*********************
Saturday?s Den: Wrapping up a busy Friday??.
13) Duke 84, Gonzaga 81:
? Excellent game; seemed like March, or April.
? Duke outscored Gonzaga 15-7 on foul line.
? Banchero scored 20 points in first half, one in second half.
? Zags were only 6-21 on the arc.
12) Dayton 74, Kansas 73:
? 16-point underdogs pull biggest upset of season so far.
? Dayton is least experienced team in country.
? Amzil hit game-winning hoop, his only basket of the game.
? Dayton-Belmont is the final of this tournament, on Sunday.
11) Baylor 75, Michigan State 58:
? Bears win the Battle of Atlantis.
? Baylor outscored Spartans 37-22 in second half.
? Bears shot 65.7% inside the arc.
10) NC State 34, North Carolina 30:
? Tar Heels kicked 50-yard FG to lead 30-21 with 2:12 left.
? NC State then scored two touchdowns in 26 seconds for the win; they recovered an onside kick after the first TD.
9) Weird Stats of the Day:
? Last three years, NFL road teams are 9-0 on Thanksgiving Day
? Nebraska finished 1-8 in conference games this season, but Cornhuskers scored 239 points, gave up 239 points in those games- their one Big 14 win was 49-7 over Northwestern, the eight losses were by total of 42 points.
8) Raiders-Cowboys game Thursday got the NFL?s best TV ratings since 1990; they also the most penalties in a game since 2016. Those two facts are not connected.
7) Cincinnati 35, East Carolina 13? Bearcats finish regular season a perfect 12-0, now have to win the AAC title game, then hope the voting system isn?t corrupt, so they can play for a national title.
6) San Diego State has won its last six basketball games against Big East opponents.
5) Detroit Lions are 0-10-1, but they?ve led four games in 4th quarter, are 7-4 vs spread. Their four blown leads in 4th quarter are most in league this season.
4) College football coaching stuff:
? Louisiana Tech told football coach Skip Holtz to take a hike; is this a landing spot for former LSU coach Ed Orgeron?
? Wake Forest wisely signed coach Dave Clawson to a contract extension.
? TCU signed coach Sonny Dykes away from SMU.
3) There are six bowl games on December 18, not really sure why, but that?ll be a busy TV day.
2) New York Mets were busy Friday:
? They are signing OF Starling Marte to a 4-year, $78M contract
? They signed OF Mark Canha to a 2-year, $26.5M deal
? They signed IF Eduardo Escobar to a 2-year, $20M deal.
1) Blind resume for college football coaches. Here is one, for a guy in his third year as a college head coach.
2019? School A- Goes 5-7, then jumps to a new school.
2020? School B? Goes 2-5 in a year where the pandemic screwed things up.
2021? Is 9-2 in his second year at School B, a school in a major league.
Three years as a head coach, 16-14 record. Any guesses who he is?
Michigan State just gave Mel Tucker a 10-year, $95M contract; he is 16-14 as a head coach. Lot of faith for a coach with one winning season.
