PLEASE wear a mask (over your nose/mouth) when you go out.

Quote of the Day
?I called Tucker Carlson a dick on national television. It?s high time I apologize?to dicks. Never should have lumped you in with that terrible terrible person?
Jon Stewart

Wednesday?s quiz
Where did Andy Dalton play his college football?

Tuesday?s quiz
UConn won the national title in 2014; Kevin Ollie was their coach.

Monday?s quiz
Rick Pitino has coached both the Knicks and the Celtics.

*************************

Wednesday?s Den: Mid-week musings??..

13) Pretty cool moment on the Mariners-Rockies? telecast the other night; the broadcast had announcers from both teams, a great idea because you learn more about both teams.

Anyway, early in the game they have a Colorado coach miked in the dugout for a half-inning, the Rockies? pitching coach at AA Hartford. Why, you ask? Seattle?s pitcher at the time was Marco Gonzales; the Rockies? pitching coach is Frank Gonzales, Marco?s father.

He can?t root for his son, he doesn?t want to root against him; it was good TV, and had to be a really proud moment for the dad.

12) Interweb says that LeBron James will become a part owner of the Boston Red Sox; he became a partner with Fenway Sports Group, a deal that also also increases James? ownership stake in an English soccer team. Apparently it is fun to be really, really rich.

11) There was a surprising moment in the Cardinals-Mets game Sunday which drew national attention; Cardinals? P Jordan Hicks came in relief to pitch, faced Luis Guillorme leading off an inning. The at-bat lasted 22 pitches, longest AB I can ever remember seeing, before Guillorme walked.

Sunday was the first day this spring where you couldn?t pull the plug on an inning, and there is that 3-batter rule now, so when St Louis wanted to change pitchers, apparently the umpires quietly told them that they had to bring the trainer out and pretend Hicks was hurt, if they wanted to remove him, and that?s what happened.

10) Grand Canyon made their first NCAA Tournament this year; I?m especially happy for coach Bryce Drew, who got hosed when Vanderbilt fired him two years ago.

Drew?s first two Vandy teams went 31-36, 16-18 in SEC games, but then he recruited a really good freshman point guard, Darius Garland. Vandy started out Year 3 with a 4-0 mark, but Garland got hurt 2:00 into Game 5, and the Commodores went in the ashcan when he never came back to play that year.

Vandy?s AD seemed anxious to fire Drew and hire Jerry Stackhouse; the Commodores are 20-37 in two years under Stackhouse, 6-28 in SEC games.

Garland has scored 13.5 ppg in his first 88 NBA games (for Cleveland); had he not gotten hurt, Vandy would?ve had a good season, Drew would probably still have his job and Grand Canyon would have a different coach. Maybe Vanderbilt did Drew a favor by firing him.

9) Padres? catcher Austin Nola broke the middle finger on his left hand, which makes his availability for Opening Day a ????

Nola hit .273 for Seattle/San Diego last year.

8) When the season starts, Oakland A?s better hit the ground running; they open with seven games against Houston, three against the Dodgers. Yikes.

7) College basketball stuff:
? Indiana fired Archie Miller. Hoosiers have been over .500 in the Big 14 once in the last eight years.
? Minnesota fired Richard Pitino, who was then hired by New Mexico.
? Penn State hired Micah Shrewsberry, who has been an assistant coach under Brad Stevens and Matt Painter.
? George Mason fired Dave Paulsen.
? For some reason, Utah fired Larry Krystkowiak. Maybe the Utes should?ve stayed in the Mountain West Conference.

6) I?m going to repeat this one last time; Louisville has an assistant coach named Luke Murray, who is Bill Murray?s son. Luke Murray is going to be a head coach soon.

Minnesota GOPHERS have a head coach opening; it would be tremendous if Bill Murray?s son became coach of the GOPHERS (Caddyshack reference).

Minnesota needs Luke Murray to be their next basketball coach. In Caddyshack, Bill Murray played a groundskeeper named Carl Spackler who was at war with the gophers who lived underneath Bushwood Country Club.

The TV commercials would be epic; imagine Carl Spackler rooting FOR the Gophers?

5) Word out of Anaheim is that Matt Vasgersian will be the Angels? new play-by-play guy on TV, with Darin Sutton filling in at times. Angels? analyst is Mark Gubicza, who is great- upbeat, smart so they?re going to be fun to listen to late at night on the baseball package.

4) Chicago Bears signed QB Andy Dalton to a $10M, one-year deal, with another $3M possible in incentives. Dalton started nine games for Dallas LY; Bears now have him, Nick Foles, Mitch Trubisky at QB? sounds like Trubisky will be moving on.

3) New England Patriots signed eight free agents Tuesday, as they prepare to bounce back from missing the playoffs last year- they also re-signed QB Cam Newton last week.

2) QB Ryan Fitzpatrick signed with Washington; they?ll be his 9th NFL team. He is already the only quarterback ever to start a game for eight different teams.

Houston Texans added QB Tyrod Taylor, who has a 24-21-1 record as an NFL starter, but has started only four games the last three years, with Bills/Chargers.

Taylor was the Buffalo QB before Josh Allen, the Chargers QB before Justin Herbert- he lost his starting job when a doctor punctured his lung with a needle while giving Taylor a pain-killing injection just before a game last fall.

1) Colgate is playing Arkansas in the NCAA Tournament; Red Raiders are 14-1 this season, but the schedule they?ve played has been, by modern standards??.unique?
? 13 of the 15 games were against Boston U (5), Army (4) or Holy Cross (4)
? Only other teams they played were Bucknell, Loyola MD, in Patriot League tourney.
? Their first game was January 2nd.
? Colgate has made 40% of their 3-pointers, #3 in country.
? #189 Army is only team they?ve played ranked higher than #210 in country.

***************************

Thursday?s Den: Doing some thinking out loud??

13) NCAA updates:
? Oklahoma?s #2 scorer De?Vion Harmon is out for this week, after testing positive for COVID. Sooners play Missouri in their first round game. Harmon is averaging 12.9 ppg.
? Georgia Tech star Moses Wright, the ACC player of the year, will miss the Yellow Jackets? first-round game against Loyola-Chicago.

12) Watching lot of exhibition baseball this month, was wondering who has hit the most home runs ever in exhibition games? I?m guessing this information isn?t available and I know it isn?t important, but it would be fun to see.

Searched the Interweb but couldn?t find anything; I did see that in 2000, five Boston pitchers combined to throw a perfect game against Toronto in an exhibition game, but that?s just more useless knowledge.

11) This spring, San Diego Padres? pitchers are going to the plate with a bat in their hands, but they?re not hitting; they just take three strikes and go back to the dugout, to avoid injury. This is something Oakland?s pitchers did a few years ago, eliminates the risk of a costly injury.

Spring training games have become like basketball scrimmages, where coaches control some scenarios. Pitchers can re-enter, innings were stopped early for the first 10 days of games. It is all about getting pitchers some work, on the mound, not at the plate.

10) Francisco Lindor says he is opening to signing a contract extension with the Mets, but if it isn?t done before the season starts, then he will not discuss a contract extension during the season. This is probably a negotiating ploy, but Lindor does have leverage to get a deal done.

9) Miami Heat traded Meyers Leonard and a 2nd-round pick to Oklahoma City for Trevor Ariza. Miami will be the 35-year old Ariza?s 10th NBA team.

Weird trade; Ariza hasn?t played yet this season, but Miami announced on Twitter that it is hopeful he?ll be available to play this weekend.

As for Leonard, the Thunder said Leonard ?will not be reporting to Oklahoma City and will not be an active member of the organization.? When you?re marginal player and you yell out anti-Semitic stuff on the Interweb, your career spirals downward. Quickly.

In other words, he?ll have a lot more time to play video games, now that he is retired.

8) Chicago Bears tried really hard to trade for Russell Wilson; they offered Seattle three 1st-round picks, one 3rd-round pick and two starting players, one of whom was Khalil Mack. Seattle apparently turned them down.

ESPN?s Adam Schefter says the trade isn?t dead until the NFL Draft happens, but the Bears trading for Andy Dalton says otherwise.

7) With Drew Brees retiring, New Orleans paid its two QB?s this week; they gave Taysom Hill a four-year, $140M deal where the last three years are voidable, and they paid backup Jameis Winston $12M for 2021. Very unusual quarterback room.

Hill has played in 53 NFL games, is 3-1 as a starting quarterback; he?s thrown 134 career NFL passes, run ball 151 times, caught 30 passes. Am curious to see how this plays out.

6) NFL has a great skill of staying in the news 365 days a year, 366 in leap years. Today is March 18 and NFL is in the news as much as March Madness and more than spring training games. Part of it is because the people who run baseball are arrogant imbeciles who won?t market their sport the right way, but that?s another discussion for another day.

5) Thoughts/prayers to former NBA center Shawn Bradley, who suffered a severe spinal cord injury which left him paralyzed, after a car crashed into his bicycle. Bradley is 7-foot-6; he played 12 years in the NBA, scoring 8.1 ppg.

Since retiring from NBA in 2005, Bradley has been a counselor at a private school in Utah.

4) Couple weeks ago, Rams DT Michael Brockers declared that Matthew Stafford was an upgrade at quarterback for Los Angeles, over the departed Jared Goff. His actual quote:

?Is it a level up? In my heart, deeply, just understanding what he brings, it?s a level up. It?s a level up.?

Since then, the Rams wanted Brockers to re-do his contract, to help get the Rams under the salary cap. The two sides couldn?t come to an agreement, so Brockers is now a Detroit Lion, where one of his new teammates is?..Jared Goff.

Awkward.

3) Iowa State paid former basketball coach Steve Prohm $5.5M to take a hike, after a hideous 2-22 season. Prohm?s Cyclones had made three of previous four NCAA tournaments, but were also a combined 18-54 in conference games the last four years. 18-54 gets you fired.

Less than 24 hours later, word is out that TJ Otzelberger is bolting UNLV to take the Iowa State job; Otzelberger worked as an assistant at Iowa State from 2006-2013, and again three years later. Unnamed sources claim this deal has been done for a month or so.

Here?s the thing; Otzelberger was 28-29 in two years at UNLV and was showing zero signs of any progress. Rebels had very little depth this year; when you play in a league where lot of teams play in higher altitude, you need some depth and UNLV didn?t have much.

Rebel fans can?t be that sad to see Otzelberger go, but the program is now mired in mediocrity? next year they?ll have their fifth head coach in eight years. Richard Pitino just got hired by New Mexico, so UNLV can forget about hiring Rick Pitino as a bombshell replacement, since UNLV and New Mexico are in the same league.

Iowa State will also have to pay $4M or so to UNLV, as part of Otzelberger?s buyout.

2) Richmond 76, Toledo 66? Spiders win their NIT opener, despite being down couple of starters. Richmond had lost their last three games coming in, were down 8 with 15:43 left in this game, but they stormed back for the win and will play in the next round March 25.

1) Western Kentucky 69, Saint Mary?s 67? Big man Bassey had 19 points, 11 rebounds; Hilltoppers blew an 11-point lead, but pulled it out on free throws with 0:03.3 left and move on to the second round.

Saint Mary?s finishes 14-10 after starting out 8-1; first time in 14 years they didn?t win 20 games.

1,522? Dirk Nowitzi

**********

Armadillo: Friday's Den: Welcome to the best weekend of the year

13) UCLA 86, Michigan State 80 OT
? Spartans led by 11 at halftime- they scored 3 points in last 6:20.
? Michigan State lost four of its last six games.
? UCLA breaks a 4-game skid, plays BYU Saturday.

12) Drake 53, Wichita State 52
? Drake scored 25 points in first 28:36, 28 points in last 11:24.
? When they were MVC rivals, Wichita beat Drake the last 14 times they played.
? Bulldogs move on to play USC Saturday.

11) Texas Southern 60, Mount St Mary?s 52
? Mount St Mary?s led by 10 at half, scored only 22 points in 2nd half.
? Texas Southern has won 15 of its last 16 games.
? Tigers move on to play #1-seed Michigan Saturday.

10) Norfolk State 54, Appalachian State 53:
? Norfolk led by 19 in second half, blew the lead, rallied from down 6 with 5:22 left.
? App State missed their first 19 3-pointers, finished 6-36.
? Norfolk State moves on to play #1 Gonzaga Saturday.

9) Jalen Wilson, leading rebounder for Kansas, is out for the Jayhawks? first round game with Eastern Washington.

8) Gonzaga is the 20th team to be unbeaten heading into the NCAA Tournament; of the previous 19, seven of them won the NCAA title, with Indiana in 1976 the last one. Lot more teams in the tournament since the mid-80?s; have to win six games to win a title now.

7) 12 of the last 32 national champs won their conference tournament.

6) In the NFL, Buffalo Bills signed former Chicago QB Mitchell Trubisky to be their backup QB. Wonder how the Bears? GM explains away trading 3rd and 4th-round picks to move up to draft Trubisky, when Patrick Mahomes was sitting there in the same draft. Oy.

5) Las Vegas Raiders want backup QB Marcus Mariota to take a pay cut, from $10.725M to $3M a year. If Mariota declines, Raiders are expected to release him. Dallas needs a backup QB, so Mariota could land there if the Raiders release him.

4) According to the Boston Globe and Andy, who reads this website, New England Patriots were ?uncharacteristically extravagant in NFL free agency Monday, essentially buying a new team? for ?21, awarding contracts to seven free agents with a ?maximum value? close to $200M and nearly $100M in guarantees.

Of the previous five NFL teams who spent that much dinero on free agents, none of them made the playoffs the following season.

3) In baseball, hitters seem happy that in-game video is back in dugouts this season; there are lot of hitters who became dependent on seeing their at-bats when they got back to the dugout, so they could make adjustments for their next turn at the dish.

2) When I was in high school, a long time ago, the mid-70?s, ESPN didn?t exist yet and I didn?t have control of our family?s remote control anyway, so I spent lot of nights in my room, listening to ballgames on the radio. Lot of nights.

My parents had this battery-powered radio that was the size of a shoe box; at night, it could get any station between Albany and Detroit and as far south as Baltimore, St Louis on a good night.

For 2-3 years, I spent a ton of time listening to Cleveland Indians games on WWWE in the summer and Cavaliers? games in the winter. Joe Tait was the play-by-play guy for both teams; he was enthusiastic but fair, smart as hell and he taught me a lot about sports, he helped fuel the passion for sports that I still carry today.

Mr Tait passed away last week at age 83; I was watching the replay of an Indians? spring training game the other night and they paid tribute to him. He was so much fun to listen to, yelling ?Bingo!!!!? when Bobby Smith would nail a jumper; his banter with baseball partner Herb Score taught me a lot about baseball.

RIP sir, you were freakin? great at your job.

1) Somewhere upstairs in this house of mine, there is a cassette tape with the last inning of a 1977 Indians-Angels game, Dennis Eckersley?s no-hitter. I had this genius idea that I could be a broadcaster, so I would tape broadcasters and try to learn how they did it. That plan never got too far off the ground.

This afternoon, I looked up the boxscore of that 1977 game, 44 years ago and it downed on me; of the 10 guys who started for the Indians that night, four of them are still baseball broadcasters:
? Dennis Eckersley (Red Sox)
? Ray Fosse (A?s)
? Duane Kuiper (Giants)
? Rick Manning (Indians)

Enjoy the basketball games this weekend; if you see a pizza delivery guy wandering around lost, send him to my house.

**********

Armadillo: Monday's Den: Wrapping up a sports Sunday

13) Oral Roberts 81, Florida 78:
Long time ago, on Oral Roberts? home court, this was stamped on each baseline:

?Expect a miracle?
Not sure if it?s there anymore; they?re not on TV much.

Well, a 15-seed making the Sweet 16 is pretty darn close to a miracle.

? Florida Gulf Coast (2013) was only previous #15-seed to make Sweet 16.
? ORU shot 59.3% inside arc; their two stars never came out of the game.
? Golden Eagles prepped for this; they played 3rd-hardest non-league schedule in country.

Ironically, when Florida Gulf Coast finally lost in 2013, they lost to Florida in the regional semifinals. Today, the Gators were the victims.

12) Loyola, Chi 71, Illinois 58:
? Loyola?s big man Krutwig had 19 points, 12 boards, 5 assists.
? Loyola was +6 in turnovers (17-11); they got most of the loose balls.
? Not only did the #1-seed lose, they never led in this game.

11) Loyola is a #8-seed in the Sweet 16. Since 1990, here is how 8-9 seeds have done in the Sweet 16:

? 10-8 SU in regional semifinal
? 10-7-1 ATS in those games; 1-2 ATS when favored, 9-5-1 otherwise.
? Loyola plays in O State in the regional semi-final this coming weekend.

10) This is the first NCAA Tournament ever to have at least four teams seeded #13 or lower make it into the second round.

9) Arkansas 68, Texas Tech 66:
? Hogs held Tech to 29.3% inside arc; they denied MacClung the ball a lot- he only took six shots.
? Arkansas basically played six guys; a 7th guy played only 3:00.
? Arkansas plays #15-seed Oral Roberts in their next game.

8) Baylor 76, Wisconsin 63:
? Baylor got seven games in after a 21-day COVID pause, before NCAA tourney.
? Bears turned ball over only four times, scored 1.19 ppp.
? Wisconsin started four seniors; if all those guys came back next year, and they can if they want, Badgers would have older starters than some NBA teams.

7) Houston 63, Rutgers 60:
? Cougars outscored Rutgers 13-2 over the final 4:33.
? Houston had 43-29 rebounding edge, with 16 offensive boards.
? This was first NCAA Tournament for Rutgers since 1991, so an excellent season for them.

6) Syracuse 75, West Virginia 72:
? Syracuse made 14-31 on the arc, shot 61.9% inside arc.
? Orangemen led 30-16 early; West Virginia led 53-52 with 9:15 left.
? Mountaineers ended season losing four of their last six games.

5) Villanova 84, North Texas 61:
? North Texas pulled big upset Friday, didn?t have much left here.
? Wildcats shot 15-30 on the arc, scored 1.42 ppp.
? Villanova had lost in this round four of last six years, so had to be a relief to get to the Sweet 16, especially with their point guard out for the year.

4) Shaka Smart?s NCAA Tournament resume:
at VCU:
2011? Won five tournament games, lost national semi-final (11-seed).
2012? Won one, lost one (12-seed).
2013? Won one, lost one (5-seed).
2014? Lost in 1st round (5-seed)
2015? Lost in 1st round (7-seed)
at Texas:
2016? Lost in 1st round (6-seed)
2018? Lost in 1st round (10-seed)
2020?Lost in 1st round (3-seed)

3) Oregon State 80, Oklahoma State 70:
? Oregon State only got in because they won Pac-12 tourney; they?re red-hot now.
? Lot of whistles: Beavers were 32-35 on foul line, Oklahoma State 26-38.
? Loyola-Oregon State is the rare 8-12 seed game next weekend.

2) Since 1997, Florida State coach Leonard Hamilton is 14-9 SU in NCAA tournament games.; underdog was 18-5 ATS in those games.

He was 3-10 ATS when favored, 8-2 when the underdog.

1) Think the Houston Texans regret not trading Deshaun Watson already? They could?ve gotten a huge haul for him last month, but now Watson seems to be facing an off-field legal battle, which at least will be a big distraction. Do other teams still want to trade for him?

Quote of the Day
?I enjoyed last season, when we had the worst record in the league, more than I enjoyed that last season when we went to the Finals. Last year we had young guys who were trying every day, working hard and we had a great energy, great spirit and great camaraderie.?
Steve Kerr

Tuesday?s quiz
Who was USC?s coach in 2007, last time they made the Sweet 16?
(Hint: He used to coach the Chicago Bulls)

Monday?s quiz
When the Cubs won the World Series in 2016, they beat the Cleveland Indians.

Sunday?s quiz
Georgia coach Tom Crean was Dwyane Wade?s college coach at Marquette.

************************

Tuesday?s Den: Nobody asked me, but??..

13) Oregon 95, Iowa 80:
? Ducks ended first half on an 18-4 run, never looked back.
? Oregon?s shot chart had an awful lot of dunks/layups.
? Luka Garza ended a great college career, scoring 36 points.

12) Michigan 86, LSU 78:
? Wolverines are only Big 14 team left in tournament; 9 teams started.
? Michigan shot 66.7% inside arc, are in Sweet 16 for 3rd time in last four tourneys.
? LSU?s two best players both played 40:00, and it showed near the end.

11) Gonzaga 87, Oklahoma 71
? Gonzaga is 28-0, with one win by less than 10 points.
? Zags shot 57.1% inside arc, scored 1.26 points/possession.
? Oklahoma finished season losing six of its last eight games.

10) USC 85, Kansas 51:
? Trojans made nine of their first 13 3-pointers, are in first Sweet 16 since ?07
? Pac-12 teams are 9-1 SU in this tournament.
? Kansas had won 9 of 10 games coming in; not a strong effort here.

9) Creighton 72, Ohio U 58:
? Ohio U emptied its bag when they upset Virginia Saturday.
? Bishop was 6-7 from floor, had 15 rebounds for Creighton.
? Bluejays held four of last five opponents to 62 or fewer points.

8) Alabama 96, Maryland 77:
? Alabama made 16-33 shots on arc; tough to beat that.
? Bet you its been long time since Maryland gave up 1.43 ppp.
? Terps finished 17-14, losing four of last six games.

7) Florida State 71, Colorado 53:
? Seminoles are shooting 38.2% on arc (#16), are #19 on offensive boards.
? Florida State is deep; they scored 41 points in first 30:00, 30 points in last 10:00.
? 23-9 Colorado started three seniors; really good year for them.

6) UCLA 67, Abilene Christian 47:
? UCLA had last four games in a row before this tournament started.
? You get feeling Abilene Christian beating Texas was their Super Bowl.
? UCLA-Alabama in Sweet 16 is a stark contrast of styles.

Cruddy set of set games Monday; one game decided by less than 14 points.

5) College basketball coaching stuff:
? Marquette fired Steve Wojciechowski, who made two NCAA tourneys (0-2) in 7 years.
? Hofstra coach Joe Mihalich stepped down, took another job in the athletic department.
? UNLV hired Kevin Kruger as its coach; his dad Lon Kruger was UNLV?s coach as recently was 2011, is coaching Oklahoma now.

4) Mountain West used to be a fun league, but it has gone downhill lately; last five tournaments, Mountain West teams are 1-7 in first round games. Going to be a one-bid league soon.

3) This was first time since 2003 that North Carolina went consecutive seasons without winning an NCAA Tournament game. In 2002/2003, Tar Heels went a combined 10-22 in ACC games and then they fired the coach, which is why Roy Williams came back to Chapel Hill.

I understand that there was no NCAA Tournament last year, but UNC went 14-19 and wasn?t getting in the tournament anyway.

2) Last three NCAA tournaments, ACC teams were combined 5-16 ATS in the first round.

1) Memo to myself: The first weekend of the NCAA Tournament is great fun, always. Next year, if I have half a brain, this column will be written in Las Vegas.
