Armadillo: Wednesday's six-pack

-- Albany 71, Mt St Mary's 64-- Great Danes play Florida next.

-- Jimmy Rollins needs 61 hits this year to become Phillies' all-time leader in hits and he has a no-trade contract. Chances are he gets the record.

-- If Rollins gets 434+ plate appearances, his $11M deal for '15 kicks in. Wouldn't bet on that happening.

-- Robert Griffin III won't wear his knee brace this fall, or so he says.

-- Cam Newton is having ankle sergery this week (why in March?) is expected back for the start of training camp. Why did he wait?

-- For first time in their history. Celtics went winless (0-15) on road against Western Conference teams.

*****

Armadillo: Wednesday's List of 13: Doing some thinking out loud.......

13) How are these tournament games going to be officiated? New rules? Old rules? Australian Rules? Holy Cross-Brown CIT game Monday night had total of 10 foul shots, but that was with refs who weren’t trying to impress evaluators and move on in the NCAA tournament.

Former Wake Forest coach Dino Gaudio said on ESPNU Sunday night he thought the new rules this season hurt Duke. Interesting point. If the powers-that-be are hung up on enforcing new rules, there could be games with lot of foul shots being taken.

12) When, if ever, will a 1-seed lose to a 16-seed? Not this year; too many upsets in the smaller conference tourneys weakened the bottom of this field.

11) VCU’s run to the Final Four legitimized the First Four concept; which of the upper-level First Four teams can make a run this year?

10) Speaking of which, just when Tennessee coach Cuonzo Martin got the heat off him by making it to the NCAAs, Auburn hit a grand slam and hired former Vols’ coach Bruce Pearl, making the Tigers a player in basketball for the first time in over a decade.

9) Auburn is going to get good, and fast. Whenever a quality coach follows a quality recruiter, it is a bonanza for that school. Pearl is a proven winner in that league. Tony Barbee recruited some talent to the Plains, now Pearl will win with those players and rehabilitate a career that was interrupted by troubles with the NCAA.

8) Providence beat Creighton Saturday night by pushing the Bluejays around inside; Friars have so little depth, can they do the same thing with North Carolina, which has bigger, tougher (if less skilled) guys than Crieghton?

7) Friars and St Joe’s are two teams with almost zero depth, but with TV timeouts longer during the NCAA tournament, conditioning should be less of a problem than if refs blow a tight whistle, like they did in the Providence-Seton Hall game Friday. Hawks also play six guys but they’re six pretty good guys.

6) Does winning one of the bigger conference tournaments give you momentum into the next weekend?

Random samples:
ACC tourney champ covered five of its last six first round NCAA games.
Big X champ is 4-2 vs spread in its first round NCAA game the last six years.
Pac-12 tourney champ covered its first NCAA game four of last five years.

That’s a small sample, but early returns would say that it does help some.

5) Las Vegas radio host Ken Thomson, a keen observer of college hoop, pointed out Monday that this year’s Atlantic 13 is like LY’s Mountain West, when they had a lot of teams in the NCAAs but then struggled in the tournament, making people think the bids weren’t warranted.

I’m not crazy about Saint Louis or UMass, but overall the A-13 has survived the conference juggling and emerged fairly strong.

4) I’ve got a morbid curiosity about how the beaten #1 seeds will do in the NIT. Robert Morris upset St John's in Queens Tuesday night.

3) Nebraska coach Tim Miles was talking on TV the other night about how he had Texas A&M WR Mike Evans in Lincoln on a basketball recruiting visit and that he was a very good hooper. Am thinking Evans made the right decision choosing football.

2) UNLV assistant coach Heath Schroyer is leaving for the head coaching job at Tennessee-Martin, one of the hardest D-I jobs in America. Rumor has former LMU coach Max Good replacing Schroyer on the Rebels’ bench.

1) Boston College fired Steve Donahue, which makes you wonder if Pearl hadn’t taken the Auburn job, would his alma mater have come after him and if so, would Pearl be headed to Boston right now instead of Alabama?

Which NCAA tournament seed is the best bet?

Much is made about the No. 5 versus No. 12 matchup in Round 2 of the NCAA tournament. It seems like every March, at least one No. 12 stuns a No. 5 in one of the opening upsets of March Madness.

Last March, the No. 12 seeds were a bountiful 3-1 SU and ATS against the No. 5 seeds. And, going back to 2007, No. 12 seeds are 12-16 SU but 16-12 ATS versus fifth-seeded opponents.

This year, the No. 12 seeds already in place are Stephen F. Austin (+6.5 vs. VCU), Harvard (+2.5 vs. Cincinnati), and North Dakota State (+4 vs. Oklahoma). The other No. 12-versus-No. 5 matchup will be decided in Round 1, with the winner of the No. 12 play-in game between Xavier and North Carolina State facing No. 5 Saint Louis in Round 2.

The No. 6-No. 11 games are nearly as treacherous for the better seed, with No. 6 teams going 16-12 SU but 13-14-1 ATS. The No. 6 seeds went 3-1 SU and ATS in last year’s tournament, with No. 6 UCLA getting beat by 20 points against No. 11 Minnesota. However, the Golden Gophers were 3-point favorites for that Round of 64 contest.

On the other end of the scale, No. 3 seeds are a consistent cover in their opening game versus No. 14 seeds – more so than No.1 and No. 2 teams.

In 2013, No. 3 seeds went 3-1 but just 2-2 ATS, with third-ranked New Mexico losing outright to No. 14 Harvard as a 10.5-point favorite in the Round of 64. But, looking back over the past seven NCAA tournaments, No. 3 seeds are 26-2 SU and 19-9 ATS.

No. 1 seeds are undefeated in the NCAA tournament, holding a perfect 28-0 SU record since 2007. They’ve also been a solid bet to cover the spread, going 17-10-1 ATS in those games. However, last March, the No. 1 seeds finished the Round of 64 just 1-3 ATS with eventual national champion Louisville as the only top team to come through for bettors in the second round.

Virginia faces the biggest spread of this year’s No. 1 seeds (so far), giving 21 points to opening opponent No. 16 Coastal Carolina. No. 1 Arizona is a 19.5-point favorite versus No. 16 Weber State. The other two No. 1 seeds – Florida and Wichita State – will have their Round 2 foes decided in the play-in games.

The No. 4-versus-No. 13 games have produced a similar record as the No. 1-No. 16 contests, going 21-7 SU and 17-11 ATS since 2007. Fourth-seeded programs were 3-1 SU and ATS in 2013, with No. 4 Kansas State as the lone blemish. The Wildcats were defeated 63-61 by No. 13 LaSalle as 6-point favorites.

Overall, the higher-seeded team is 164-60 SU and 123-97-4 ATS in Round 2 of the NCAA tournament since 2007 – covering 56 percent of the time in that stretch.

Note: The No. 3 versus No. 14 games have produced a 9-19 Over/Under record in the past seven NCAA tournament games – playing below the total 68 percent of the time.

Best Over and Under NCAA tournament total bets

For total bettors, March Madness isn’t about upsets or Cinderellas – it’s all about Overs and Unders. Who gives a crap if a No. 2 seed shocked a No. 15? Did they top the total or not?

We look at which 2014 NCAA tournament teams have the best Over and Under records during the Big Dance, going back to 1998.

Best Over

Kentucky: 30-17-1 63.5%
Stanford: 16-8 67%
Ohio State: 22-12 65%
Gonzaga: 22-10 69%
BYU: 9-4 69%

Best Under

Duke: 24-32 57%
Kansas: 23-31 57%
UCLA: 14-20 59%
North Carolina State: 4-10 71%
New Mexico: 3-7 70%
Kansas State: 4-6 60%
UL Lafayette: 0-3 100%

Best and worst NCAA tournament bets

Moving on in March Madness isn’t always enough – especially when pointspreads are involved. Some teams rise to the occasion for NCAAB bettors while others come up short of the oddsmakers’ expectations every year.

We look at which 2014 NCAA tournament teams have the best and worst ATS record during the Big Dance, going back to 1998.

Best ATS

Michigan State: 33-20-1 62%
Florida: 25-15-2 62.5%
Xavier: 18-7-2 72%
VCU: 12-2 86%
Michigan: 9-4 69%
Tulsa: 7-2 78%
Wichita State: 7-2 78%
North Carolina: 28-19-1 59.5%
Arizona: 22-16-1 58%

Worst ATS

Duke: 24-31-1 44%
Ohio State: 15-19 44%
Texas: 14-17-1 45%
Pittsburgh: 10-16 38%
Stanford: 9-15 37.

Beware these three teams ending NCAA tournament droughts

The 68 teams participating in this year's March Madness have enough pressure to deal with. But for a handful of select schools, that tension is magnified by the fact that they just don't get to the tournament all that often.

Whether a team is new to the Big Dance or hasn't been there for a while, it can be hard to shake the "happy-to-be-here" sensation, particularly since most of them face difficult first-round matchups. And judging by this year's crop of newcomers, that trend should continue in 2014.

Here are three teams making a rare March Madness appearance:

Cal Poly Mustangs (13-19, 6-10 Big West)

The Mustangs are making their first-ever appearance in the NCAA tournament, earning a spot in a first-round play-in game against the Texas Southern Tigers in a battle of 16th-seeded teams. Despite stumbling to sixth place in the Big West, Cal Poly stunned the college basketball world by rolling past UC Santa Barbara, shading top-seeded UC Irvine and sneaking past Cal State Northridge to win the conference championship. The Mustangs are installed as 3-point favorites against Texas Southern, with the winner taking on unbeaten Wichita State in Round 2 of the Midwest Regional.

North Carolina Central Eagles (28-5, 15-1 Mid-East Atlantic)

The Eagles are the other tournament team making its debut appearance, drawing a 14-seed in the East Regional and an opening encounter with the Iowa State Cyclones Friday night. North Carolina Central steamrolled to a 15-1 conference record, then blasted Howard 92-46, eased past Norfolk State 68-45 and defeated Morgan State 71-62 for its first-ever MEAC title. The Eagles are listed as 9-point underdogs against the Cyclones - the best odds of any 14th-seeded team in the tournament - and would face either North Carolina or Providence in the next round.

Mercer Bears (26-8, 14-4 Atlantic Sun)

No fact can illustrate Mercer's tournament drought better than this: Its only previous March Madness team was led by future NBA head coach and analyst Sam Mitchell. Mercer, seeded 14th in the Midwest Region, will make its first tournament appearance since 1985 when it squares off against the powerhouse Duke Blue Devils Friday afternoon. The Bears, who fell to the John Salley-led Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets in the first round 29 years ago, qualified for this year's event by defeating Florida Gulf Coast 68-60 in the Atlantic Sun final. Mercer is a 13-point dog against Duke.

Wednesday, March 19

Wednesday's play-in games (Dayton)
Cal Poly was #7 seed in Big West after being picked #2 preseason; they were 2-9 in last 11 games before winning Big West tourney. Mustangs play slower style; this is their first NCAA. Last Big West team to win tourney game was Pacific in ’05- this is league’s first play-in game. Texas Southern is most experienced team in country; C Murray played for West Virginia LY. Coach Davis once led Indiana in national title game, so this is better than normal SWAC team, but they did lose 87-80 at Big West’s Fullerton back in December- they also lost by 9 at Texas Tech, 26 at Stanford, 15 at Miami.

Iowa lost six of last seven games to fall into this game; their coach’s son is having surgery during day Wednesday, not 100% sure McCaffery will be at game. Hawkeyes were 15-3 on Jan 19 but are now 4-8 vs top 50 teams; this is their first NCAA since 2006. Tennessee is in NCAAs for first time since Pearl left; they’ve won five of last six games, losing by 7 in SEC tourney to Florida. Vols are just 2-6 vs teams in top 50, but they beat Virginia by 35 in December. Iowa subs a lot, wants to play fast but they’re inferior defensively to Tennessee. Vols have edge in experience. Winner of this game will be a problem for UMass.

Notes on Other Games- Wednesday
-- Illinois won five of last seven games; they're 11-2 outside conference play. Boston U won at Maryland in Devember, lost by 17 at UConn, 6 at St Joe's- they start three sophs, are playing for the future.
-- Iona won 14 of last 16 games; they lost MAAC title game by 3; they are 3-6 outside MAAC (#15 non-conf schedule). Louisiana Tech won 10 of its last 12 games; they're a very experienced team.

-- UTEP lost C-USA tourney at home; they've won 18 of last 23 games. Fresno won nine of last 12 games, but Guerrero is just 4 of his last 33 behind arc. UTEP beat Colorado State by 8, only game vs MW team.
-- Radford is 21-12 this year after being 24-49 previous three years, so they're excited to be improved, winning seven of last 10 games. Oregon State starts three seniors, but lost seven of last ten games anyway.
-- Yale lost four of last five games after being tied atop Ivy; they don't start any seniors, are building to next year. Quinnipiac went 15-7 in its first MAAC season, but lost three of last four games, losing by 19 in a conference tournament loss. Bobcats are very good rebounding team.

-- Pacific lost five of last six games, went 6-13 in its first year in WCC; Tigers start four seniors, so this was disappointing year. Grand Canyon is coached by Dan Majerle; hey're 0-2 vs WCC teams this year, losing by 3-11 points.

Thursday's NCAA games
Ohio State won its last four first round games, covered last three, winning by 29-29-25 points, but those were as 1-2 seeds; they’ve made Sweet 16 last four years. #6 seeds are 7-1 vs spread in first round last two years, after being 2-10 three years before that (9-11 last five years). Last year was just second time this century no #6 seed got beat in first round. Dayton is in tourney for first time since ’09, second time in decade; Buckeyes won’t play them during regular season. OSU is more experienced, teams play roughly same tempo, Flyers sub more. Buckeyes are 9-4 in last 13 games. Dayton is 3-6 vs top 50 teams.

There are 351 D-I basketball teams; Wisconsin ranks #338 in time per possession, American #339. Teams have roughly same experience level, sub the same amount, both play slow, just Wisconsin does it in a way better league. American was 3-5 in last eight games before going 3-0 in Patriot tournament. Last year was first time in seven years Ryan lost his first round game; last time he was #2 seed, Badgers covered by half-point in first round, laying 12.5 to Corpus Christi in ’07. Patriot League teams lost six of last seven in tournament, but covered four of last six in this round. #2 seeds went 2-2 vs spread in first round in each of the last six years.

Over last 18 years, underdogs are 44-28 (61.1%) vs spread in these 5-12 first round games, with #12's 5-3 SU last two years. Cincinnati tied for AAC title but is just 5-4 in last nine games- three of those losses were Louisville/UConn (2). Ivy League teams split last four first round games after losing nine in row before that; Harvard upset New Mexico LY, but were getting 10.5 points- this spread is little light, no? Crimson lost by 5 at UConn in its only top 50 game. Harvard hasn't played in 12 days, has won eight games in row but against bad teams. Last three years, favorites of 5 or less points are 15-22 vs spread in first round games.

Colorado rode senior G Booker to make it here after star Dinwiddie was lost for year (knee) in January; Buffaloes lost by 12 to Baylor, won by 14 vs Georgia in two biggest non-league games. Third year in row in this event for Colorado, which was 14-2 with Dinwiddie, 9-9 since. Pitt won five of last seven games, losing by 3 to Virginia after beating Tar Heels in first ACC tourney. Patterson is 14-31 from arc in his last four games- Panthers struggle when he doesn't shoot well. Underdogs covered 16 of last 20 #8-9 games over last five years. Pitt had won five first round tilts in row before they lost to Wichita State 73-55 in first round LY.

Not only is Syracuse playing couple hours from home in Buffalo, its an arena, not a dome, so their home court edge is even bigger here. Orange stumbled to 2-5 finish after being 25-0 at one point. #3 seeds are 8-4 vs spread in this round last three years. Western Michigan split pair with Eastern Michigan, which is Syracuse-clone coached by former assistant coach. Broncos won 11 of last 12 games with only loss in OT; they are 1-2 vs top 100 teams, losing by 9-6 points- their best win is over New Mexico State. MAC teams covered four of last five first round games. Boeheim is 7-3 vs spread in first round games last ten years.

BYU lost 100-96 (+9) in OT at Oregon Dec 21; Haws/Collinsworth got 41+ minutes in game, but Collinsworth blew out knee in WCC tourney, is out here, which made some say BYU shouldn't be here. Cougars won 15 of last 19 games after starting season 8-7. Oregon won eight of last nine games, getting beat by UCLA in Pac-12 tourney; Ducks are 3-0 vs WCC teams this year, with other two wins by 23-18 points- they made Sweet 16 LY, making tourney for first time under Altman. Over last five years,.underdogs are 15-5 vs spread in #7-10 games, with 12 SU upsets. Hard to imagine Collinsworth's injury not crippling BYU's chances.

Over last six years, #1 seeds are 14-10 vs spread in this round-- Albany won in Dayton Tuesday night, has to play here 45 hours later, against #1 team in country- good luck. Great Danes are in tourney for 4th time; they covered two of three in this round, losing by 12 (+20.5) to Duke in LY's event. Gators won first round game last three years by 28-26-32 points; they beat Kentucky in SEC final Sunday, so quick turnaround for them, too. chances are they've been prepping for second round game, when they'll be playing Colorado-Pitt winner. Albany is well-coached; they jumped out to 21-2 lead, but had trouble with quickness/shooting of Mt St Mary's, which doesn't bode well for this opponent.

Michigan State is finally healthy, looked sharp in Big Dozen tourney, where they beat Michigan in finals, avenging pair of earlier losses to the Wolverines. Spartans are 12-0 this season vs teams ranked outside top 100, with 10 of 12 wins by 14+ points. Over last eight years, #4 seeds are 20-12 vs spread in this round. Izzo won six of last seven first round games, winning last two years by 22-11 points. Delaware lost by 4 to Villanova, 5 to Notre Dame, 12 to Ohio State; they've won 19 of last 21 games, don't sub much, protect ball very well- they scored 84.5 ppg in their last four games.

NCAA Round 1 betting preview: Texas Southern vs. Cal Poly SLO
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Texas Southern Tigers vs. Cal Poly SLO Mustangs (-4, 130)

Texas Southern will attempt to stretch its winning streak to 10 games when the Tigers face surprising Cal Poly in a Midwest Region first-round game at the NCAA tournament Wednesday at Dayton. Texas Southern won the Southwestern Athletic Conference tournament to gain an NCAA bid for the fifth time and first since 2003; fellow 16th seed Cal Poly makes its first appearance in the Big Dance after winning the Big West. The winner takes on top seed Wichita State on Friday in St. Louis.

The Tigers, who own a victory at Temple earlier this season, have not lost since Feb. 17 and won three games in their conference tournament by an average of 14 points. The Tigers average 76.2 points, led by SWAC player of the year Aaric Murray, while the Mustangs lean on their defense. Cal Poly had lost nine of its previous 11 games before winning three straight to earn its spot from the seventh seed.

TV: 6:40 p.m. ET, truTV

LINE HISTORY: The line opened Cal Poly -3, was bet down to -2.5 before being bet up to -4. The total has held steady at 130.

INJURY WATCH: N/A.

WHY BET CAL POLY (13-19): Chris Eversley, a 6-7 senior forward, was the Big West tournament MVP for the Mustangs after scoring 32 points combined in the last two games and leads the team in scoring (13.6) and rebounding (7.1). Swingman Dave Nwaba has contributed 11.9 points per contest and shoots 52.8 percent from the field while six-foot guard Kyle Odister has made a team-high 60 3-pointers. Cal Poly was last in the league in scoring (63.2), but first in points allowed (63.4) and has allowed an average of 56.2 over its five.

WHY BET TEXAS SOUTHERN (19-14): Murray, a 6-10 center who played two seasons at LaSalle and one at West Virginia before transferring, scored a season-high 48 points at Temple and poured in 27 in the SWAC title game. Murray averages 21.2 points and 7.7 rebounds while Marshall transfer D’Aris Scarver chips in with 13.3 per contest for the Tigers, who led the SWAC in scoring and field goal percentage (46.2). Jose Rodriguez averages 11.3 points and Madarious Gibbs (9.2) reached double figures in five of his last six games.

TRENDS:

* Texas Southern is 4-11 ATS in its last 15 games vs. a team with a losing SU record.
* Cal Poly is 4-1-1 ATS in its last six neutral site games.
* Cal Poly is 4-12 ATS in its last 16 games overall.
* Over is 4-0 in Cal Poly's last four non-conference games.

CONSENSUS: Fifty-seven percent of the wagers are on Cal Pol -4.

NCAA Round 1 betting preview: Tennessee vs. Iowa
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Tennessee Volunteers vs. Iowa Hawkeyes (-2.5, 144)

Two teams that ended the regular season going in different directions meet when Iowa faces Tennessee on Wednesday in Dayton to start play in the NCAA tournament’s Midwest Regional. Tennessee makes its 20th appearance after winning six of its last eight and the Volunteers gave No. 1 Florida trouble in the SEC semifinals while Iowa dropped six of its last seven before getting its first bid since 2006. The winner of the game between two No. 11 seeds plays Massachusetts on Friday in Raleigh, N.C.

Tennessee has leaned on its defense of late, allowing 47.4 points per game in the last five, and will play a Hawkeyes team that has averaged 82 for the season – 10th in the nation. Both teams can go deep on the bench while Iowa’s Roy Devyn Marble and Jordan McRae of Tennessee were both first-team picks in their respective conferences. The key might be on the boards where both teams stand in the top 20 in the nation.

TV: 9:10 p.m. ET, TruTV

LINE HISTORY: The Volunteers opened at -2 and have been bet all the way to 2.5-point dogs. The total opened at 142.5 and has been bet up to 144.

INJURY WATCH: Tennessee: Guard Robert Hubbs - out or season (shoulder)

WHY BET TENNESSEE (21-12, 18-13 ATS): The Volunteers are back in the NCAAs for the first time since 2011 after taking care of business down the stretch and flaunting a 35-point victory over ACC champion Virginia in December. McRae averages 18.6 points and has made 75 from 3-point range while Jarnell Stokes has scored in double figures the last 15 games to boast averages of 14.7 points and a team-best 10.3 rebounds overall. Jeronne Maymon averages 10.1 points for the Volunteers and shoots 52.9 percent from the field.

WHY BET IOWA (20-12, 15-15 ATS): Marble has not slumped along with the Hawkeyes, scoring at least 20 points in six of his last seven games to raise his season average to 17.3, and he has drained 101 from 3-point range in the last two seasons. Aaron White gives Iowa an inside force, averaging 13 points, 6.7 rebounds and leading the Big Ten in field goal percentage (59.2). The Hawkeyes will have to get production from others and can depend on good distribution from point guard Mike Gesell, who led the league in assist-turnover ratio at 124-to-42.

TRENDS:

* Tennessee is 4-1 ATS in its last five games overall.
* Iowa is 0-7 ATS in its last seven games overall.
* Under is 5-0 in Tennessee's last five games overall.
* Over is 9-2 in Iowa's last 11 games overall.

CONSENSUS: The wagers are almost an even split with Iowa -2.5.
