Armadillo: Friday's six-pack

-- Over the last three years, Derrick Rose has played in 49 of the Bulls’ 246 regular season games. During that time, he’s been paid $41,028,896 by Chicago, or $853,650.84 per game.

-- Oklahoma City was 23-5 before Russell Westbrook got hurt; without him, they're now 20-7.

-- Lakers have lost seven straight home games, their worst-ever streak.

-- 37-year old AJ Burnett signs with Phillies for one year, $16M, one last cash grab; what pitcher goes to a worse team in a smaller ballpark?

-- Missouri 86, Arkansas 85-- Bob Knight was the analyst for this game; something tells me he didn't enjoy watching it. Lot of enthusiasm, not lot of efficiency, not exactly Knight's style.

-- A new college football rule that would prohibit snapping the ball in the first ten seconds of the play clock is a ploy by coaches who don’t want to defend against the hurry-up offense. It is total BS; there is no evidence that playing hurry-up causes more injuries.

Friday's Olympic hockey cheat sheet

Here's a look at Friday's Olympic men's hockey action (odds courtesy Bet365):

Czech Republic vs. Latvia (+540)

The Czechs started flat in their opening game and couldn't recover, ultimately falling 4-2 to Sweden. They should have an easier time of it against a Latvian squad that dropped a 1-0 heartbreaker to Switzerland but simply doesn't have the offensive firepower to keep up with the elite teams. Ondrej Pavelec is expected to get the start in goal for the Czech Republic after being held out of the opener as Jakub Kovar drew the start against the Swedes but was yanked after allowing three goals on 11 shots.

Sweden vs. Switzerland (+420)

The Swedish offense looked impressive in its win over the Czech Republic, getting a pair of goals from standout defenseman Erik Karlsson and singles from Henrik Zetterberg and Patrik Berglund. Zetterberg is a question mark for the game with a herniated disc issue in his back; he'll need to be cleared by NHL doctors before being given the go-ahead to play. The Swiss were fortunate to squeak past Latvia - getting its only goal with 7.9 seconds remaining - and will need a much better performance from its power play, which went 0-for-5 on the evening.

Canada vs. Austria (OFF)

Much was made of the decision to start Carey Price ahead of Roberto Luongo in the Canadian net for the defending champion's tournament opener against the Norwegians. Luongo gets his shot to make a positive contribution against an Austrian side that thoroughly dismantled 8-4 by fringe contender Finland on Thursday. The Austrians showed they won't be pushovers on the offensive end - getting a hat trick from New York Islanders forward Michael Grabner - but looked overwhelmed defensively, surrendering 52 shots and a pair of power-play goals.

Norway vs. Finland (-1,429)

The Finns' balanced lineup has been the focus heading into the competition, and it was on full display in Thursday's rout of the Austrians. Thirteen different players finished with at least one point, led by Mikael Granlund (two goals, one assist), Sami Vatanen (three assists) and Jarkko Immonen (two goals). Veteran forward Teemu Selanne left the game with an upper-body injury, but is expected to be in the lineup against Norway. Expect either Kari Lehtonen or Antti Niemi to start in goal for Finland after Tuukka Rask allowed four goals on 20 shots in the opener.

Game of the Day: Arizona at Arizona State
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Arizona Wildcats at Arizona State Sun Devils (+5, 133)

Arizona proved in its last win that it has enough firepower to remain the frontrunner in the Pac-12, but its remaining path to a conference title figures to test its mettle. The third-ranked Wildcats begin a stretch in which they play five of their final seven games on the road Friday against Arizona State. Arizona lost starter Brandon Ashley for the season in its Feb. 1 setback at California, then struggled in a home victory against Oregon before routing Oregon State on Sunday.

Each of the Wildcats’ five remaining road games is against an opponent they have already defeated, perhaps none of which were more impressive than their 91-68 triumph on Jan. 16 against the Sun Devils. Arizona State has won five of six since that setback, although it has coughed up a second-half lead of at least 16 points in two of its last three victories. “I think for the second game in as many weeks of having a big lead and then losing it, our guys showed great character in retaking the lead and winning both (games),” Sun Devils coach Herb Sendek told the school’s official website.

TV: 9 p.m. ET, ESPN

LINE HISTORY: The early odds out of Las Vegas had Arizona as a 4.5-point road favorite with the total opening at 133 points.

POWER RANKINGS: Arizona (-17.5) - Arizona State (-7.8) - Home Court (-3.0) = Arizona -6.7

INJURY WATCH: Arizona - Brandon Ashley (Out - Foot)

ABOUT ARIZONA (23-1 SU, 14-9 ATS, 5-17 O/U): In the nearly three games that Ashley has missed (he logged two minutes against California), former sixth man Rondae Hollis-Jefferson has stepped into his spot in the lineup and averaged 13.3 points and 7.3 rebounds – each of which is a slight improvement over Ashley’s season averages. The Wildcats outscored the Beavers 40-12 in the paint and 13-0 in second-chance points, continuing their season-long domination in both areas. Arizona owns a plus-13.3 advantage in the paint (854-535) and has nearly doubled up its opponents in second-chance points (326-166).

ABOUT ARIZONA STATE (18-6 SU, 11-11 ATS, 9-12 O/U): Wildcats coach Sean Miller attributed the absence of second-leading scorer Jermaine Marshall – out with a groin injury on Jan. 16 – to Arizona’s success against Jordan Bachynski, who was limited to three points in the first meeting. “You don’t have to account for that 16 points per game…(Friday) will be much more difficult because they have another shooter (Marshall) on the court,” Miller told the Arizona Daily Star. Bachynski was nearly unstoppable last week, averaging 21.5 points, 12 rebounds and eight blocks en route to winning Pac-12 Player of the Week honors.

TRENDS:

* Wildcats are 5-1 ATS in the last six meetings.
* Home team is 4-1 ATS in the last five meetings.
* Under is 39-16-1 in Wildcats' last 56 overall.
* Under is 38-17-3 in Sun Devils' last 58 home games.
