Tuesday’s 6-pack
Division I basketball teams in the state of Indiana:
— Ball State
— Butler
— Evansville
— Indiana
— Indiana- Fort Wayne
— IUPUI
— Indiana State
— Notre Dame
— Purdue
— Valparaiso

Tweet of the Day
“Man Bronny definitely better than some of these cats I’ve been watching on league pass today”
Lebron James, referring to his son, who is a senior in high school

Tuesday’s quiz
In the excellent movie Molly’s Game, what famous actor plays Molly’s father?

Monday’s quiz
There are ten Division I college basketball teams in the state of Indiana.

Sunday’s quiz
In the old animated TV show The Jetsons, George’s daughter Judy went to Orbit High School.

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

Tuesday’s Den: Nobody asked me, but…….

— Furman 88, Chattanooga 79— Paladins lost SoCon final last year in gut-wrenching fashion; they got revenge here, jumping out to a 30-11 lead and then holding on, making it into March Madness for the first time since 1980.

— Louisiana 71, South Alabama 66— Watched lot of Sun Belt games on ESPN+ this winter; this league needs more national exposure- they play good ball. Ragin’ Cajuns are 26-7; they’re in the NCAA Tournament for first time since 2014.

— Charleston 77, Towson 72— 30-3 Cougars are in the minority, a dominant mid-major that won its conference tournament this week. Charleston won its last nine games; they won this game by outscoring Towson 28-9 on the foul line.

— NC-Wilmington 79, Hofstra 73 OT— Hofstra tied Charleston atop the CAA, but they lost here, after leading by 12 in first half.

Hofstra won the CAA tournament three years ago, but COVID cancelled the NCAA’s that year. Last time the Pride played in NCAA’s was 2001, when Jay Wright was their coach.

— Northern Kentucky 75, Youngstown State 63— Top-seeded Penguins start five seniors, but they got whacked here; it was 40-25 at halftime. Northern Kentucky plays Cleveland State tonight for the Horizon title.

— New Orleans Saints signed QB Derek Carr to a 4-year, $150M deal; $37.5M a year.

— Seattle Seahawks re-signed their QB Geno Smith to a 3-year, $105M deal.

— From 2015-17, Kirk Cousins went 24-23-1 as Washington’s QB; since then, 12 different guys have played QB for the Redskins/Commanders- their combined record is 32-49-1.

— How do you evaluate QB’s? You read the stuff about the NFL Combine and how Florida QB Anthony Richardson impressed all the scouts with a strong vertical jump and broad jump, but does that really matter?

Florida was 6-7 last year; Richardson completed 53.8% of his passes. When evaluating a QB, I’d prefer game tapes over a workout.

— UCLA gave football coach Chip Kelly a contract extension thru 2027; he’ll make just over $6M a year. UCLA finished last season ranked #21, first time since 2014 they finished a season ranked in the top 25.

— I like the XFL’s kickoff rule; the two teams line up 10 yards apart, and no one can move until the receiver touches the ball. There have been some decent returns in the games I’ve watched.

— Passing leaders, thru three weeks of the USFL:
855 yards— Ben DiNucci, Seattle
723— Brandon Silvers, Houston
636— AJ McCarron, St Louis
436— Jack Coan, San Antonio
434— Paxton Lynch, Orlando

— There is a casino in downtown Las Vegas, the El Cortez; they posted on Twitter that they went through 3,250 pairs of dice last year.

— Couple days ago, Mets are playing and other team has men on 1st/2nd with no one out in the first inning. #3 hitter hits an infield pop-up to the shortstop; umpire calls the infield fly rule, so the batter is automatically out.

Francisco Lindor lets the ball drop, seeing if any of the runners will screw it up and run. No one did; don’t think I’ve seen that happen before.

— Red Sox IF Justin Turner got hit in the face with a pitch Monday, got 16 stitches but no bones were broken.

— Only five major league pitchers threw 200+ innings last year.

By way of contrast, Hall of Fame pitcher Sandy Koufax retired when he was 30; his last two years in the majors, he threw 335, then 323 innings. Times have changed.

These days, teams are paying big-time pitchers a boatload of $$$ under long-term contracts; they can’t have them retiring when they’re 30.

— Cubs no-hit San Diego in a spring training game Friday, the first no-hitter in a spring training game since 2017.

— I’m thinking that this spring/summer, I’ll be making a list of teams that get ravaged by the transfer portal, then consider picking against those teams all of next season. Teams fire their coach, the better players bolt for greener pastures and the new coach is left to scramble for a new roster, which is tough to do.

Think of Illinois State losing Antonio Reeves, who played four years for the Redbirds, but then bolted to Kentucky when coach Dan Muller got fired. Illinois State went 11-21 this season with a new coach. Reeves is averaging 14.2 ppg for Kentucky this season— Illinois State would’ve won a lot more than 11 games had Reeves stayed with the Redbirds.

— Austin Peay fired coach Nate James after they went 21-39 in two seasons; James had been an assistant coach at Duke for 13 years before that. Austin Peay moved from the OVC to the Atlantic Sun this season, and finished last.

— Former LA Laker Michael Cooper is coaching high school ball now; his Culver City team is playing in the Regional Division III championship game Tuesday night. Culver City has never made it this far in the state playoffs before.

— Alabama freshman Brandon Miller is the first player since the Lakers’ Anthony Davis (in 2012) to win SEC Freshman of the Year and also be SEC Player of the Year.

Quote of the Day
“We will continue to negotiate in good faith with Lamar, and we are hopeful that we can strike a long-term deal that is fair to both Lamar and the Ravens. Our ultimate goal is to build a championship team with Lamar Jackson leading the way for many years to come.”
Ravens’ GM Eric DeCosta

Wednesday’s quiz
Where did Saints’ QB Derek Carr play his college football?

Tuesday’s quiz
In the excellent movie Molly’s Game, Kevin Costner plays Molly’s father.

Monday’s quiz
There are ten Division I college basketball teams in the state of Indiana.

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

Wednesday’s Den: Mid-week, late-night musings……..

It is 3:45am; I just finished writing the blog for today, then I hit the wrong button and deleted the whole damn thing. All of it. Not my finest hour. Let’s try again.

— So far, this has been a very strange Champ Week; the 15/16 seeds in the NCAA Tournament are going to be worse than usual.

— Big West tournament
Cal Poly 88, Long Beach State 68— Cal Poly had lost 18 games in a row; they went 1-18 in the Big West, Long Beach went 11-9, but the Mustangs made 11-22 on the arc in this game and won easily. Midway thru the second half, the TV analyst on ESPN+ said that the Long Beach players looked disinterested. Losses like this get coaches fired.

— Big Sky tournament
Northern Arizona 83, Montana 71— Lumberjacks started the season 7-21, but have now won five of their last six games, scoring 81+ points in their last five games. NAU is the #9-seed in a bad league, but they play #2-seed Montana State for the Big Sky title Wednesday night.

Montana State 60, Weber State 58, 2OT— This was a rock fight; 118 points in 50:00. In the last 20:00 of this game, a total of only 34 points were scored. Weber State’s best player shot 5-24 from the floor. Montana State’s two best guys played 49-44 minutes, now have to play again tonight for the conference championship.

— Atlantic 15 tourney
St Joe’s 72, Loyola Chi 67– Their last five years in the MVC, Loyola went 124-44, 69-21 in league games, but their administration got greedy and moved up to the A-15, where they went 10-21 this season, 4-14 in their new league. No bueno.

I’ve been saying this a lot; big fish, small pond. Winning is fun, losing sucks. Gonzaga wins a lot because they’ve stayed in the WCC, a small pond.

— CAA tourney
Charleston 63, NC-Wilmington 58— Cougars have now won ten games in a row; they’re 31-3 and played five sophomores, four seniors in this game. An odd combination. UNCW led this game by 8 with 6:13 left in this game; it looked like another top seed was going down, but Charleston survived and now advances to March for first time since 2018, second time since 1999.

Charleston has good depth, they defend well; they’ll be a tough out next week.

— Horizon tourney
Northern Kentucky 63, Cleveland State 61— Norse are in NCAA’s for first time since 2019; they force turnovers 23.2% of time (#14). Their opponents’ average possession is 19.3 seconds, the longest possessions in the country. Northern Kentucky beat Cincinnati in November; they won’t be in awe of whoever they play next week.

— Northeast tourney
Merrimack 67, Fairleigh Dickinson 66
Good news for Merrimack: They’re the NEC champs.
Bad news for Merrimack: They’re not eligible to play in the NCAA’s. This is only their 4th year in Division I, so Fairleigh Dickinson goes to the NCAA’s, even though they lost this game.

— Southland tourney
Texas A&M-Corpus Christi 80, McNeese State 63
Northwestern State 74, New Orleans 70

Finally, a league where the tournament final is #1-seed vs #2-seed. Northwestern State is 22-10 despite being the #348 team on defensive boards. Corpus Christi is 22-10 despite being having the #262 eFG% defense.

I think the winner avoids going to Dayton for a play-in game, because of all the other upsets.

— Summit tournament
Oral Roberts 92, North Dakota State 58— Oral Roberts has won 27 of its last 28 games; they’re experience team #26, continuity team #28, and will be a popular Cinderella pick when the brackets come out.

Oral Roberts starts four seniors and a junior; a very mature team. ORU made the Sweet 16 two years ago; can they do it again?

— WAC tournament
There were four WAC games Tuesday; underdogs covered all four games.

— WCC tournament
Gonzaga 77, Saint Mary’s 51— Gonzaga beats the Gaels in the finals of the WCC tournament for the fourth year in a row. Mark Few has coached Gonzaga for 24 years; he’s coached in the WCC finals all 24 years, which is pretty amazing.

Everyone has been saying the Zags aren’t as good this year, but you look and there they are, with the #1 eFG% in the whole damn country.

Like I said before, big fish, small pond is a lot of fun.

— From 2012-14, when Rick Pitino was coaching Louisville, they won three consecutive conference tournaments, two in the Big East, one in their only year in the AAC.

Then Louisville moved to the ACC; since then, the Cardinals are 3-7 in conference tournament games- they went 4-28 this year, which is an amazing downfall for a proud program.

— Last four years, #1-seeds are 9-7 ATS in first round NCAA Tournament games; those spreads are going to be a little higher than usual this time around.

— Baltimore Ravens placed the non-exclusive franchise tag on QB Lamar Jackson; he will make $32M next season, unless Jackson signs with another team in free agency. Should he sign an offer sheet from another organization, Baltimore will have five days to match it- if they match it, Jackson stays in Baltimore.

If they don’t match the offer, the Ravens will get two first round draft picks in exchange.

— New Jersey Giants gave QB Daniel Jones a 4-year, $160M deal; Jones better buy coach Brian Daboll a new Ferrari every year for the rest of his life. This time last year, Jones was headed to the scrap heap; thanks to Daboll’s coaching, Jones is now really, really rich.

Thursday’s 6-pack
Best teams in country at offensive rebounding:
39%— UConn (24-7, 13-7)
38.5%— Purdue (26-5, 15-5)
38.3%— Kentucky (21-10, 12-6)
37.8%— Houston (29-2, 17-1)
37.1%— Tennessee (22-9, 11-7)
36.9%— UAB (23-8, 14-6)

Quote of the Day
“Nothing ends well, or else it wouldn’t end.”
Coughlin’s Law, from the movie Cocktail

Thursday’s quiz
When Ichiro Suzuki played for the Seattle Mariners, what number did he wear?

Wednesday’s quiz
Saints’ QB Derek Carr played his college football at Fresno State.

Tuesday’s quiz
In the excellent movie Molly’s Game, Kevin Costner plays Molly’s father.

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

Thursday’s Den: Doing some thinking out loud…….

ACC tournament
— Wake Forest 77, Syracuse 74— Daivien Williamson drilled a 3-pointer with 0:00.5 left and Wake Forest advanced to play Miami in Thursday’s quarterfinals. Syracuse made 10-17 on the arc; they led by 12 early on, but after the game, Jim Boeheim stepped down as coach, ending his 47-year career coaching at Syracuse.

Syracuse immediately replaced Boeheim with assistant/former player Adrian Autry.

Big X tournament
— West Virginia 78, Texas Tech 62— Mountaineers won for fourth time in five games; after the game, Texas Tech fired coach Mark Adams, who had previously been suspended for comments he made to a player last week. They said he stepped down too, which is doubtful.

Big East tournament
— Villanova 80, Georgetown 48— In six years under Patrick Ewing (the best player in Hoyas’ history), Georgetown is 75-109, 28-81 in conference play. It is inconceivable that they would let Ewing coach again next season, but they haven’t fired him……yet.

Big Sky tournament
— Montana State 85, Northern Arizona 78— Bobcats won 2nd straight Big Sky title; they’ve won 17 of their last 19 games. Montana State was 31-39 on foul line; they also caught a break in that they got to play the #9-seed in the final.

Big 14 tournament
— Minnesota 78, Nebraska 75— #14-seed Gophers upset the #11-seed, typical of this week; Minnesota had lost 13 of its last 14 games, now they get to lose to Maryland Thursday.

C-USA tournament
— Western Kentucky 73, Texas-El Paso 67— Miners jumped out to a 22-6 lead, but they were 4-10 on foul line, WKU was 20-30.

— Rice 72, Texas-San Antonio 71— Owls limped into this tournament on a 2-9 skid, but they shot 66% inside arc, and hung out to win after blowing a 12-point first half lead.

Southland tournament
— Texas A&M-Corpus Christi 75, Northwestern State 71— Demons raced out to a 26-10 lead, but Corpus Christi shot 63% inside the arc, put four guys in double figures and won Southland title for second year in a row. Islanders are 46-22 in two years under Steve Lutz; will he have a shot at the Texas Tech job?

MAAC tournament
— Saint Peter’s 70, Rider 62— Rider beat the Peacocks twice this season, by 13-21 points, but when it really counted, Saint Peter’s posted the upset. Rider was 11-3 in MAAC at one point, but wound up losing five of their last seven games.

Mountain West tournament
— UNLV 78, Air Force 70 OT— Host Rebels haven’t won this tournament since 2008; game was 57-all after regulation, but UNLV scored 21 points in overtime and advances to play Boise State Thursday. Senior G Harkless scored 35 points; they need more balanced scoring.

Patriot League
— Colgate 79, Lafayette 61— Red Raiders are in NCAA’s for 4th time in five years; they’re shooting 40.9% on the arc (#1), 57.1% inside arc (#7)- they have the best eFG% in country, will be a tough out in the first round of the NCAA’s. They’re an experienced team with continuity #17; they can win a game next week.

— Michigan Wolverines lost two of their last three games, putting them on the wrong side of the bubble. All three of those games went to overtime; Michigan is 4-12 this year in games decided by 7 or less points, or in overtime.

— UCLA’s 2nd-leading scorer Jaylen Clark has an achilles injury, is out for the year; Bruins are #278 in bench minutes- their roster just got a lot thinner.

— Some of the teams in the World Baseball Classic played major league teams Wednesday; you would think MLB TV would show those games, but they showed none of them. Do the people who run Major League Baseball care about promoting their game?

Jose Altuve played for Venezuela against the Astros Wednesday; he went 1-4.

Dominican Republic has quite a lineup; Astros’ SS Jeremy Pena batted 9th against the Braves in a 9-0 Dominican win (not many Atlanta regulars played).

It is depressing to type this, but the A’s lost 3-2 to the Colombian National Team.

Oy.
