Wednesday?s 6-pack
Odds to win the NBA championship:
4-1? Phoenix Suns
11-2? Golden State, Brooklyn
6-1? Milwaukee
13-2? Philadelphia
10-1? Miami
18-1? Utah, Boston

Quote of the Day
?Success is found in the mud. And the only way to effect positive change is to get your hands dirty.?
Cooper Kupp

Wednesday?s quiz
Where did Trae Young play his college basketball?

Tuesday?s quiz
Matt Ryan played his college football at Boston College.

Monday?s quiz
Last time a Pac-12 team won the NCAA Tournament was 1997, when Arizona won.

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

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

13) You?ll have to excuse me if there are mistakes in this article today; left my house at 3:15am Tuesday, got to my hotel room in Las Vegas 13 hours later. Long day; I don?t enjoy flying much anymore, but Southwest does provide free movies on their Wi-Fi, so that helped some. For some reason, can?t sleep on planes.

First vacation in 29 months; good to get closer to normal.

12) By the way, my hotel room has Pac-12 Network, which is only time I ever see it, since DirecTV does not have it. 13 different home shopping channels, no Pac-12 Network. Terrific.

11) St Bonaventure 52, Virginia 51? Bonnies played four senior starters 40:00 each; one guy got in foul trouble and only played 28:00. What the hell are they going to do for players next year?

Why has no school hired Mark Schmidt as their coach? Six SEC teams changed coaches already this spring, and Schmidt still lives in Olean, where he is 268-172 in 15 years. The last eight years, Bonnies are 95-45 in league games. Pretty damn good.

Go get a map, find Olean, NY; draw a 100-mile circle around Olean, and see how many big cities you find. 74 miles from Buffalo, 116 from Rochester. Not exactly basketball hotbeds. What Schmidt has done with the Bonnies is remarkable.

10) Was surprised to hear that this is the last year the NIT Final Four will be in New York City; there was a time, back before even I was born, where the NIT was bigger than the NCAA?s. In 1950, City College of New York won both tournaments, and the NIT was the bigger deal.

9) Speaking of the coaching carousel:
? South Carolina hired Chattanooga coach Paris LaMont.
? Louisiana Tech coach Eric Konkol bolts to Tulsa.
? SMU coach Tim Jankovich retired; he was 24-9 this year, doubtful he got fired, but they also haven?t made the NCAA?s the last five years. Wealthy boosters tend to be impatient.

8) CBI tournament, where the final is 2:00 Wednesday afternoon:
? NC-Wilmington 80, Northern Colorado 64? Seahawks are 26-9, 18-4 in games decided by 7 or less less points. Before this season, UNCW had four losing years in a row.
? Middle Tennessee 85, Abilene Christian 69? Quick turnaround for the winners; MTSU is playing third day in row Wednesday, day game after a night game.

7) Does playing in the NIT, CBI help a team going forward? Getting on ESPN has to help some, but seems that teams like St Bonaventure, a very experienced team that fell just short in their conference, often do well in NIT/CBI-type events, then they almost have to regress the next season, since they?ll have whole new rosters.

6) We talked some about Dodger announcer Rick Monday last week; he was also a pretty good outfielder. Reader Glenn points out that Monday hit 11 home runs off of Hall of Fame hurler Tom Seaver, more than any other player. Impressive.

5) Major League Baseball announced some rule changes Tuesday:
? Rosters will be 28 guys until May 1st.
? Extra innings will start with a runner on second base.
? If your DH is also the starting pitcher, he can stay as the DH after he is done pitching, which is obviously called the Ohtani Rule.

4) Detroit Pistons lost 119-115 to Portland Monday, ending a 12-0-1 run ATS; they?ve lost six of last seven games SU, but have been keeping games closer lately.

3) 31 baseball players wound up heading to contract arbitration; all of those cases will be heard after the season starts, which shouldn?t cause too much of a problem, should it? (joke). Six of the 31 players play for the Mets.

2) If the NBA playoffs started today (they do not) the play-in games would be:
? East: Atlanta @ Toronto, Charlotte @ Brooklyn
? West: New Orleans @ Minnesota, Lakers @ Clippers

1) Was sitting in the Aria Sportsbook Tuesday night, reading the baseball over/unders, and odds to win it all; good Lord, the A?s are 80-1 to win the World Series. Who in their right mind would wager on the A?s to win the World Series? I have a better chance of dating Sharon Stone than the A?s do of being a contender this season.

Big 14? 9-7/6-9-1

Pac-12? 4-1/1-4

Quote of the Day
?You can use moments during the season to catapult you. You can galvanize together over frustration and disappointment. Teams can also go the other way. I don?t see that with our group. I don?t see that with our locker room. But we have needed a kick in the butt.?
Miami Heat coach Erik Spoelstra

Thursday?s quiz
In the movie The Hangover, which Las Vegas hotel do the four friends stay in?

Wednesday?s quiz
Trae Young played his college basketball at Oklahoma.

Tuesday?s quiz
Matt Ryan played his college football at Boston College.

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

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

13) Next time you?re in Las Vegas, I?m suggesting you have dinner at Maggiano?s, which is in the Fashion Show Mall across the Strip from Wynn and Encore. Excellent Italian place; if you get a seat by the window, you can watch people walk up/down the Strip, which is also fun.

12) Since 2015, #1-seeds in NCAA Tournament are 14-4-1 ATS in Sweet 16 games.

11) Since 2012, double digit favorites are 2-5 ATS in Sweet 16 games

10) Last four years, underdogs are 4-2 ATS when a #2-seed plays a #3-seed in Sweet 16.

9) Since 2000, Duke is 7-8 SU in Sweet 16 games.

8) Teams that win the NCAA Tournament tend to be teams that covered early round games; last time a team won the tournament after going 0-2 ATS in rounds 1-2 was 1997, when Arizona won it all. That is also the last season a Pac-12 team won the championship.

7) Mississippi State hired New Mexico State coach Chris Jans as its new coach; Jans was raking in $640,000 in Las Cruces, now he?ll be making $2.2M, where is he a small fish in a very deep SEC pond, as opposed to being one of the big fish in the shallow WAC pond.

6) Listening to the Braves-Rays game yesterday, Atlanta play-by-play guy Chip Caray has gotten so much better as an announcer; his grandfather Harry Caray was a legend, a total character. Skip Caray had a quirky sense of humor that he used often, but Chip Caray is more basic, and he has become very good behind the mike. Lot of pressure with some famous relatives preceding him.

5) Padres pitching prospect MacKenzie Gore wears number 1; weird seeing a pitcher wearing number one.

4) Kansas City Chiefs traded WR Tyreek Hill to the Dolphins for five draft picks; a first, a second, two fourths and a sixth round pick. Miami then gave Hill $30M a year for four years, as they commit to offense under new coach Mike McDaniel.

Over last three years, WR?s with most TD catches:
69? Davante Adams
60? Mike Evans
56? Tyreek Hill

Hill used to catch passes from Patrick Mahomes; now he?ll catch passes from Tua Tagovailoa, which is a huge downgrade. Miami will be an interesting team next fall.

3) NFL backup QB news:
? Dolphins brought in Teddy Bridgewater to back up Tagovailoa.
? Buffalo brought in Case Keenum to back up Josh Allen,
? Cleveland replaced Keenum with Jacoby Brissett, who figures to get 6+ starts once the NFL gives Watson his inevitable suspension, assuming that they?re going to deal Baker Mayfield..

Saints, Seahawks, Panthers still need a starting QB.

2) I?ve talked before how Major League Baseball has a marketing issue, as in, they suck at marketing their own product, which is a very good one.

I?m on my way out the door of my hotel Wednesday, and while there is a live spring training game on TV, the hotel bar, with three TV?s, has ESPN talk shows on, when you can?t even hear what they?re saying.

Baseball needs to promote itself to restaurant/hotel chains, to show their product to the public.

1) Two weeks to go until baseball season starts; Cubs had 55 players on their roster as of yesterday, which means they need to cut 27 guys pretty soon. Rosters will be 28 until May 1st, then drop to 26 the rest of the way.

Thursday?s quiz
In the movie The Hangover, the four friends stay in Caeser?s Palace.

Wednesday?s quiz
Trae Young played his college basketball at Oklahoma.

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

Friday?s Den: Wrapping up a terrific Thursday

13) Kansas is favored by 7.5 points over Providence Friday night; if the Jayhawks lose, it?ll be the first time EVER (in the 64+-team era) that no #-1 seeds made it to the Elite 8.

Thursday was a rough night for number one seeds.

12) Arkansas 74, Gonzaga 68:
? Razorbacks ended first half on 15-4 run, led 32-29 at halftime.
? Arkansas is 14-2 outside the SEC.
? Gonzaga was 28-4 this season, but 0-2 vs SEC teams (Alabama/Arkansas)

11) Houston 72, Arizona 60:
? Cougars never trailed, were by far the more physical team.
? Arizona shot 33.3% from floor, gave up 1.16 points/possession.
? Houston gave up 68-53-60 points in three NCAA tourney wins.

10) Villanova 63, Michigan 55:
? Villanova has won eight in row, 13 of last 14 games.
? Michigan shot 34.4% from floor, 34.9% inside arc.
? Villanova is in Elite 8 for third time in last six years.

9) Duke 78, Texas Tech 73:
? Free throws: Duke 15-17, Texas Tech 5-9
? Red Raiders led 68-66 with 3:00 left in game.
? Duke is shooting 37% on arc (#29), 56.2% inside arc (#8)

8) NC-Wilmington 96, Middle Tennessee 90, 2OT:
? Seahawks won CBI championship Wednesday afternoon.
? UNCW won four games in four days; title game was day game after a nite game.
? MTSU led by 11 with 12:33 left to play.
? UNCW was 36-43 on foul line, Blue Raiders 34-46.

7) New York City lifted its vaccine mandate this week, meaning Kyrie Irving and any unvaccinated players on the two NYC baseball teams can play in home games.

6) Strange stat of the day: Memphis Grizzlies are 15-2 when star G Ja Morant doesn?t play; that stat will get tested some more, as Morant will miss the next two weeks with a knee problem.

5) Brian Schottenheimer will serve as a consultant to the Dallas Cowboys in 2022, working on both sides of the ball. Dallas coach Mike McCarthy broke into the NFL working for Brian?s dad Marty Schottenheimer with Kansas City back in 1993.

This will be Schottenheimer?s 8th NFL team; he was with Jacksonville LY, was OC in Seattle the three years before that.

4) Los Angeles Angels signed C Max Stassi to a 3-year, $17.5M deal

3) Colorado Rockies traded OF Raimel Tapia and a minor league to Toronto, for OF Randal Grichuk.

2) Was reading about a 12-team fantasy draft, where all the owners were fantasy baseball experts; none of the first 44 guys drafted are on my fantasy team. Cedric Mullins was 45th pick, Kris Bryant 48th. Now, either my team isn?t very good, or those guys aren?t so expert.

1) I?d like to thank the good people at MGM Grand Sportsbook for letting me hang out Thursday night. Was fun watching the ballgames there. This is a really good sportsbook that is well-run, comfortable and around the corner from an excellent pizza place.
