Thursday?s 6-pack:
? VCU 70, Davidson 68? Rams end Davidson?s 15-game winning streak.
? Drake 89, Illinois State 88, OT? Drake won last two games, both in OT
? SMU 74, South Florida 54? Mustangs won four in row, 12 of last 13 games.
? Iowa State 84, Oklahoma State 81? Cyclones were 12-28 on the arc.
? Chattanooga 71, Wofford 60? Mocs improve to 7-1 in the SoCon.
? LSU 70, Texas A&M 64? Banged-up Tigers scored game?s last nine points.

Quote of the Day
?Early on in the (scouting) process, I had a second- or third-round grade on Mahomes. I didn?t think he was ready, and I couldn?t push the flawed mechanics aside??..Ultimately, he earned an 85 grade and closed at No. 44 on my board (QB3, behind Trubisky/Watson)?
ESPN?s Todd McShay, showing how scouting is an inexact science

Thursday?s quiz
Who is the only #16-seed to beat a #1-seed in the NCAA basketball tournament?

Wednesday?s quiz
When Sean Payton won his Super Bowl coaching the Saints, they beat the Colts, 31-17.

Tuesday?s quiz
Patrick Mahomes was the 10th player taken in the 2017 NFL Draft; only one quarterback was taken ahead of him. Chicago took Mitch Trubisky, with the #2 pick.

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

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

13) Louisville gave basketball coach Chris Mack $4.8M to take a hike Wednesday, firing Mack during an 11-9 season- Cardinals lost five of their last six games.

Mack did really well (105-51 in conference games) coaching Xavier (his alma mater) but had off-court issues at Louisville, firing assistant coaches last year. One of the assistants he fired taped their conversation, then tried to extort money from Mack.

12) Colonial Athletic Association is adding three teams for next year, bringing them up to 12 teams. Hampton, Monmouth, Stony Brook are the three new teams.

11) This past weekend was first time since 2010 that both #1-seeds lost their first game in the NFL playoffs.

10) First pick in April?s NFL Draft will get $41.47M in guaranteed money; there is no clear-cut choice for the #1 pick this year, which is held by Jacksonville.

9) Miami 78, Virginia Tech 75? Kid on Miami drained a half-court shot at the buzzer for the walk-off win. Hurricanes are 15-5, 7-2 in ACC games. Tech is 2-7 in the ACC.

8) Providence 65, Xavier 62? Friars have been an underdog six times this season, and won all six games SU. Providence is 17-2 overall, losing to Virginia/Marquette.

7) Marquette 73, Seton Hall 63? Marquette was 10-22 on arc, wins its 7th game in a row.

Unusual nugget; Marquette coach Shaka Smart is from Wisconsin; he was born 11 days after Al McGuire?s Marquette team won the national title in 1977.

6) NC-Wilmington is a surprising 6-0 in CAA games; they were the underdog in five of those games. Last four years, Seahawks were 18-43 in conference games.

5) Minnesota hired a new GM; Kwesi Adofo-Mensah comes to the Vikings from Cleveland, where he was VP of football operations. Because Adofo-Mensah is a minority, Cleveland gets a third-round pick in April?s draft.

4) NHL?s Edmonton Oilers gave up the first goal in each of their last ten games.

3) QB Braxton Burmeister played two years at Oregon, then transferred and played two years at Virginia Tech, now he has bolted again and will finish his college career at San Diego State. Last year?s Aztec QB has already transferred to I-AA Montana.

2) Big day of college basketball Saturday; SEC/Big X challenge will provide some juicy non-conference games. Kentucky-Kansas, Tennessee-Texas, Baylor-Alabama are three of the better games.

1) PGA Tour didn?t want to go up against the football games on TV Sunday; they started their event on Wednesday this week, will finish up Saturday night out in San Diego. Billy Horschel (-9) is the leader after the first day.

Friday?s 6-pack:
? Hofstra 76, Charleston 73? Speedy Claxton has Hofstra 13-7, 5-2 in CAA.
? UNCW 67, Northeastern 62? Surprising Seahawks are 7-0 in CAA.
? Cal-Fullerton 74, Cal-Davis 58? Fullerton/Hawai?i are both 5-0 in Big West.
? Saint Mary?s 72, USF 70? Gsels were down 21 early in second half.
? Santa Clara 77, BYU 76? Broncos outscored USF 7-2 over final 0:45.
? Stanford 64, USC 61? Cardinals swept USC this season.

Quote of the Day
?Where do the Packers go from here? That?s a good question. I think we may have seen the last of Aaron (Rodgers) in Green Bay. I don?t know that for certain, it?s just a gut [feeling]. He may try his hand somewhere else. It?s not uncommon for a guy to switch teams after a long productive career somewhere else.?
Brett Favre

Friday?s quiz
In the baseball movie Summer Catch, what well-known actor plays the manager of the Chatham A?s?

Thursday?s quiz
UMBC is the only #16-seed to beat a #1-seed in the NCAA basketball tournament; they upset Virginia 74-54 in the first round of the 2018 tournament.

Wednesday?s quiz
When Sean Payton won his Super Bowl coaching the Saints, they beat the Colts, 31-17.

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

Friday?s Den: Baseball knowledge on a chilly day

Here is baseball knowledge, with help from the guys at CBS Fantasy Sports

13) Players who hit 31+ homers with 16+ stolen bases last year:
? Javier Baez
? Adolis Garcia
? Shohei Ohtani
? Jose Ramirez
? Fernando Tatis

12) Three players hit 300+ with 20+ stolen bases:
? Nicky Lopez
? Starling Marte
? Trea Turner

11) Of all the players with 300+ plate appearances last year, the guy who hit the most home runs per plate appearance was surprising? Tampa Bay catcher Mike Zunino.

10) Kansas City catcher Salvador Perez led the major leagues LY in home runs and RBI, the last catcher to do that was Johnny Bench, in 1972.

9) Washington?s Juan Soto had a .465 on-base %age last year, .525 in second half of the season. Curious to see how the Nationals rebuild their team around him.

8) Reds? ace Luis Castillo had a 7.22 ERA in April/May LY, but had a 2.73 mark from June 1st on.

7) Pitchers with the most innings per start last year:
Zack Wheeler, Adam Wainwright, Walker Buehler

6) Oakland is expected to deal Frankie Montas sometime this year, as their cheapskate owner slashes the payroll. Last year, Montas had a 4.63 ERA in his first 17 starts, 2.11 in his last 15.

5) They?re moving back the left-field fence at Camden Yards in Baltimore, raising it from 7 to 12-feet high in some places, but that shouldn?t impact Cedric Mullins much. None of Mullins? 30 home runs last year went to the opposite field.

4) Nick Castellanos is still a free agent, one of several outstanding free agents; he should really consider staying in Cincinnati.

Castellanos hit .359 at home, with a 1.109 OPS and 23 homers
On the road, he hit .260, with 11 homers and a .772 OPS.

3) Also in Cincinnati, Joey Votto hit 36 homers last year, despite missing 33 games with a broken thumb. He his 31 of those 36 homers from June 8th on, after his thumb healed. Last year was Votto?s best OPS since 2017.

2) Miami 2B Jazz Chisholm got lot of hype early last year, when he hit .311 in April with a .969 OPS, but after April, he hit only .236 with a .681 OPS. Flashy player, runs really fast, but maybe a little overrated. Marlins traded P Zac Gallen for him; not sure how smart that was.

1) Last July 22, Tampa Bay traded for Nelson Cruz, trying to bolster their lineup to make the playoffs; at the time of the trade, Cruz was hitting .294, with a .904 OPS.

After the trade, Cruz hit .226 with a .725 OPS; he is a free agent, will be 42 in July. Which team is going to take a chance and sign Cruz as a DH?

? Toledo 84, Akron 76? Rockets won their 8th game in a row.
? Boise State 68, Fresno State 63 OT? Boise tied game on a 3 with 0:02 left.

Quote of the Day
?I promise I will do better than Michael Jordan in baseball.?
Tennessee Titans WR AJ Brown, campaigning for a tryout with the San Diego Padres

Saturday?s quiz
Which starting QB in the NFL was a WR his first two years in college?

Friday?s quiz
In the baseball movie Summer Catch, Brian Dennehy plays the manager of the Chatham A?s.

Thursday?s quiz
UMBC is the only #16-seed to beat a #1-seed in the NCAA basketball tournament; they upset Virginia 74-54 in the first round of the 2018 tournament.

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

Saturday?s Den: Clearing out a cluttered mind??..

13) Earlier this week, there were nine openings for NFL head coaches; now there are six:
? Chicago Bears named Colts? DC Matt Eberflus head coach
? Denver Broncos named Packers? OC Nathaniel Hackett head coach
? New Jersey Giants named Bills? OC Brian Daboll head coach

12) Curious to see who the Bears hire as offensive coordinator, seeing how they have young QB Justin Fields to develop.

11) I am told that quarterback is an important position in football; here are some of the terrific young QB?s on AFC teams right now:

Burrow, Mahomes, Allen, Jackson, Herbert, all AFC starting QB?s. AFC is going to be a minefield for defenses the next few years- lot of good QB?s.

NFC has Murray, Prescott, Goff as quality younger QB?s- they have several older guys who are really good- Rodgers, Stafford, Wilson, Ryan.

These coaching hires happening now will decide if some of the lesser/suspect QB?s can be developed into stars- Tagovailoa, Daniel Jones, Fields, Hurts.

10) Pittsburgh Steelers have had only three head coaches since 1969; they?ve been very stable, but next year, Steelers will have:
? a new QB
? a new general manager
? a new defensive coordinator
? a new offensive line coach.

This is, for them, a big re-boot. Will be curious how it goes for them- they desperately need a quality quarterback.

9) First 16 days New York State had a mobile sports betting app, the state did $1.176B in handle, that?s billion, with a B. State cost themselves lot of money by being so slow to get mobile sports betting up, but at least they have it now.

8) Looking at college basketball teams as we roll towards March Madness, what is the most important factor to judge?
? Experience?
? Continuity?
? Offense? Defense?

UNLV 88, Colorado State 74
? Rebels made 12-29 on the arc, led by 18 at halftime.
? Bryce Hamilton exploded for 45 points.
? UNLV scored 1.29 points per possession.

UNLV has been struggling this season at 12-9 overall, 4-4 in league. Five of the Rebels? top seven scorers are transfers, so while they?re experience team #45, they?re continuity team #331- they?re not used to playing together, but they looked great Friday night.

Too bad there is no metric for talent; a team like Marquette (#350 experience, #337 continuity) is on a roll because they identified Darryl Morsell as a talented player who could be a key player, which he wasn?t at Maryland. Morsell is scoring 13.4 ppg for a team where five of their eight rotation guys are freshmen.

7) Arizona Wildcats are doing really well, but they?re experience team #355, continuity team #199- they don?t have any player who has ever played in an NCAA Tournament game. Arizona started four freshmen and a sophomore at UCLA Thursday, lot of foreign kids. Will be fun to see if they can keep winning as post-season play approaches.

6) Illinois-Chicago is bolting the Horizon League for the Missouri Valley, where they?ll replace Loyola, which is moving to the Atlantic 15. Lot of shuffling between conferences in mid-major college basketball.

5) USFL re-boots in mid-April. Eight teams, the whole league will happen in Birmingham. Here are the eight head coaches:
? Michigan Panthers? Jeff Fisher- Panthers will play good defense
? New Jersey Generals? Mike Riley- Generals will have a good offense
? Pittsburgh Maulers? Kirby Wilson- RB coach for 8 different NFL teams
? Birmingham Stallions? Skip Holtz- was a college head coach for 16 years (160-125)
? Houston Gamblers? Kevin Sumlin- was a college head coach for 13 years (108-87)
? Tampa Bay Bandits- Todd Haley- former head coach/OC in the NFL.
? New Orleans Breakers- Larry Fedora- went 79-62 as coach at Southern Miss/UNC
? Philadelphia Stars? Bart Andrus- Was head coach in the CFL and NFL Europe.

If the baseball labor dispute delays the start of the season, the USFL will be very popular.

4) Few years ago in July, I went to a Boys Club in Las Vegas on a Saturday afternoon to see the Junior College showcase, 50 kids trying very hard to impress the college coaches there so they could get a scholarship. Very interesting afternoon.

? The high school showcases are way more glamorous; several games going at once, the big names in college coaches sitting courtside. This event had one court, and the coaches were mostly from the Sun Belt/Southland leagues, which take a lot more JC kids than most.
? Kid blew out his knee, was laying on the floor for several minutes, which put the whole day behind schedule, since there was only one court. Felt terrible for the kid; this was his last shot at a scholarship and he left the gym on a stretcher.
? Games were VERY competitive, so it was more fun to watch.

That day, it was 108 degrees in Las Vegas and the Boys? Club had a tiny parking lot; had to park at a strip mall down the street, and walk a block or so in the scorching heat. Good news; no one made me pay go get in, so saved few bucks there. Wish they had a list of players who played that day; would be good to look back and see how many turned out to be D-I players.

More good news; on the way home, stopped at a bar in the strip mall, had some lunch and won $100 playing video poker. All in all, not a bad day.

6) Weird TV game Thursday night; UAB is playing at Western Kentucky. Blazers are wearing their dark green road uniforms and for some reason, WKU is wearing black uniforms at home, which made the game hard to watch.

Would it kill someone to wear white unis, or could WKU at least have worn red, so you could tell one team from another?

3) Sundance TV channel is having a 48-hour marathon of Gilligan?s Island this weekend; have not seen that show in years. Spent lot of time watching it as a kid; the Professor could make batteries out of pineapples, but could never fix the hole in the boat.

Go figure.

2) I?m looking forward to baseball season, so I can see how my fantasy team will do (pretty sure the A?s are going into a salary dump/downturn, not looking forward to that). We?ve had our fantasy league going since 2005; still haven?t won a championship, though I did win the regular season title once, which means very little.

Anyway, going back to 2009, I?m at my desk at work, around 2pm (I worked 8-4) reading a Peter Gammons baseball column on espn.com. Gammons is touting this outfielder in the Marlins farm system, raving about the guy, but he is in Class A ball. Long way from the majors.

But the more I read about this guy, the more intrigued I am; our league didn?t have a phone app yet, so I go to my boss?s desk, fill out a leave slip, and take the rest of the day off, so I can get to my apartment and pick this guy off the scrap heap.

Turned out pretty well; Giancarlo Stanton has been on my team ever since then (he got to the majors the next year) and except for lot of injuries, he?s been very productive. Thanks to Peter Gammons; I miss reading his stuff on the Interweb.

1) Happy 86th birthday to the great actor Alan Alda, best known as Hawkeye Pierce on M*A*S*H. He was so good as Hawkeye that it probably cost him chances to get lot of other roles, since he was so identified with his M*A*S*H character.

Alda appeared on the Showtime series Ray Donovan the last couple years. Happy birthday, sir!!!
