      ABOUT THE GRIZZLIES (38-18):
                      Memphis went through a transitional period in the wake of the trade that sent Rudy Gay to Toronto at the end of January, but has found itself again as a defensive force. The Grizzlies are surrendering 86.6 points during their winning streak while receiving just enough offense from the likes of Zach Randolph, Marc Gasol and Mike Conley to earn victories. Only one of the last eight triumphs has come by more than seven points. Without Gay around to dominate the ball, Memphis is playing more to its strengths on the interior. Randolph has recorded five straight double-doubles and Gasol has picked up his pace with 18 points and 10.7 rebounds over his last three contests. Gasol was held to two points and 10 boards in the first meeting with Miami but Randolph went for 18 and 12 and the defense held the Heat to 38 percent shooting in a 104-86 home win on Nov. 11.

                      ABOUT THE HEAT (41-14):
                      James scored 20 points on 10-of-19 shooting in the Nov. 11 meeting but Dwyane Wade was held to eight points on 3-of-15 from the floor. Wade has been much stronger during the Heat’s recent surge and went for 39 points in Tuesday’s win over the Kings. The All-Star guard has complimented James with an average of 24.5 points on over 50 percent shooting during the winning streak. James is averaging 29.8 points on 65 percent shooting, 8.3 assists and 7.6 rebounds over the last 12 games. The reigning MVP has become even more of an Internet sensation due to his pregame dunking routine, which he uses to help get his team get pumped up in the final minutes of warmups. Miami had allowed an average of 92.4 points in the first 10 games of its streak before letting up a bit at home over the last two.

                      TRENDS:

                      * Over is 6-0 in Heat’s last six home games.
                      * Heat are 4-1 ATS in their last five vs. Western Conference foes.
                      * Grizzlies are 7-1 ATS in their last eight games following an ATS loss.
                      * Over is 8-2 in Heat’s last 10 overall.

                      BUZZER BEATERS:

                      1. Memphis has won two of its last three trips to Miami, including a 97-82 triumph on Apr. 6 last season.

                      2. Heat F Shane Battier (hamstring) and G Mike Miller (sinus infection) are both questionable for Friday.

                        NBA betting: Nuggets continue to soar over totals
                        ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

                        No team has taken advantage of the All-Star break more than the Denver Nuggets.

                        The Nuggets have used the extra rest to fuel their offense and play over the total in four of five (4-1 SU) since the break, picking up right where they left off as an awesome over play for bettors. Oddsmakers continue to set the bar higher and higher for this team as the season progresses, but the Nugs seem to continually rise to the occasion.

                        Denver boasts a 37-22 O/U mark heading into action Friday against Oklahoma City and is 20-4 O/U in its last 24 contests. The Nuggets are averaging 105.5 points per game (3rd) and allowing 101.8 points (26th) – the perfect storm for an over play.

                        Denver has pumped up its offensive output even more over its last five games, putting up an average of 110.6 points. Oddsmakers have failed in their attempts to counter the scoring frenzy, despite setting an average total of 209.5 for those contests.

                        Danilo Gallinari, who has missed the last two games with a thigh injury, leads a well-balanced Nuggets attack that features six players that average double digits in scoring on a nightly basis.

                        Denver has also been pounding the glass, hauling in an average of 45 rebounds per night (2nd) and a league-best 13.5 offensive boards. The second-chance opportunities are a major reason why the Nuggets continue to soar over 100 points with ease.

                        Denver plays four of its next five games at Pepsi Center against over-friendly opposition. Those opponents (Thunder, Hawks, Kings, Clippers, T-Wolves) have a combined 151-129-5 O/U mark.

                        Oddsmakers have sent out a suggested total of 220 for Friday's contest, which would be the highest number both teams have seen this season.

                          NBA Top 4: Best double-digit underdog bets
                          ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

                          NBA bettors are going to see pointspreads get bigger and bigger as the playoffs draw near. Teams in the postseason hunt will clash with clubs with no playoff prayer in the next two months, leaving oddsmakers no choice but to pile on the chalk.

                          The struggling Minnesota Timberwolves are a perfect example of that, getting 10.5 points from books for Thursday's road game versus the postseason-pushing Los Angeles Lakers.

                          Double-digit underdogs have only shown up 99 times this season heading into Thursday, going 47-50-2 against the spread (10-89 SU). But there are some teams who have made the most of those points, coming up big for backers when tagged as double-digit dogs.

                          Washington Wizards (3-8 SU, 8-3 ATS as double-digit underdogs)

                          The Wizards are the biggest betting surprise of the season, posting a 34-20-2 ATS record. Washington has thrived as a double-digit dog, going 8-3 ATS. Most of those came on the road, where the Wiz are a stellar 17-9-1 ATS.

                          Orlando Magic (2-6 SU, 7-1 ATS as double-digit underdogs)

                          One of the reasons why Washington is third in the Southeast Division is the poor play of Orlando this year. The Magic have only four wins in their last 33 games but have covered as double-digit dogs in five of their six contests when getting 10 or more points.

                          Cleveland Cavaliers (2-6 SU, 7-1 ATS as double-digit underdogs)

                          Cleveland recently covered as 12.5-point pups at Miami, giving the champion Heat a scare in a 109-105 loss on Feb. 24. The Cavaliers have been the hot bet – no matter what the spread – in recent weeks (6-0 ATS in their last six), and will likely see double-digit spreads in upcoming games with the Clippers, Grizzlies, and Spurs.

                          Dallas Mavericks (0-5 SU, 4-1 ATS as double-digit underdogs)

                          At first glance, we thought these numbers were off. But, the Mavs have been big pups in five games this season – at Clippers, at Miami, at OKC, at San Antonio, at Memphis – and while they lost all five of those outings, they managed to cover in all but one. Don’t hold your breath waiting for the next opportunity to back Dirk & Co. as a Triple-D but they could get 10 or more points in San Antonio on March 14.
