Armadillo:Friday's six-pack

-- Dayton 82, Stanford 72-- Jordan Sibert couldn't play for Ohio State?

-- Wisconsin 69, Baylor 52-- At one point this winter, Badgers lost five out of six games. Seems like a long time ago.

-- Florida 79, UCLA 68-- Gators are first team since Kentucky ('96-'99) to reach Elite 8 four years in a row.

-- Arizona 70, San Diego State 64-- Nick Johnson was 0-10 at one point; he scored 15 points down stretch, pulling Wildcats thru tough game.

-- Justin Verlander/Miguel Cabrera will be making a combined $59M a year until 2019. For two guys.

-- Tampa Bay's entire 2013 payroll: $61,928,975. For a playoff team.

*****

Armadillo: Friday's List of 13: Clearing out a cluttered mind......

13) At $31M a year, and figuring 32 starts a year, Clayton Kershaw will earn roughly $968,750 per start over the length of his contract; well, he’s already scratched from start #2 with a back problem. Not a good start to this season, or the lucrative contract.

12) Its amazing how much coverage ESPN gives the NFL; a half hour show every weekday in March? By the way, I’m hoping the 2014 schedule is out by the time I get to Las Vegas in 17 days.

11) Johnny Manziel threw in helmet and pads at his on-campus pro day; why doesn’t everyone do this? There really is a wildly varying difference of opinion on his NFL prospects. I think he's going to be good.

10) Cleveland Browns must have their minds made up on Manziel, seeing as they didn’t bother to show up at his pro day. Rumor has them bringing Manziel to Cleveland for a day next month, but still, you’d think they’d like to gather all the information they can.

9) Tyler Ennis is going pro? Already? Very bad news for Syracuse.

8) Surprised to read about dysfunction in the Golden State Warriors’ camp; ownership hasn’t given Mark Jackson a contract extension, even though he’s helped them improve a lot, because they’re expecting even more than they’re getting. Maybe they should petition for a move to the Eastern Conference and their prospects would improve a lot. Seriously, meddling bosses are a pain in the butt, in any career.

7) Stanford was 500-1 to win the NCAA tournament before it started; wins over New Mexico/Kansas dropped the Cardinal to 70-1. Dayton dropped the Cardinal right out of the tournament. Will the Flyers be able to keep its coach Archie Miller, or will a big money school steal him away?

6) NC-Wilmington hired Louisville assistant Kevin Keatts as its new head coach; Keats was head coach at Hargrave Military Academy, a bigtime prep school, for ten years, but his bio on the Louisville website lists him as a 2011 graduate of Marshall.

Looks like his college playing days ended in 1996, at the latest. Wonder if he quick cleaned up his bio once the Steve Masiello debacle hit the fan?

5) Pacers-Heat game Wednesday night earned ESPN its second biggest NBA ratings night this season.

4) Red flag for the Pacers; Evan Turner was 4-10 from the floor in the Miami game; other three Indiana subs who played were a combined 1-10. They’ll need lot more bench production if they get into a best-of-7 series with Miami, or the Nets for that matter.

3) Zach Bohannon doesn’t play a lot for the Wisconsin Badgers, but he’s been in 13 games this year. Arena security wouldn’t let him into Wisconsin’s closed shoot around until he took the label off his bottled water, since he didn’t have NCAA-approved water, which is very hard to believe, but apparently it happened.

I mean it’s a closed shoot around; who was going to see his water bottle?

2) Anyone know which network televises The Masters?

1) Miguel Cabrera signed a 10-year, $298M contract with the Tigers, whose owner (Mike Ilitch) is 84 years old. Am guessing Ilitch wants to see the Tigers win a World Series before its too late for him. If this becomes a bad contract eight years from now, chances are it won't be Ilitch's problem.

Friday, March 28

Friday's NCAA games
Over last 12 years, there have been four regional semifinal games with a 2-11 matchup; 2-seed won all four games, covering three. Tennessee won eight of last nine games, with only loss by 7 to Florida in SEC tourney; its 87-52 win over Virginia Dec 30 looks even better now. Michigan won nine of its last ten games; they're #6 in country, making 39.8% of its 3's, but this game is in a dome, which sometimes hurts shooters. Both sides here are in bottom 30 in country in tempo. Vols have experience edge.

Madison Square Garden will be home court for UConn, which played in Big East tourney there every year until this year. Napier injured his shin against Villanova, returned to court late in game, unsure if leg will be an issue here. Iowa State is without Niang, its best player; they made 12-26 from arc in win over UNC Sunday. Cyclones beat UConn 77-64 in 2012 NCAA tourney game. Over last 13 years, there were five 3-7 seed games in this round; underdog covered three of those five games.

Kentucky (+1.5) beat Louisville 73-66 at home Dec 28, in brickfest that saw teams go 9-40 from arc, 30-52 on foul line. This is the #1 rivalry in college hoop; teams aren't in same league but in same state. Cards won by 3 in LY's game, after losing twice to Kentucky year before, including 69-61 loss in national semis, Pitino's only loss in last 13 tourney games. Louisville won seven games in a row overall, 14 of last 15. Wildcats beat Wichita Sunday, their best effort of season; they've won four of last five, have also won eight straight NCAA tourney games and 15 of last 17.

Izzo coached against Tony Bennett's dad when he was at Wisconsin; he beat Badgers 53-41 in national semis in 2000, when Spartans won title. State won last five games, beating 13/12 seeds last week to get here; they split pair with ACC teams, losing at UNC, beating Va Tech. Virginia lost by 10 to Wisconsin in its only Big Dozen game; they play 6th-slowest pace in country. Izzo is 7-4 in this round, but got eliminated in regional semis last two years, by Louisville/Duke. Over last three years, #1 seeds are 2-8 vs spread in this round, 5-5 SU. Last 14 times a #4 seed played a #1 seed in this round, #4 seeds went 10-4 against the spread.

Friday's Sweet 16 betting cheat sheet
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Tennessee Volunteers vs. Michigan Wolverines (-2.5, 134)

Tennessee needed to sneak past the Big Ten’s Iowa in overtime in the first round just to make the field of 64 but wasted little time proving it belonged. Jarnell Stokes is averaging 20.3 points and 15 rebounds in the Volunteers’ three NCAA tournament games and will need all the points he can find to keep up with Wolverines stars Nik Stauskas and Glenn Robinson III. Stokes has recorded 21 double-doubles on the season and is shooting 56.2 percent from the field in the NCAA tournament.

Michigan’s bid for a second straight trip to the Final Four is entering the second weekend of the NCAA tournament as the second-seeded Wolverines cruised through to the Sweet 16. Wolverines forward Jordan Morgan grabbed 10 rebounds in each of the first two tournament games and will be tasked with keeping Stokes off the boards on Thursday. Morgan being active on the inside opens up space on the perimeter for Stauskas, who buried four 3-pointers against Texas as Michigan went 14-of-28 from beyond the arc.

TRENDS:

* Volunteers are 7-1 ATS in their last eight games overall.
* Wolverines are 13-6-1 ATS in their last 20 neutral site games.
* Over is 5-2 in Volunteers lastseven7 NCAA Tournament games.

Connecticut Huskies vs. Iowa State Cyclones (-2, 146)

The seventh-seed Huskies have made the most of their return to the postseason following a one-year ban for academic sanctions, upending second-seed Villanova 77-65 in the third round as Shabazz Napier scored 21 of his 25 points in the second half. apier averages 17.8 points per game and shot 9-for-13 from the field in the second round, showing he can carry the Huskies almost single-handedly. But the Huskies also rely on a strong defense that holds opponents to 38.9 percent shooting from the field (11th nationally) and averages six blocked shots per contest (12th in the country).

Iowa State is in the Sweet 16 for the first time in 14 years, but will have to overcome the loss of one of its top players to reach the Elite Eight. The third-seed Cyclones face Connecticut in the East regional semifinals Friday in New York City without forward Georges Niang, who averaged 20.4 points in his previous five games before breaking his right foot in Iowa State’s second-round victory over North Carolina Central. Niang is lost for the rest of the season but DeAndre Kane helped ease the blow in the Cyclones’ 85-83 victory over North Carolina in the third round, scoring 24 points with 10 rebounds and seven assists.

TRENDS:

* Cyclones are 6-0 ATS in their last six games overall.
* Over is 6-1 in Cyclones last seven NCAA Tournament games.
* Huskies are 4-1 ATS in their last 5 neutral site games.

Kentucky Wildcats vs. Louisville Cardinals (-4.5, 138.5)

Eighth-seeded Kentucky is coming off a three-point win over top-seeded and undefeated Wichita State - a game in which four of the Wildcats' starting freshmen had strong games, led by Andrew Harrison's 20 points. Prior to their 4-1 stretch over the last two weeks, the Wildcats had lost three of four - including embarrassing defeats to Arkansas and South Carolina - as questions began to mount about the talent and character of their heralded freshman class.

The Cardinals' win over the Saint Louis Billikens was far from a work of art, as the team overcame 16-of-24 shooting from the foul line and 19 turnovers, including seven by Smith. "Everything's not going to be sweet or pretty," the senior guard said. "We're just getting the job done." Montrezl Harrell has produced most of the season, and the sophomore forward enters this contest with three straight double-doubles, including a dominant 22-point, 11-rebound effort against Connecticut in the American Athletic Association tournament title game.

TRENDS:

* Wildcats are 6-1 ATS in their last seven NCAA Tournament games.
* Cardinals are 10-3 ATS in their last 13 NCAA Tournament games.
* Under is 13-3 in the last 16 meetings.

Michigan State Spartans vs. Virginia Cavaliers (+1.5, 127)

Despite drawing a No. 4 seed in the East region, Michigan State was considered by many the NCAA tournament favorite while top-seeded Virginia had the misfortune of winding up in the same part of the bracket. One game after Adreian Payne torched Delaware for a career-high 41 points in the second round, fellow forward Branden Dawson posted a personal-best 26 points in Michigan State’s victory over Harvard. “(Payne’s) ability to shoot (the 3-pointer) and what he's added to his game is impressive. He's quite a threat,” Cavaliers coach Tony Bennett told the school’s official website.

The Cavaliers claimed both the ACC regular-season and tournament titles for the first time in school history and rebounded from a shaky second-round victory over No. 16 seed Coastal Carolina with a dominant win over eighth-seeded Memphis. The Cavaliers’ “pack-line” defense held Memphis 17 points below its season average in last Sunday’s 78-60 win, maintaining their status as the best scoring defense in Division I (55.5 points). “They're probably the best defensive team I've ever played against in college. They help each other out every possession; you will never get an easy layup on them,” Memphis senior guard Joe Jackson told reporters afterward.

TRENDS:

* Spartans are 4-1 ATS in their last five games following a ATS loss.
* Cavaliers are 16-5-2 ATS in their last 23 games overall.
* Over is 7-2 in Cavaliers last nine neutral site games.

NCAA East Regional betting news and notes: Izzo knows Bennett well
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

No. 1 Virginia Cavaliers vs. No. 4 Michigan State Spartans (-1.5, 127)

The Virginia Cavaliers’ pack-line defense, designed to protect driving lanes and keep opponents out of the key, gave Memphis fits Sunday. The Tigers shot just 40 percent from the field and scored 18 points below their season average. The defense’s one weakness though is on the perimeter and contesting longer-range shots. The Spartans just so happen to be the country’s 14th best 3-point shooting team, knocking them down at a 39.3 percent clip.

Despite not facing the Cavaliers this year, the East Region’s No. 1 seed doesn’t hold much mystery for Tom Izzo. The Michigan State boss coached at camps run by Cavs’ head coach Tony Bennett’s father, Dick, who was a coach at Wisconsin, against Izzo in the early 2000s. Further to this, Tony was an assistant to his father on those Badger teams.

“This is as home as it gets for me, as far as knowing who I’m playing,” Izzo said, “knowing the style they play.”

No. 3 Iowa State Cyclones vs. No. 7 Connecticut Huskies (+1.5, 147)

The Cyclones connected on 12 of 26 3-point attempts versus North Carolina, numbers that are above their season averages of 8.4 made and 23.5 attempts. Connecticut doesn’t do a great job running teams off the 3-point line, allowing opponents over 18 attempts per game - a number that was bested by Villanova, who hoisted 31 from behind the arc in the round-of-32.

Connecticut forced Villanova into committing 16 turnovers Sunday - almost five above its season average - turning them into 20 points. Iowa State is one of the nation’s best teams at protecting the ball, turning it over 10.6 times per game. However, the Cyclones did commit 14 turnovers versus UNC.

NCAA Midwest Regional betting news and notes:Michigan has secret weapon
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

No. 2 Michigan Wolverines vs. No. 11 Tennessee Volunteers (-2.5, 134)

Senior Jordan Morgan came up big, playing 35 minutes and earning a double-double (15 points, 10 rebounds) in the win over a very good rebounding Texas team. The 6-foot-8 forward averages just six points and five boards per game on the year, but has been solid in the NCAA with 25 points and 20 rebounds in the past two games. Morgan has a tough matchup in Jarnell Stokes, who had 18 rebounds in Tennessee's win over Mercer. But the Wolverines should feel confident that they have the secret to beating a tough interior team after handling the Longhorns.

Tennessee looks to continue its reputation as an under-seeded team. The Volunteers were ranked 11th in Ken Pomeroy's ratings system before being handed a No. 11 play-in seed. That hasn't deterred them from making a tournament run to the point where Pomeroy's rankings have the Vols as the sixth-ranked team in the country after the opening weekend, with Michigan sitting tenth. According to Pomeroy and his ratings system, this game may just be in the Vols’ favor.

No. 4 Louisville Cardinals vs. No. 8 Kentucky Wildcats (-4, 138.5)

The Cardinals are a poor 15-31 SU against their in-state rivals and 5-9 in the Rick Pitino Era in Louisville. Luckily for the Cardinals they are red hot, winning 14 of their last 15 games (10-5 ATS) down the stretch and hold the edge in experience over a young UK squad with seniors Russ Smith and Luke Hancock anchoring the team. However, Louisville wasn't tested often this year, boasting the second weakest strength of schedule among the Sweet 16 teams (75th in the country).

Kentucky's key to victory will be the rebounding battle. The Wildcats rode a plus-7 rebounding margin in their victory against the Cardinals during the regular season. If the babyface Wildcats want to sweep the season series, that type of effort will be needed on the glass once again.

NBA roundup: Injury ends season for Bucks' Ilyasova
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Milwaukee forward Ersan Ilyasova will miss the remainder of the season with a right ankle injury, just the latest in a long season of losses for the Bucks.

The Bucks, who entered play Thursday with an NBA-low 13 victories, said Ilyasova was examined by Dr. Richard Ferkel, a foot and ankle specialist who recommended the 26-year-old opt for rest and begin a rehabilitation program to strengthen his ankle rather than undergo surgery.

The injury first limited Ilyasova during preseason games and he sat out Monday's loss to the Los Angeles Clippers. He averaged 11.2 points, 6.2 rebounds and 1.3 assists in 55 games.

---Los Angeles Lakers center Pau Gasol is not on the team's two-game road trip because of symptoms related to his bout of vertigo over the weekend.

Gasol visited ear, nose and throat specialist Dr. John Rehm and it was determined to keep Gasol back in Los Angeles for rest and recovery. Gasol is officially being listed as day to day, although he has not been cleared for basketball activities after leaving Sunday's 103-94 win over the Orlando Magic because of dizziness and nausea and spending the night in the hospital after receiving three liters of fluids through an IV, according to ESPN.com.

---The Philadelphia 76ers signed forward James Nunnally to a second 10-day contract Thursday.

Originally signed March 17 as a call up from the NBA Development League, the 6-foot-7 Nunnally has averaged 2.2 points and 1.0 rebounds in five games for Philadelphia. He had eight points, two steals and a blocked shot against the Chicago Bulls on March 19.

He was selected as a D-League All-Star, averaging 18.1 points, 4.5 rebounds and 3.5 assists in 35 games for the Bakersfield Jam and the Texas Legends.
