Wednesday’s 6-pack:
Over/under win totals for this year:
105.5— Dodgers
93.5— Braves
90.5— Mets, Phillies
88.5— Bronx
86.5— Arizona, Orioles, Red Sox, White Sox, Astros, Texas
85.5— Padres, Mariners

Quote of the Day
“It’s not going to be a live game, but nobody really has live scrimmages anymore. So, you make it a full thud like we’re doing and practice against them, just like they do in the NFL.”
Oklahoma State football coach Mike Gundy, suggesting an OSU-Oklahoma spring scrimmage, to raise $$$ for NIL payments to players

Wednesday’s quiz
Kareem Abdul-Jabbar played the last 14 years of his great career for the Lakers; who did he play for, in the first six years of his career?

Tuesday’s quiz
From 1954-1996, the Dodgers had only two managers, Walter Alston and Tommy Lasorda; former Dodgers SS Bill Russell replaced Lasorda as the Dodgers’ manager, in 1997.

Monday’s quiz
In the history of the New York Mets, David Wright has scored the most runs.

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

Wednesday’s Den: Mid-week musings…….​

— New Jersey Giants signed QB Russell Wilson for one year, $21M, with $10.5M of that $$$ guaranteed; Wilson will be playing for his fourth team in five years. He is 130-85-1 as an NFL starter, 9-8 in playoff games, but he is also 23-32 the last four years.
Giants signed QB Jameis Winston last week, would appear that they’re out of the market for a QB in next month’s draft.

— New England Patriots signed WR Stefon Diggs for three years, $69M; Diggs caught 47 passes for 496 yards in only eight games for Houston last year, after six straight seasons with 1,000+ receiving yards. New England will be his third team in three years.

— Last three years in the NCAA Tournament, #1 seeds are 4-5 SU/2-7 ATS in their Sweet 16 games. From 2016-21, #1-seeds were 11-1 SU/7-5 ATS in Sweet 16 games, so 9-12 ATS over an 8-year span isn’t very good.

— Arkansas is the only team seeded 9th or worse still alive in March Madness; since 2017, #9 or lower seeds are 9-3 ATS when they play in a Sweet 16 game.

— St Francis PA lost 70-68 in a play-in game to Alabama State, after winning the NEC tourney, but this week they announced they’re dropping down to D-III sports, much like Hartford did a couple years ago. Some schools have no desire/ability to compete with bigger-money schools for good players.

— Drake star Bennett Stirtz is following his coach Ben McCollum to Iowa; Drake was 31-4 this year, won a first-round NCAA Tourney game. McCollum won four DII national titles in his days at Northwest Missouri. The question: how good is Iowa’s NIL program?

— UNLV signed former Memphis/Georgia Tech coach Josh Pastner as their new coach; Pastner followed John Calipari at Memphis, went 130-44 the first five years, but only 2-4 in the NCAA tourney. When Memphis faded the next two years, they fired him and he went to Georgia Tech, a much harder job.

Pastner was 109-114 at Tech, making NCAA’s once in seven years. He spent the last two years as a studio analyst on ESPN. Pastner will he UNLV’s 7th coach in 16 years.

— Xavier is hiring Richard Pitino as its new coach; Pitino was 75-30/35-21 the last three years at New Mexico, winning a game in this year’s tournament.

— Sacramento State named former NBA star Mike Bibby its new head coach; Bibby was on the Sacramento Kings for 6+ seasons. He scored 14.7 ppg in his NBA career.
Sac State will be on its fifth coach in six years; their last winning season in Big Sky games was in 2015. Hornets have never played in the NCAA Tournament.

— Famous birthdays, March 26th:
Martin Short, 75
Catherine Keener, 66
Marcus Allen, 65
Mike Warren, 64
John Stockton, 63
Kevin Seitzer, 63
Keira Knightley, 40
Cristian Javier, 28

— Seattle Mariners signed C Cal Raleigh to a six-year deal worth $105M; Raleigh has hit 91 home runs the last three years.

— Arizona P Jordan Montgomery is going to have Tommy John surgery, is out for at least a year; he had a 6.23 ERA in 21 starts last season. He won’t be back until late in the 2026 season.

— NIT
Chattanooga 67, Bradley 65
Bradley led 38-25 at halftime.
Honor Huff played all 40:00, shot 5-13 on arc, scored 21 points.
Bradley lost, despite shooting 66.7% inside the arc.

North Texas 61, Oklahoma State 59
Mean Green led 27-22 at halftime.
Cowboys shot 4-15 on the arc, only 9-16 on the foul line.

— CBI
Illinois State 78, Incarnate Word 73
Redbirds outscored the Cardinals 17-9 over the final 5:00.
Chase Walker scored 27 points, had 8 rebounds for Illinois State.
Three players on Incarnate Word played all 40:00.

Cleveland State 72, Florida Gulf Coast 65
Vikings led 36-29 at halftime.
Cleveland State was 20-23 on foul line, FGCU 8-14.
Cleveland State was +5 in turnovers (13-8)

— Kentucky Wildcats are the only team in the last 20 years to make the Sweet 16, when they had zero returning points from the year before- kudos to them for that. Mark Pope rebuilt his roster and the Wildcats are

— I’m wondering what its like to be traded; you make a lot of money playing ball, but you get the call that you have to pack up and move somewhere else. Has to be weird, especially for guys who have a family.

— My brain is tired; have watched a ton of college basketball, spring training games and also a lot of fantasy baseball podcasts. Looking forward to watching a lot of baseball that counts on Thursday, as well as the four Sweet 16 games.

Quote of the Day
“My biggest concerns in life right now, I don’t know who my boss is going to be. The guy that brought me here — who I really like, but appreciative of him bringing me to College Park — is not here anymore and I don’t know who we’re going to hire and in today’s day and age that worries me a little bit.”
Maryland basketball coach Kevin Willard
