Friday?s 6-pack:
College basketball teams playing slowest tempo so far:
358) Virginia
357) Air Force
356) Evansville
355) Texas
354) Campbell
353) NC-Greensboro

Quote of the Day
?I think it?s (taunting) being over-officiated. I don?t think any of us who discussed it [on the competition committee] saw it going where it is now.?
Sean Payton

Friday?s quiz
After leaving UNLV, Jerry Tarkanian coached 20 games in the NBA; what team did he coach?

Thursday?s quiz
Falcons? QB Matt Ryan played his college football at Boston College.

Wednesday?s quiz
Roy Williams retired last spring as North Carolina?s basketball coach; he coached Kansas before he went to North Carolina.

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

Friday?s Den: Random stuff with weekend here??.

13) I like to surf the web and find articles that will help me in handicapping and in fantasy baseball; back in 2019, read an article in The Athletic about a Toronto pitcher named Trent Thornton.

Won?t mention the writer?s name, but he was effusive in his praise for Thornton, how the spin rate on his curveball was so good and that he was such a good prospect. I was skeptical, but hey, this guy writes for The Athletic while I?m eating Doritos on my couch, so I picked Thornton up, since my squad needed pitching.

It didn?t go well.

His first two starts were very good (2 runs in 10.2 IP) but then the roof fell in. 13 runs in 12.2 IP in his next three starts; one of the home runs he gave up in SkyDome almost went through the empty seat it hit. If someone had been sitting there, they would?ve broken a bone.

Can?t remember how long it took me to cut Thornton, but I stopped reading that guy?s articles. Just because you get paid to do something doesn?t mean you?re good at it.

12) New England 25, Atlanta 0:
? Patriots had one offensive TD; they had a pick-6 with 1:22 left.
? Patriots won five in row, six of last seven games.
? New England has 18 takeaways in last seven games (+10)
? Since 2016, New England is 22-15 ATS as road favorites.

? Three Falcon QB?s threw an INT in this game.
? Atlanta is 0-4 SU at home, losing by 26-4-6-25 points.
? Falcons gained 165 total yards, had two empty trips to red zone.
? Atlanta has been outscored 165-82 in second half.

11) Mac Jones was the fifth QB taken in last spring?s draft. This is why the NFL Draft is such an interesting process; in a business where the average franchise is worth $3B, some teams are just knuckleheads where the draft is concerned.

10) Good news: ESPN announced that Dick Vitale will be the analyst for Tuesday?s Gonzaga-UCLA game in Las Vegas. The 82-year old Vitale has been getting treatment for lymphoma, but his doctor gave his blessing for the former coach to travel to call games. Glad to hear it.

9) New Mexico State 76, Davidson 64:
? This is Chris Jans? 5th year with the Aggies; they?ve gone 98-25 under his tutelage, beating a good Davidson team here.
? New Mexico State has 13 new players this season, basically a whole new team.

8) Charleston Cougars are going to be an interesting team to follow this winter; they changed coaches last spring, with Earl Grant jumping to Boston College. In seven years under Grant, Charleston went 68-50 in CAA games, 57-25 the last five years.

In those seven years, Charleston NEVER ranked higher than #289 in pace; they played slower tempo, were a good defensive team, and hey, they won a lot of games.

Enter Pat Kelsey, Charleston?s new coach.

In nine years at Winthrop, Kelsey went 110-46 in conference games; in his last six years with the Eagles, Winthrop never ranked lower than #47 in pace. Kelsey likes his team to play fast.

So far this season, Charleston is #1 in country in pace. Not sure how good they?ll be, but they?ll sure as hell be fun to watch.

7) Still believe that one weekend every season, the NBA should honor the old ABA by playing games with red, white and blue basketballs, and having the four ABA survivors play each other that weekend. Nets-Spurs-Pacers-Nuggets. The ABA made basketball more fun; that?s where the 3-point shot came from.

6) Brooklyn Nets just played eight games in 13 nights, going 6-2 in those games.

5) This is how screwed up college sports have become; DePaul-Rutgers in the Big East-Big 14 challenge, a team from Chicago against a team from New Jersey. The thing is, DePaul is the Big East team, and Rutgers is the Big 14 team.

If I was a kid today, I?d flunk geography.

4) Dayton Flyers already have home losses to Mass-Lowell and Lipscomb, scoring 58-59 points in those games. Atlantic 14 is pretty good league. Flyers are 2nd-least experienced team in country, playing a bottom 10 pace. Against Lipscomb, seven of nine Flyers who played were freshmen. Could be a long winter in Dayton.

3) St Bonaventure 67, Boise State 61:
? Bonnies are supposed to be the best team in A-14; they allowed 56 ppg in their first three games.
? Bonnies have six international players on their roster.
? St Bonaventure is #28 in experience; they?ve made only 21.7% of their 3?s so far.

2) Other interesting college basketball scores:
? Xavier 71, Ohio State 65
? Samford 78, Oregon State 77
? Marquette 78, Ole Miss 72
? Saginaw Valley 80, Western Michigan 63? Oy.
? San Diego State 65, Arizona State 63

1) Do cellphones cause people to talk less?

I?m at the mall Monday, getting my booster shot; after the shot, you sit in an area for 15 minutes, then you go home, or wherever. There are seven other people sitting in the area; I look around, and all eight of us are scrolling on our phones. Makes the time go quicker, but in the old days, maybe you?d strike up a conversation with someone. Didn?t happen Monday.

Saturday?s 6-pack:
NBA players who run the most per game:
? Fred VanVleet, 2.90 miles
? Harrison Barnes, 2.85
? Tyrese Maxey, 2.85
? Miles Bridges, 2.81
? Scottie Barnes, 2.78
? Dejounte Murray, 2.76

NBA uses player-tracking technology to figure all this out; Alex Kennedy wrote an interesting article about all this on basketballnews.com

Quote of the Day
?It?s incredible to watch, but you sort of expect it.?
Warriors? coach Steve Kerr, talking about Steph Curry?s excellence

Saturday?s quiz
Tom Crean is the basketball coach at Georgia; he was Dwyane Wade?s coach at Marquette. Which NFL head coach is Crean?s brother-in-law?

Friday?s quiz
After leaving UNLV, Jerry Tarkanian went 9-11 coaching the San Antonio Spurs for part of one season.

Thursday?s quiz
Falcons? QB Matt Ryan played his college football at Boston College.

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

Saturday?s Den: Wrapping up a busy Friday??..

13) Here are some SEC football games for Saturday:
? Charleston Southern @ Georgia
? Prairie View @ Texas A&M
? Tennessee State @ Mississippi State

Are you bleepin? kidding me? The week before Thanksgiving, and they?re playing I-AA teams? You play those teams in August/September; actually, you should never play them. Play cruddy teams from the Sun Belt or the MAC or schedule New Mexico State.

SEC spends 51 weeks a year promoting themselves as the best football conference in the country (?It just means more?) then they do this on November 20. It is ludicrous and absurd.

Georgia is #1 in the country, and they?re playing Charleston Southern? Give me a break??.

12) Sometimes it is better to be lucky than good; actually, it is best to be both lucky and good.

Davidson College is located in a suburb of Charlotte, NC; Bob McKillop is their basketball coach, and he is a very good coach. Back in the late 90?s, coach McKillop?s son played Little League, where one of his teammates was a kid named Steph Curry, whose dad Dell Curry played for the NBA?s Charlotte Hornets.

Jump ahead a few years, and Steph Curry winds up playing ball for McKillop at Davidson- they go 29-7, make the Elite 8, and you know the rest of the story. Davidson was in the Southern Conference back then; now they?re in the Atlantic 14, a much better league.

If McKillop?s son hadn?t played Little League with Steph Curry, chances are Davidson would still be in the SoCon.

11)

10) Marquette 82, West Virginia 71:
Shaka Smart?s team is #350 in experience, #338 in continuity, but they?re already 5-0, with wins over West Virginia, Illinois, Ole Miss. Excellent start.

Of the eight players who played 12:00+ for Marquette in this game, five are freshmen- they were down 14 late in first half, but made 12-26 on the arc and will play St Bonaventure in the tourney final on Sunday.

9) Utah State 85, New Mexico State 58:
? Ryan Odom is Utah State?s new coach; he was the UMBC coach whose team upset Virginia in the only #1-16 upset in NCAA Tournament history.
? Aggies went 42-13 in Mountain West the last three years, then their coach bolted to Utah.
? Utah-Utah State don?t play this year, they haven?t played in four years. Whats up with that?

Utah State-Oklahoma is the final of this tournament in Conway, SC on Sunday.

8) Arizona 82, Wichita State 78 OT:
? Arizona blew 15-point lead in second half.
? Wichita is #309 in experience, but #107 in continuity; they fought back.
? Three Shockers fouled out.

7) Lions? QB Jared Goff (oblique) hasn?t practiced this week, isn?t expected to play against the Browns Sunday. Tim Boyle is Detroit?s backup QB: he?s thrown four NFL passes in 11 games as Aaron Rodgers? backup in Green Bay.

Boyle threw one TD, 13 INT?s in 19 games over three years at UConn, then transferred to I-AA Eastern Kentucky, where he threw 11 TD?s with 13 INT?s in a 4-7 season.

I?d expect Boyle to spend lot of time handing off Sunday.

6) By my count, 15 of 32 NFL teams have started the same QB in every game this season.

5) Celtics 130, Lakers 108:
? Lakers were minus-4 in 32:00 that Lebron James played.
? Lakers were minus-18 in 16:00 that Lebron James didn?t play.

Lakers are 8-9, 1-4 on road. They?ve got some work to do to make the playoffs.

4) Was encouraging to watch Utah State this week; one of their guys went 10-10 on the foul line in a double overtime win Thursday. If you work hard and practice a lot, you can make yourself a good shooter, all of which makes the Ben Simmons experience frustrating to think about.

Guy is supposed to make $31,590,000 this year; he is a career 59.7% shooter on the foul line. Guards shouldn?t shoot 60% on the foul line. High school guards should be better than that.

3) After watching a ton of college basketball for the last 10 days, I was reminded that teams who run the Princeton offense spend seven minutes at every practice working on different kinds of layups. They do lot of cutting off the ball, and often find themselves at odd angles near the hoop, so practicing those shots is smart.

Every team should do that; nothing more depressing than missing layups.

2) NFL stuff:
? Dallas WR Amari Cooper tested positive for COVID, will miss next two games.
? Baker Mayfield is expected to start at QB for Cleveland.
? Cam Newton is expected to start at QB for Carolina.

1) I am told that this is the toughest tongue twister in the English language:

?The sixth sheik?s sixth sheep?s sick?

Say that three times fast.

Quote of the Day
?It?s hard to place Tom Brady at the top of the NFL. Even though he?s won a lot of championships. There are almost 70 players on each team, so is he playing on every side of the football? Is he on kickoff? Is he on the punt returns? Because if he ain?t playing all them roles, then he got to give credit to his team.?
Retired NBA star Scottie Pippen

Sunday?s quiz
Who was the Detroit Lions? QB, last time they won a playoff game?

Saturday?s quiz
Tom Crean is the basketball coach at Georgia; he was Dwyane Wade?s coach at Marquette. He is also John Harbaugh?s brother-in-law.

Friday?s quiz
After leaving UNLV, Jerry Tarkanian went 9-11 coaching the San Antonio Spurs for part of one season.
