Johnson, Daniels lead NC State past Auburn
December 19, 2018
By The Associated Press

RALEIGH, N.C. (AP) Markell Johnson had career highs of 27 points and five 3-pointers to help North Carolina State upset No. 7 Auburn 78-71 on Wednesday night.

Devon Daniels scored all 15 of his points after halftime for the Wolfpack (10-1), who led nearly all night before pushing ahead for good in the final 10 minutes.

N.C. State shot 58 percent after halftime behind Johnson and Daniels. Johnson stood out with 19 points after the break, including a run of 10 straight points - a 3-pointer, a four-point play and pullup 3 in transition - during one critical 75-second sequence.

By the time Daniels scored twice followed by Johnson's layup, the Wolfpack had pushed the lead to a dozen near the four-minute mark on the way to another big upset under second-year coach Kevin Keatts.

J'Von McCormick scored 14 points for the Tigers (9-2), who shot 48 percent but committed a season-high 25 turnovers.

NO. 3 TENNESSE 83, SAMFORD 70

KNOXVILLE, Tenn. (AP) - Jordan Bone set career highs with 24 points and 11 assists, and No. 3 Tennessee beat Samford 83-70 for its fifth consecutive victory.

Bone shot 11 of 16 and committed only two turnovers. Admiral Schofield scored 18 points and Grant Williams had 13 of his 16 points after halftime to help the Volunteers (9-1) snap Samford's three-game winning streak. Kyle Alexander added 10 points.

Ruben Guerrero had 16 points and eight rebounds before fouling out for Samford (10-3). Kevion Nolan scored 13 points, Myron Gordon had 12 and Josh Sharkey added 10.

NO. 5 VIRGINIA 69, SOUTH CAROLINA 52

COLUMBIA, S.C. (AP) - Ty Jerome had a season-high 25 points and No. 5 Virginia added to its perfect start with a victory over South Carolina.

The Cavaliers improved to 10-0 for the first time since they opened with 19 straight wins on their way to the Atlantic Coast Conference title for the 2014-15 season. They showed off their usual stout defense while sending the Gamecocks (4-6) to their third straight loss - and second in a row to a No. 5 team after falling at then fifth-ranked Michigan on Dec. 8.

Kyle Guy had 18 points for Virginia, and Mamadi Diakite finished with 10. Chris Silva led South Carolina with 11 points.

NO. 11 FLORIDA STATE 95, NORTH FLORIDA 81

TALLAHASSEE, Fla. (AP) - Mfiondu Kabengele scored a career-high 24 points and No. 11 Florida State pulled away for a win against North Florida.

Kabengele made 7 of 12 shots from the floor, 10 of 10 free throws and pulled down seven rebounds as Florida State (10-1) earned its fifth straight victory. Terance Mann had 17 points, including several alley-oop dunks, as the Seminoles dominated inside. They finished with 64 points in the paint.

J.T. Escobar, who played at Maclay School and Florida A&M High in Tallahassee, had 27 points for North Florida (5-8). He went 6 for 6 from 3-point range.

NO. 13 VIRGINIA TECH 82, NORTH CAROLINA A&T 60

BLACKSBURG, Va. (AP) - Nickeil Alexander-Walker scored 12 of his 20 points in the second half, and No. 13 Virginia Tech beat North Carolina A&T for its fifth consecutive victory.

The Hokies (10-1) went 15 for 17 at the free-throw line and enjoyed a 42-20 rebounding advantage over the Aggies. Kerry Blackshear Jr. had 17 points and nine rebounds, and Justin Robinson finished with 14 points, seven boards and six assists.

Quavius Copeland scored 16 points for North Carolina A&T (4-7), and Milik Gantz had 14. The Aggies finished with 14 turnovers.

NO. 17 MISSISSIPPI STATE 98, WOFFORD 87

STARKVILLE, Miss. (AP) - Lamar Peters and Aric Holman each scored 19 points, and No. 17 Mississippi State beat Wofford for its seventh consecutive win.

The Bulldogs (10-1) rallied from a 12-point deficit early in the second half. Quinndary Weatherspoon made 14 of 15 foul shots on his way to 18 points, and Nick Weatherspoon and Reggie Perry each had 12 points for the Bulldogs.

Fletcher Magee scored 24 points for Wofford (9-4), and Cameron Jackson finished with 20. Nathan Hoover had 15 points for the Terriers in their first-ever meeting with Mississippi State.

NO. 22 INDIANA 86, CENTRAL ARKANSAS 53

BLOOMINGTON, Ind. (AP) - Devonte Green scored 19 points, freshman Romeo Langford recorded his second double-double and No. 22 Indiana beat Central Arkansas.

The Hoosiers (10-2) have won five straight, though this was their first victory by more than three points during the streak. They've also won eight straight home games. Langford had 18 points, 11 rebounds and five assists.

Hayden Koval had 16 points as the Bears (4-7) lost their fourth game to a power-conference team this season. Central Arkansas, Scottie Pippen's alma mater, is 0-7 against Big Ten teams since joining Division I in 2006-07.

Armadillo: Thursday's six-pack

Odds to win the Big East conference tournament in March:

8-5? Villanova

4-1? St John?s

6-1? Butler, Marquette

8-1? Creighton

10-1? Seton Hall, Xavier

15-1? Georgetown, Providence

20-1? DePaul


**********

Armadillo: Thursday's List of 13: Questions, questions, always questions??

These are questions to discuss with friends or ponder while you?re trying to get to sleep at night:
13) If you could have dinner with any three people, living or dead, who would you choose?

12) If you had to do it all over again, what college would you have gone to, or would you have even gone to college?

11) All-time favorite movie?

10) If someone was going to buy you a car, any car, which one would you choose?

9) Whats your favorite vacation destination(s)?

8) When college coaches get fired, how often does the new coach talk to the old coach to share information? It has to happen sometimes, just not sure how much.

7) OK, 2:00 to go, your team is down 3 and you have the ball on your own 25-yard line. Of any QB ever, who would you want running your team for that last 2:00?

6) Someone is going to buy you dinner, anything you want, anywhere? what would you order?

5) If your son was a great college basketball player and he let you choose where he would go to college, where would you send him?

4) You can go to one concert; which performer/band wold you choose to see?

3) Bases loaded, two outs, you?re down a run in last inning; what hitter, past or present, would you want up at the plate for your team?

2) You can go on a date with anyone (assuming you?re single for that night), and not with your spouse; who would you choose?

1) My last question isn?t a question, its a thought: Live your life, do things you want to do. Life is short; do what you can, while you can. Have fun.

Thursday's Tip Sheet
David Schwab

As the non-conference portion of this year?s college basketball season continues to wind down, Thursday?s betting board is highlighted by a neutral-site Big 12/ACC showdown at Madison Square Garden between Texas Tech and Duke.

As a bonus betting preview, the Mountain West?s Utah State Aggies will go on the road to the Fertitta Center to face the AAC?s nationally ranked Houston Cougars.

No. 12 Texas Tech Red Raiders vs. No. 2 Duke Blue Devils (ESPN2, 7:00 p.m. ET)

Opening Odds: Duke -7 ?, Total 144 ?

Betting Matchup

With Saturday?s 82-48 romp over Abilene Christian, the Red Raiders ran their straight-up winning streak to 10 games. They covered against the spread as 19-point home favorites after going 0-3 ATS in their previous three games. Texas Tech is an even 5-5 ATS overall with the total staying UNDER in seven of the 10 games. Much of the team?s early success can be attributed to the elevated play of sophomore guard Jarret Culver. With 30 points in his last outing, he is averaging a team-high 19.1 points per game while also leading the team in assists (4.5).

Duke has worked its way back up to No. 2 in the nation with five SU wins (4-1 ATS) since its 89-87 loss to the Gonzaga Bulldogs on Nov. 21 as an eight-point favorite. The Blue Devils finished their recent three-game tour against the Ivy League with an average of 92 points a game. They are 10-1 SU overall with a 7-4 record ATS. The total has stayed UNDER in Duke?s last five games after going OVER 168 ?-points against the Bulldogs. Freshman forward RJ Barrett is averaging 24.5 PPG and he has eclipsed that number in each of his last four starts.

Betting Trends

-- The Red Raiders are 1-5 ATS in their last six games against the ACC and they have failed to cover in their last five Thursday games. The total has stayed UNDER in seven of their last 10 games following a SU win.

-- The Blue Devils have a 5-2 record ATS in their last seven games against a team with a SU winning record. The total has stayed UNDER or ended as a PUSH in their last four games coming off a SU win and it has gone OVER in eight of their last 11 games against the Big 12.


Utah State Aggies at No. 21 Houston Cougars (ESPN3, 8:00 p.m. ET)

Opening Odds: Houston -5 ?, Total 143 ?

Betting Matchup

Earlier losses to Arizona State and BYU are the Aggies? only two SU setbacks so far against nine wins. They failed to cover on Dec. 8 in a nine-point victory against Weber State as 11 ?-point favorites as part of an 8-3 record ATS. The total has stayed UNDER in three of their last five games. Utah State is averaging 84.0 PPG while holding opposing teams to 66.0 points at the other end of court. Junior guard Sam Merrill is averaging 20.2 PPG and shooting 51.1 percent from the floor.

The Cougars will be putting their perfect 10-0 SU start on the line after squeezing out a 68-64 victory against St. Louis on Sunday. Closing as eight-point home favorites, this was the first time they failed to cover in their last five games. Houston is 6-3-1 ATS overall and the total has stayed UNDER in six of its last eight contests. Three of five starters ended Sunday?s game in double figures led by senior guard Corey Davis Jr?s team-high 17 points. Houston shot 44 percent from the field to basically mirror its field goal percentage on the year (44.9).

Betting Trends

-- The Aggies have covered in six of their last eight games following a SU win, but they fall to 2-5 ATS in their last seven road games against a team with a SU winning record at home. The total has gone OVER in their last four games played on Thursday.

-- The Cougars are 11-5-2 ATS in their last 18 home games, but they have failed to cover in five of their last six games against the Mountain West. The total has stayed UNDER in six of their last eight games coming off a SU win.

Williamson leads No. 2 Duke over Texas Tech at MSG
December 20, 2018
By The Associated Press

NEW YORK (AP) Zion Williamson had 17 points, 13 rebounds and Duke fans roaring each time he touched the ball before he fouled out, and the second-ranked Blue Devils ended No. 12 Texas Tech's unbeaten start with a 69-58 victory Thursday night at Madison Square Garden.

RJ Barrett scored 16 points for the Blue Devils (11-1) and the program earned its 35th win at MSG. With the Garden rocking from the tip, the Blue Devils must have felt like they had a home game.

Cam Reddish hit a late 3-pointer for a 63-57 lead that sealed the win in the first meeting between the programs. Both reached the Elite Eight last season and the atmosphere had a late-March feel.

Jarrett Culver scored 25 points for the Red Raiders (10-1) in their first loss since the NCAA Tournament.

NO. 21 HOUSTON 60, UTAH STATE 50

HOUSTON (AP) - Armoni Brooks scored all of his 15 points in the second half and Houston overcame a sluggish first half to rally past Utah State.

Brooks shot 5 for 10 in the second half and led the way as the Cougars (11-0) came back from a 10-point halftime deficit for their 24th consecutive home win. DeJon Jarreau had 10 points off the bench for Houston, which shot 32 percent from the field, including 39 percent in the second half.

Dwayne Brown Jr. had 19 points and seven rebounds off the bench, and Quinn Taylor added 14 points and nine rebounds for Utah State (9-3), which shot 37 percent from the field but was 5 for 19 in the second half. Utah State lost its 15th straight against an AP Top 25 opponent.

Friday?s 6-pack

NFL trends for Week 16:

? Green Bay is 1-7-1 vs spread in its last nine road games.

? Saints covered 10 of their last 11 games.

? New England is 7-1-1 vs spread in last nine divisional home games.

? Chargers covered seven of their last ten games.

? Giants covered their last six road games.

? Chicago covered seven of its last eight games.

Quote of the Day
?To me, the feeling of being comfortable in your own skin is the hardest to attain yet most worthwhile kind of success. And it doesn?t come from following someone else?s precepts or schedules or ideas about how you should be living your life.?
Brian Koppelman

Friday?s quiz
Where did James Harden play his college basketball?

Thursday?s quiz
Mississippi State coach Ben Howland was basketball coach at UCLA before Steve Alford.

Wednesday?s quiz
John Adams was the second President of the United States.

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

Friday?s List of 13: Doing some thinking out loud?..

13) How about this idea for the NCAA basketball tournament?

Committee picks the 68 teams, sets the two playoff games, and seeds the top 32 teams, but then there is a nationally-televised draft, where teams can choose who they play in the first round, essentially filing out half the first-round matchups in real time on national TV.

12) It would work this way; the play-in games are set by the committee so those eight teams can get started on preparation, but say Kansas is the #1 national seed- they can choose any of the four #16-seeds to play in the first round.

The #2 and #3 seeds would then choose which 16-seed they wanted to play, the #4 seed would get the last remaining #16 seed, then they move on to the #2-15 matchups. The #5-seed would have first choice of the #15 seeds to play, and so on??.

It would create some more drama and a little transparency- I think people would watch in on TV, for sure.

11) Duquesne +5.5 or +6 Wednesday night was one of worst beats in recent memory; with game tied and 0:05.4 left. Duquesne was called for a foul under the basket- Duquesne coach Keith Dambrot (Lebron James? high school coach) lost his mind at the call, was given two technical fouls and Penn State made all six foul shots.

Duquesne threw away the inbounds pass and that was that; weird thing about Dambrot going nuts was that Dukes were 29-32 on foul line for the game, Penn State 17-26, so not like he was getting the short end of the stick the whole game.

10) Patriots? WR Josh Gordon is stepping away from football to focus on his mental health; he had been averaging 65 receiving yards a game.

9) Houston Rockets made 26-55 3-pointers in their 136-118 win over the Wizards Wednesday, setting an NBA record for most made 3?s in a game; they only took 30 2-point shots (19-30). James Harden scored 35 points in 34:00 for Houston, which won its fifth straight game.

8) Carolina Panthers are shutting QB Cam Newton (shoulder) down for the last two games; Carolina lost its last six games, Taylor Heinicke is the Panthers? new QB; he?s thrown five NFL passes in mop-up duty in six games, five this year and one for Houston LY.

Heinicke played college ball at Old Dominion; this is his first NFL start.

Panthers have won six divisional titles in their 24-year history, but they?ve never had two winning seasons in a row.

7) There were 66 touchdowns scored in Week 15?s NFL games, nine less TD?s than in any other week this season.

In weeks 1-12 this season, NFL teams averaged 23.0 ppg.
In weeks 13-15 this year, NFL teams averaged 19.7 ppg.

6) New Jersey Giants? combined record the last five years: 31-48, 0-1 in playoff games; they seem intent on moving forward with QB Eli Manning, who turns 38 on January 3rd.

Manning helped the Giants win two Super Bowls, going on 4-0 playoff runs in both ?07 and ?11, but 2011 was seven years ago; he has a career playoff record of 8-4.

Giants have had three head coaches the last four years, but never changed QB?s; interesting decision they have here; if I was them, I?d move on to a younger QB, but thats me? this will be interesting to follow next summer/fall.

5) Favorites won the first seven bowl games this month, going 6-1 vs spread.

4) Dallas Cowboys have scored TD?s only 47.6% of time when they had 1st-and-goal this year, the only NFL team with a %age under 50%.

Giants (52.4%), 49ers (54.5%) have next worst marks. Carolina (88.5%), Denver (86.4%) have the best TD percentage on 1st-and-goal series.

3) Newly-signed Mets? catcher, the oft-injured Wilson Ramos gets a $500,000 bonus next season if he catches 100+ games. He?s caught 100+ games in three of nine MLB seasons.

2) Angels gave Matt Harvey $14M, Trevor Cahill $9.5M to pitch for them next season.

1) People on Twitter are crazy; someone was bashing Drew Brees the other day; now chances are the guy lost his fantasy league playoff game or lost his bet on the Saints or the over, but bashing Brees is pretty bleepin? stupid- his team won that game and is 13-1. Grow up!!!

Friday's Tip Sheet
David Schwab

It was has been a very exciting start to the new college basketball season during the nonconference portion of the schedule. A few Mid-Major programs not all that familiar with the national rankings have been able to make a name for themselves with impressive starts.

Two of those teams will be in action on Friday night starting with No. 24 Furman on the road against LSU. The Buffalo Bulls are currently No. 14 in the latest AP Top 25 and they will square off against No. 20 Marquette a bit later that night.

No. 24 Furman Paladins at LSU Tigers (SEC Network, 8:00 p.m. ET)

Opening Odds: LSU -9 ?, Total 147

Betting Matchup

When you win your first 12 games straight-up no matter how soft the schedule, you are bound to attract some national attention. When you mix in a huge upset against the reining national champions, you are likely to be ranked. Furman?s improbable 76-68 victory against Villanova on Nov. 17 as a 16 ?-point underdog was on the heels of an earlier win against Loyola-Chicago in its only two games closing as an underdog. It is 5-4 against the spread in games with a posted betting line.

LSU is off to a SU 8-3 start with a 5-6 record ATS after beating Saint Mary?s 78-74 last Saturday as a three-point favorite. The total went OVER 149 points in that game and it has gone OVER in four of the Tigers? last six games. In their prior outing against Houston, they failed to cover as four-point underdogs in an 82-76 loss. LSU has been able to average 81.2 points per game behind junior guard Skylar Mays (13.3 points) as one of four Tigers scoring in double figures.

Betting Trends

-- The Paladins have a 4-1 record ATS in their last five games against the SEC and they have gone 11-5 ATS in their last 16 games following a SU win. The total has stayed UNDER in five of their last six road games.

-- The Tigers are 2-5 ATS in their last seven home games with a 1-9-1 record ATS in their last 12 games played on Friday. The total has stayed UNDER in five of their last six games played at home.


No. 14 Buffalo Bulls at No. 20 Marquette Golden Eagles (FOX Sports 1, 8:30 p.m. ET)

Opening Odds: Marquette -2 ?, Total 154

Betting Matchup

Buffalo has been able to work its way deep into the national rankings with its perfect 11-0 start SU that includes victories against West Virginia and more recently Syracuse closing as an underdog. In Tuesday night?s 71-59 upset on the road against the Orange as a 3 ?-point underdog, the total stayed UNDER 147 points. It has stayed UNDER in four of the Bulls? last six games. They are 7-2-1 ATS in 10 games with a posted betting line. Senior guard CJ Massinburg led the way against Syracuse with 25 points and eight rebounds.

With Tuesday?s 92-66 romp over North Dakota as 21 ?-point home favorites, the Golden Eagles extended their current SU winning streak to six games while going 4-2 ATS. The total went OVER 142 points in that win and it has gone OVER in their last four games. Marquette is now 9-2 SU overall with a 6-5 record ATS. Junior guard Markus Howard scored a game-high 26 points in Tuesday?s win and he has now exceeded his 23.2-point scoring average on the year in three of his last four starts.
