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

Tuesday’s Den: Random stuff on a snowy day……..

Atlantic Sun tournament
— Bellarmine 76, North Florida 74— Knights lost by 12 at North Florida three days ago, but won this game on a neutral court, scoring a hoop with 0:00.4 left. Bellarmine now plays at Liberty on Tuesday night, quick turnaround for the lower seed.

— Queens 61, Florida Gulf Coast 55— This is first season in Division I for the Queens Royals; they had lost five of last six games before this win. Queens plays at Kennesaw State Tuesday in the next round of the A-Sun Tournament.

This was the first conference tournament to start; a few more start tonight.

— ACC is having a down basketball season; going into Monday night’s games, Duke (#34), Miami (#37) were the two highest-ranked teams on KenPom.com.

Every year since at least 2002, ACC has had 2+ teams finish in KenPom’s top 20, so they’ve got some work to do for that to happen this year.

— Patriot League tournament is played on higher-seeded teams home courts, but home teams are 47-43 SU in Patriot League games this season, worst home court record for any league in the country.

— Mountain West tournament is in Las Vegas; funny that even though they’re the host school, UNLV hasn’t won the Mountain West tournament since 2008.

— Atlanta Hawks signed Quin Snyder to a 5-year deal to be their new coach; the Duke alum replaces another ACC alum, NC State’s Nate McMillan. Hawks are 31-30, the #8-seed in the East as I type this. McMillan was 110-92 in three years coaching Atlanta.

This is my annual reminder to you that the Hawks’ owner is Tony Ressler, a hedge fund guy and obviously a billionaire. Ressler has been married to actress Jami Gertz for 34 years; she was in Less Than Zero, a terrific movie with Andrew McCarthy/Robert Downey Jr. Funny how a really rich guy has a beautiful wife. Go figure.

Couple years when the Hawks missed the playoffs, Jami Gertz represented them at the NBA’s Draft Lottery. Atlanta is trying for its third straight winning season; we’ll see if the coaching change makes any difference. Snyder was 393-294 coaching the Jazz, only 21-30 in playoff games.

— Milwaukee Bucks got sold this week, to the Haslam family that also owns the Cleveland Browns. Haslam’s paid $3.5B for the Bucks, that’s billion, with a B.

— I watch a ton of college basketball on TV; to me, the TV analyst I learn the most from is Dalen Cuff on ESPN. He isn’t a shill for anyone; he’ll speak the truth and not everyone does that.

— Super Bowl champion Chiefs did the expected, promoted Matt Nagy to offensive coordinator, replacing the departed Eric Bieniemy, who left to be OC at Washington.

— Charger-Bronco games should be interesting next year; Denver hired Joe Lombardi as their new offensive coordinator, six weeks after the Chargers fired him from the same job. Chargers quickly hired former Dallas OC Kellen Moore to replace Lombardi.

— Washington Commanders cut QB Carson Wentz, who went 2-5 as Washington’s starter this past season. Wentz will be on his 4th different team in four years next season; could a reunion with former Colts’ coach Frank Reich happen in Carolina?

— There was a story in The Athletic last week saying at this time last year, Russell Wilson was trying get Pete Carroll fired as coach of the Seahawks; the whole thing ended with Seahawks trading Wilson to Denver, where the Broncos floundered, but now they have Sean Payton as coach, so 2023 should be better for them.

Carroll has coached Seattle for 13 years; he is 138-90-1 there, with a Super Bowl title in 2013.

— Week 2 XFL:
Battlehawks 20, Seattle 18
St Louis won its first two games by a combined 5 points.
Seattle lost its first two games by a combined 6 points.
St Louis kicked a 44-yard FG as time expired for the win.

Defenders 18, Vipers 6
Las Vegas led 6-0 at half, didn’t score in 2nd half on a rainy night in desert.
Vipers completed only 11-23 passes, for 93 yards.
Defenders outgained Las Vegas, 319-177

Brahmas 30, Guardians 12
Total yardage was only 210-175, but San Antonio won going away.
Former Wisconsin QB Coen was 16-24/165 passing, with TD throws to 3 different guys.
Orlando is hurting at QB; Paxton Lynch got benched again. Backup Francois was 6-13 passing for 8 yards.

Roughnecks 23, Renegades 14
Wade Phillips’ team won first two games, by 21-9 points.
Total yardage was 242-125, Houston.
Thru two weeks, favorites are 4-4 ATS, over is 5-3.

— You realize you watch too much TV when you’re sitting there are 5am watching re-runs of The Jetsons on HBO Max; loved that show when I was a kid, but that was also 50 years ago.

— After three days of spring training games, baseball is winning the public relations war with the new pitch clock rules; games have been 20-25 minutes shorter this spring, and announcers on broadcasts are selling the rule changes pretty well.

2) Ohio Valley Conference
3) West Coast Conference
4) Ivy League
5) AAC
6) Western Athletic Conference

Quote of the Day
“You’ve got to learn to love the boredom of practicing free throws.”
Steve Kerr

Wednesday’s quiz
In the movie A Star is Born, what well-known actor played Bradley Cooper’s brother?

Tuesday’s quiz
Trailblazers’ star Damian Lillard played his college basketball at Weber State.

Monday’s quiz
Stan Kroenke owns the Los Angeles Rams; he also owns Colorado Avalanche in the NHL and Denver Nuggets in the NBA.

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

Wednesday’s Den: Mid-week musings…….

— Boise State 66, San Diego State 60— Broncos outscored San Diego State 14-0 over final 4:48; huge win for Boise’s at-large hopes- they’re 13-3 in their last 16 games. Max Rice, the coach’s son, scored 26 points to lead the Broncos.

— Iowa 90, Indiana 68— Hawkeyes made 13-23 on arc, following up on their comeback win vs Michigan State over the weekend, when they scored 23 points in last 1:34 of regulation to force overtime.

— San Jose State 63, Colorado State 46— Spartans are 18-12; this is their best season since 1981. If they win at Air Force Saturday, San Jose gets its first-ever bye in Mountain West tourney.

— Boston College 71, Wake Forest 69— Bad loss for the Deacons; they’re 4-7 in their last 11 games, after a 14-5 start. BC has won three in row; they evened their record at 15-15.

Sun Belt tournament
— Arkansas State 86, Coastal Carolina 69— Red Wolves made 14-25 on the arc; they scored 52 points in second half. ASU won three of last four games, after a 1-13 skid; they play Troy State in the next round.

Horizon tournament
— Detroit 81, Fort Wayne 68— Antoine Davis scored 38 points, needs 26 more to become the all-time scoring leader in D-I history.

Pete Maravich- 3,667 points in 83 games
Antoine Davis- 3,642 points in 143 games, and still going.

Both players played for their dad in college.

— Charleston basketball coach Pat Kelsey signed a 5-year contract extension that will pay him $1.1M a year. Cougars are 28-3 this season, 45-17 in two years under Kelsey.

— I’m a big list maker; one thing on my list for next season in college basketball is adding the Atlantic Sun to the leagues we follow religiously. There are 32 D-I conferences; right now there are eight I mostly ignore; have to decide whether to keep following the OVC or just exchange the ASUN with them.

OVC has gone way downhill, with so many teams defecting; should consider adding the Big South, another conference that has surpassed the OVC.

Elsewhere……..
— If you’re a fan of the Showtime series Billions, there is very good news to report; Damian Lewis is returning to the show to play Bobby Axelrod this coming season.

Lewis left Billions after his wife in real life passed away two years ago; he is scheduled to return midway thru Season 7. The show was still good without him, but it was different, the conflicts a little forced. Axelrod is the main character of the show, so Damian Lewis’ return will invigorate the series, for sure.

— NFL announced that the Hall of Fame Game in Canton this summer is Jets-Browns; once you heard that Joe Klecko/Darrelle Revis were getting inducted, it made sense that the Jets would be in Canton that weekend.

— Half the NFL teams will have new offensive coordinators next year; 16 of 32 teams, which is the highest OC turnover since 2019.

— Atlanta Falcons saved $2M in salary cap space by cutting QB Marcus Mariota, who went 5-8 as a starter for Atlanta last year. His career NFL record is 35-41, 1-1 in playoff games.

— Buffalo Bills defensive coordinator Leslie Frazier is stepping away from football this coming season, expects to return in 2024. Whether that will be with Buffalo is still unclear.

— Over the last 10 years, amount of cornerbacks drafted in Rounds 1-3 from Power 5 conferences:
SEC— 36
Big 14— 20
ACC— 19
Pac-12— 19
Big X— 6

— This from NFL expert Warren Sharp:
WR Terry McLaurin has played four seasons with Washington; here are the QB’s he has played with, not exactly a Who’s Who of the position:

201 passes from Taylor Heinicke
98 from Dwayne Haskins
52 from Alex Smith
43 from Carson Wentz
41 from Case Keenum
31 from Kyle Allen
7 from Colt McCoy
6 from Sam Howell
4 from Garrett Gilbert

— Baseball injuries:
Dodgers’ IF Gavin Lux tore his ACL, is out for the year.
Rays’P Tyler Glasnow has an oblique injury, is out 6-8 weeks.
Padres’ P Joe Musgrove broke a toe in a weight-lifting accident.

— NBA injuries
Lakers’ Lebron James (foot) is out at least two weeks; he’ll be re-evaluated then.
Hornets’ LaMelo Ball broke his ankle in a non-contact injury.

— Welcome to March, one of the best months of the year.
