Monday's List of 13: Wrapping up a busy Saturday.....
13) No bubble team that loses their first conference tourney game has a right to complain, if they get left out of Field of 65. If you want to make the field, win more games.......

12) Quietly, Indiana Hoosiers won their last four games, and are back on the bubble; their game vs Wisconsin Thursday is obviously, very important, maybe even a play-in game.

11) Very strange how Kentucky played so much better away from home this season.

10) Louisiana Tech won 51-48 at Hawai'i Saturday, despite an 0-18 shooting night behind the arc. Tech's Paul Millsaps had a monster night, 20 points, 23 rebounds. Hawai'i, by the way, was 2-17 on 3-pointers.

9) Only twice in eight years has the #1 seed won tournament in the Big 11, ominous news for the Ohio State Buckeyes.

8) Erik Estrada has to be stopped; he is hawking real estate all over America, from Florida to Seattle, on cable outlets, saying what a great opportunity each location is. Please go away.

7) The baseball team from China is managed by Jim Lefebvre, former major league skipper; not sure why he got this gig; he is obviously not Chinese. Wonder what the Chinese honchos thought about their team being mercy-ruled last week.

6) Good job by ESPN Classic, showing Bad News Bears this week, and Caddyshack next. Now those are classics.

5) Entering Sunday, Eldrick Woods had a stroke average of 69.06 on Sundays; his playing partner was averaging 71.85.

4) The father of Marist player Miles Orman was a regular on the popular TV show Sesame Street.

3) Wouldn't it be wise for the NFL Players' Union to cave in and take 56.2%, or whatever it is the owners are offering? It is inconceivable that the players will be better off if there is no agreement, so why not just take the best offer?

2) When your guy at foul line is a lousy free throw shooter, why don't his two teammates who are rebounding get active in their rebounding? The ball is liable to go anywhere, if he's poor shooter; you could pick up an extra possession or two.

1) Main story Monday night will focus here in Albany, where Saint Peter's College, behind 3,000-pt scorer Keydren Clark, will try to make Cinderella run to MAAC title as the #5 seed. Clark lost his best friend last summer, so the Peacocks have some special inspiration on their side.
