? Memphis 83, Tulsa 81? Tulsa led by 15 early in second half.

Quote of the Day
?I?m tired of the underdog narrative. We?re a really, really good team. We?re here to make noise and teams are going to have to pay attention to us.?
Joe Burrow

Monday?s quiz
Butler made the Final Four in consecutive years under Brad Stevens (2010-11); what league were they in back then?

Sunday?s quiz
Jimmy Garoppolo played his college football at Eastern Illinois, just like Sean Payton and Tony Romo did.

Saturday?s quiz
Steve McNair was the QB for the Tennessee Titans, in their one Super Bowl appearance.

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

Monday?s Den: Wrapping up a sports weekend??..

13) Rams 30, Buccaneers 27:
? Gay kicked 30-yard FG at 0:00 for the win.
? Rams led 27-3 with 4:00 left in third quarter.
? Rams turned ball over four times on their last ten drives.
? Cooper Kupp caught nine passes for 183 yards and a TD.

12) Chiefs 42, Bills 36, OT:
? There were 31 points scored in last 6:10 of this game.
? Buffalo WR Davis caught 8 passes for 201 yards, four TD?s.
? Chiefs? WR Hill caught 11 passes for 150 yards and a TD.
? Kansas City was only home team to win this weekend.

11) Bengals 19, Titans 16:
? McPherson nailed 52-yard FG at 0:00 for the win.
? Bengals get first-ever (1-7) road playoff win.
? Tennessee sacked Joe Burrow nine times.
? Bengals were 7-15 on third down, Tennessee 1-8

10) 49ers 13, Packers 10:
? Gould nailed 45-yard FG at 0:00 for the win.
? 49ers first four drives: 12 plays, minus-16 yards
? 49ers? last five drives: 42 plays, 192 yards, 13 points.
? Rodgers is 0-4 against 49ers in the playoffs.

9) Utah Jazz are only 5-5 SU in their last ten home games, 0-10 ATS.

8) Texas hired former TCU head coach Gary Patterson as an assistant. This is a great hire. Patterson was TCU?s head coach for 22 years, going 113-59 in conference games. Horned Frogs played in four different conferences in Patterson?s tenure as head coach.

7) Last week, Nevada player Daniel Foster had a game where he scored 8 points, grabbed 7 rebounds, had 5 assists in 29:00. Pretty good game, but he was 0-0 from the floor; he played 29:00 with no shots?

Chances are he was fouled in act of shooting couple times, but still, an odd stat line.

6) Speaking of Nevada, heard on TV the other night that this is Steve Alford?s 31st year as a head coach. Felt pretty old when I heard that; doesn?t seem like that long ago he was a great college player at Indiana.

5) Last July 29, Texas Rangers traded Joey Gallo to New York:
? For Texas, Gallo hit .223 with an .869 OPS in 95 games.
? 58 games in New York, in better hitters? park, Gallo hit .160 with a .707 OPS.

4) Speaking of New York, here are Giancarlo Stanton?s splits, by position:
DH? .267 BA with an .843 OPS in 108 games.
LF? .343 BA with a 1.065 OPS, in 10 games.
RF? .279 BA with a .968 OPS, in 16 games.

Maybe he should play in the field more.

3) Boston Celtics are 9-17 this season in games that were within 5 points in the last 5:00.

2) Chicago Bulls? G Alex Caruso is out 6-8 weeks with a broken wrist after a flagrant foul by Milwaukee?s Grayson Allen. Allen was a dirty player at Duke and he still is.

1) Was watching the replay of a 1993 Nets-Magic game the other night; Shaquille O?Neal had 28 points, 26 rebounds, 15 blocks.
? Bill Raftery was the TV analyst; forgot that he did Nets? games on SportsChannel.
? Penny Hardaway was on the Magic; this was just after he was in the movie Blue Chips with Shaq.
? Some great names from the past: Scott Skiles, Benoit Benjamin, Derrick Coleman.
? How basketball has changed: Magic was 2-8 on the arc, Nets were 1-6.

Armadillo Sports

Wednesday?s 6-pack:
? Illinois 56, Michigan State 55? Spartans missed FT with chance to tie with 0:02 left.
? Clippers 116, Wizards 115? Washington blew a 35-point lead. Seriously.
? Auburn 55, Missouri 54? Tigers squeak thru their first-ever game as #1 in country.
? Kentucky 82, Mississippi State 74 OT? Wildcats blew 16-point lead in second half.
? UCSB 72, Cal-Northridge 45? Miles Norris was 9-10 behind the arc.
? UCLA 75, Arizona 59? Wildcats shot 31% from the floor.

Quote of the Day
?I don?t know what?s next. I?ve not spoken to anyone relative to doing TV ? (but) I think I?d like to do that. I think I?d be pretty good at it ? I?d like to try TV. I talked to Drew (Brees) a little bit about it last night. That?d be something that would interest me.?
Sean Payton

Wednesday?s quiz
When Sean Payton won his Super Bowl coaching the Saints, who did they beat?

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.

Monday?s quiz
Butler made the Final Four in consecutive years under Brad Stevens (2010-11); they were in the Horizon League back then.

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

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

13) Why some teams win, and some don?t. Here are the first 10 picks of the 2017 NFL Draft:
1) Cleveland- Myles Garrett, DE
2) Chicago- Mitch Trubisky, QB
3) San Francisco- Solomon Thomas, DE
4) Jacksonville- Leonard Fournette, RB
5) Tennessee- Corey Davis, WR
6) NJ Jets- Jamal Adams, S
7) Chargers- Mike Williams, WR
8) Carolina- Christian McCaffrey, RB
9) Cincinnati- John Ross, WR
10) Kansas City- Patrick Mahomes, QB
12) Houston- Deshaun Watson, QB

Ironically, the Chiefs acquired that #10 pick in a trade with Buffalo.

12) Sean Payton quit as coach of the Saints Monday, with three years left on his contract; the Saints not having a decent QB had to be a huge factor in that decision.

Right now, nine of the NFL?s 32 head coaching jobs are open.

11) Here are the first seven picks of the 2018 draft:
1) Cleveland- Baker Mayfield, QB
2) NJ Giants- Saquon Barkley, RB
3) NJ Jets- Sam Darnold, QB
4) Cleveland- Denzel Ward, CB
5) Denver- Bradley Chubb, LB
6) Indianapolis- Quentin Nelson, G
7) Buffalo- Josh Allen, QB

10) Scouting is incredibly important in football; I think it is actually underrated by media. Just look at this year?s Final Four in the NFL:
Rams? Cooper Kupp, Eastern Washington
49ers? Jimmy Garoppolo, Eastern Illinois
Bengals? Trey Hendrickson, Florida Atlantic
Chiefs? Tyreek Hill, West Alabama

9) Over the last 30 years, there have been six conference title games with division rivals
1992- Buffalo W29-10 @ Miami
1999- Tennessee W33-14 @ Jacksonville
2008- Pittsburgh W23-14 vs Baltimore
2010- Green Bay W21-14 @ Chicago
2013- Seattle W23-17 vs San Francisco

Packers were favored in 2010, so road teams are 3-2, favorites 3-2.

8) Over the last 30 years, there have been six conference title games with 2-seed hosting the 4-seed. Oddly, the 4-seed won five of those six games, a good trend for Cincinnati.

Over the last 30 years, Arizona?s 32-25 win over the Eagles in 2008 was the only conference title game between a #4 and a #6-seed, which is what 49ers-Rams is Sunday

7) As far as NFL overtime goes in the playoffs, I?d prefer that both teams get the ball once, just seems more fair. I?d be in favor of the home teams always getting the ball first instead of a coin flip. Home team is the higher seed, so they?ve earned the right.

6) In case you were wondering, in the last 14 Super Bowls, underdogs are 9-5 ATS.

5) Arizona State named former Ravens? coach Brian Billick as an assistant coach; Billick coached Baltimore from 1999-2007, winning Super Bowl XXXV. He had worked for NFL Network since then. Billick is the third ex-NFL head coach on the ASU staff, joining Herm Edwards, Marvin Lewis.

4) People get paid to provide advice on fantasy baseball, so they?ve started doing rankings on podcasts for 2022, but a good deal of it is pointless.
? Is there going to be a universal DH? Would be good to know.
? Will shifts be banned? Makes spray hitters more attractive.
? There are still a dozen or so really good players who are free agents.

Owners/players need to compromise on their disagreements and start spring training on time, for their own good. It is possible to kill the golden goose.

Oh by the way, the 8-team USFL kicks off April 16; that combined with the NBA/NHL playoffs, and lot of people won?t notice if baseball doesn?t start on time.

3) Guy was talking on a fantasy baseball podcast about how he has teams in 3-4 different fantasy leagues; I don?t have the mental bandwidth for that. I just have one team; maybe I?d be better off with teams in multiple leagues.

2) Why, you ask? Pitcher named Burch Smith just signed with the Seibu Lions in Japan, but back on May 11, 2013, Smith was a Padres pitching prospect making his debut in Tampa Bay.

Why do I mention this? I was in Las Vegas that week, staying at the SunCoast Casino, whose sportsbook was right next to their movie theater, which sold Orville Redenbacher popcorn, which is tremendous.

Anyway, our fantasy league didn?t have a phone app yet, so if I wanted to add a player, had to be on my laptop. The pitching on my fantasy team was off to a rough start that year; I really, really needed some help. Burch Smith was an intriguing prospect.

If Smith pitched well that game in Tampa, then someone was going to scoop him up before I got back to my hotel room to get on the laptop- I had to decide before I went downstairs to watch the game. We only got four pickups a month back then.

Long story short, I picked Smith up, hustled downstairs, got some popcorn and watched Smith toss a scoreless first inning. Life was good; then he gave up six runs in the second inning, and the popcorn didn?t taste as good.

Some days you?re the hammer; other days, you?re the nail.

1) David Ortiz got elected into the Baseball Hall of Fame last night, which is fine, but it is baffling to me how you can vote for Ortiz, but not vote for Bonds, Clemens or Alex Rodriguez. How are they any different than Ortiz?

Ortiz hit .286 in his six years with Minnesota, with an .809 OPS; THEY RELEASED HIM.

Ortiz goes to Boston, plays 14 more years with a.956 OPS. He just suddenly got that much better? Hmmmmm
