Tuesday's List of 13, on variety of college hoop things.......
13) Siena played at Hofstra Saturday; Hofstra won, but in the process, Siena coach McCaffery got tossed early in second half, when he got his second technical foul. No biggie; life on the road is difficult. But near the end of the game, things got embarrassing for the Saints.

12) With about 90 seconds left, a Siena player was injured as he ran into a hard screen; at this point, Mrs McCaffery, who I believe was once an assistant woman's coach at Notre Dame, left her seat behind the bench and berated the officials, to the tune of:

"You (stink). You see, that's what happens when you don't do your (expletive) job."
(Quote courtesy of the Albany Times Union).

I don't know what to say about this, other than, in my humble opinion, Mrs McCaffery was way out of line. Just my opinion

11) Was Syracuse-West Virginia fastest Big Monday game ever? Game started at 7, was over at 8:45. West Virginia took zero FTs in 60-58 loss; Syracuse was just 4-7.

10) UConn is 13-0 in NCAA first round games since '90, but is 1-7 vs spread in their last eight first round contests.

9) Just like Kentucky, which has won fifteen first round tilts in row, but covered just three of their last nine. UK's streak is in danger this year, if they make the NCAA's.

8) On the other side of the coin, Colonial League teams lost six of last seven first round games, but covered the last five.

7) After seeing the commercials for Bob Knight's reality show 4,000 times, I forgot to watch it. Sometimes, I am shtoooopid.

6) Knight's last technical foul was January 11,2003, 116 games ago. I thought he might be mellowing, but then he just threw a clipboard as I was typing this.

5) I've said this before but: the basketball teams that are most fun to watch have many guys who can score, not just one or two. Those teams are also the hardest to defend.

4) Going into Monday night's game in Lubbock, Michael Neal of Oklahoma had made 42 of his last 75 3-pointers. Wow.

3) There are no recorded broadcasts of Super Bowl I, which was on both NBA and CBS. Too bad.

2) When I think of Curt Gowdy, the thing that stands out was that, for years, he was everywhere: AFL games (all the great Chief-Raider games), baseball, college hoop, he was the voice of sports in my childhood. He was also a great outdoorsman.

1) Gowdy was also an outstanding college basketball player for the Wyoming Cowboys. What an interesting life he led. Our thoughts and prayers are with his family.
