Thursday?s 6-pack
NBA leaders in 3-pointers made this season:
285? Stephen Curry, GSt
262? Buddy Hield, Sac/Ind
242? Fred VanVleet, Tor
241? Evan Fournier, NYK
240? Malik Beasley, Minn
233? Trae Young, Atl

Quote of the Day
?We?ll just watch Tyreek (Hill) highlights.?
Miami Dolphins GM Chris Grier, when asked what he?ll do, without a first round pick in next week?s NFL Draft

Thursday?s quiz
Who was the basketball coach at Villanova before Jay Wright?
Hint: He is still a TV analyst for CBS College Sports

Wednesday?s quiz
Jerry West played his college basketball at West Virginia.

Tuesday?s quiz
In the movie Friday Night Lights, Billy Bob Thornton was the football coach at Permian High School.

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

Thursday?s Den: Doing some thinking out loud??.

13) Big news Wednesday night; Jay Wright has retired as Villanova?s basketball coach, after coaching the Wildcats for 21 years. He will replaced by Kyle Neptune, who went 16-16 in his one season coaching Fordham last year.

Wright is 60; he made four Final 4?s, won two national titles at Villanova. Neptune was an assistant at Villanova from 2013-21.

12) In this weird world of ours, the announcement raises questions:
? Does Wright want to coach in the NBA?
? Is Wright going to grab a TV gig?
? Is Wright?s health OK?
? Has the fact that college basketball is becoming a glorified version of AAU soured Wright on coaching college ball?

We?ll see how this plays out, but the best basketball program in the Big East just took a big hit.

11) Kentucky star Oscar Tshiebwe will be back in college next year, the first time since 2008 that the National Player of the Year returned to college the next season.

Tshiebwe scored 17.4 ppg, grabbed 15.1 rebounds/game last year, after transferring from West Virginia. There are rumblings on the Interweb that Tshiebwe?s NIL deal at Kentucky is worth around $2M, which would explain his decision to return.

10) Cardinals 2, Marlins 0:
? Sandy Alcantara has started four games against St Louis, the team that traded him to Miami four years ago. In those games, Alcantara allowed three earned runs in 27.1 IP, but he didn?t get any wins, because the Marlins don?t score lot of runs for him.
? Nolan Arenado hit a 2-run homer in the 9th inning, after Alcantara left the game.
? Was happy to hear Tommy Hutton back in the Marlins? broadcast booth.

9) Underrated baseball record: Ted Williams holds a record, reaching base in 84 consecutive games. No one ever talks about this, but that is over half a season. Impressive.

Since 2001, the longest such streak is 63 games, held by Orlando Cabrera, whose career on-base %age was only .321. Cabrera played 15 years in the majors for nine different teams.

Ted Williams? career on-base %age was .482, which is freakin? amazing.

8) Diamondbacks 11, Nationals 2:
? Arizona scored 22 runs in their first 12 games; they broke thru here with a big night.
? Seth Beer went 3-4 with three RBI for Arizona.
? Merrill Kelly allowed one run in six IP.

7) Celtics 114, Nets 107:
? Nets led by 17 at one point; they were outscored 59-42 in 2nd half.
? Celtics shot 63.6% inside the arc.
? Durant was 4-17 from floor, 18-20 on foul line.
? Boston leads series, 2-0.

6) 76ers 104, Raptors 101, OT:
? Embiid hit a fadeaway 3-pointer from left wing for the win.
? Toronto was up by 10 at halftime.
? Embiid had 33 points, 13 rebounds.
? 76ers now lead series 3-0.

5) Bulls 114, Bucks 110:
? Chicago led 63-49 at halftime.
? Caruso was +16 in 38:00; Bulls were minus-12 in 10:00 he sat out.
? All the subs in this game shot a combined 5-23 from the floor.
? Series heads to the Windy City 1-1.

4) Baseball trade: Cubs acquired LHP Sean Newcomb from Atlanta for RHP Jesse Chavez and cash. Newcomb has started 57 MLB games, none since 2020- he figures to start for the Cubs.

3) Pretty cool to see that Reds? 1B Joey Votto, who was born in Toronto, became an American citizen this winter.

2) Elon hired Iowa assistant Billy Taylor as its new basketball coach; Taylor has previously been head coach at Lehigh (2002-07), Ball State (2007-13).

1) Average starting field position in the NFL last year: 25.7 yard-line.
Average starting field position in Week 1 of the USFL: 32.7 yard-line.

In the USFL, they kick off from the 25-yard line, instead of the 35. Fewer touchbacks, better field position for the offense to start their drives.

Quote of the Day
?Daryle Lamonica was the perfect quarterback for the Raiders at that time. He wasn?t intruding on a team that was set, he eased into a team that was being built, a team that went to the Super Bowl that season, a team that was starting a tradition of success.?
The late John Madden, talking about QB Daryle Lamonica, who passed away this week, at age 80

Friday?s quiz
Other than the Seattle Mariners, which MLB team has gone the longest since they last made the playoffs?

Thursday?s quiz
Steve Lappas was the basketball coach at Villanova before Jay Wright.

Wednesday?s quiz
Jerry West played his college basketball at West Virginia.

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

Friday?s Den: Random stuff with weekend here??.

13) Memphis 104, Minnesota 95:
? Timberwolves led this game 47-21 in second quarter.
? Memphis went on 19-2 run in 4th quarter without Wolves calling a timeout.
? Minnesota five subs were a combined minus-41.
? Grizzlies lead this series, 2-1.

12) Dallas 126, Utah 118:
? Mavericks led 68-51 at halftime.
? Dallas snaps an 0-11 skid in Salt Lake City.
? Jalen Brunson scored 31 points for Dallas.
? Mavericks lead series, 2-1

11) Golden State 118, Denver 113:
? Curry scored 27 points in 31:00 off bench.
? Poole/Thompson shot a combined 19-31.
? Jokic had 37 points, 18 rebounds, 5 assists for Denver.
? Golden State leads series, 3-0

10) Listened to Stan Van Gundy broadcasting on TNT Tuesday night; it is like taking a master class in basketball coaching, every time he is on TV. No BS, he just talks ball all the time and you learn stuff. He isn?t afraid to criticize and that?s what makes an excellent analyst.

9) It is weird watching a basketball game where neither team wears white or gold uniforms; in Game 2 of their series with the Nets, Celtics wore green uniforms, Brooklyn wore black. Why?

I?m superstitious, by the way; Celtics wore black uniforms in Game 1. If it was my decision and we won in Game 1 wearing black uniforms, we?d sure as hell wear black in Game 2, also.

8) This is a random fact, where A is true, B is true. Unclear if C is because of A and B

A? Last 13 times Chris Paul played a game, with??.
B? Scott Foster as one of the officials
C? Chris Paul?s team lost.

There are three refs in NBA games, so doubtful that one guy would have that much influence, but Chris Paul?s team was favored in eight of those 13 games.

7) Speaking of Chris Paul, his teammate Devin Booker is out 2-3 weeks with a hamstring injury and Milwaukee?s Khris Middleton will miss the rest of the Chicago series with an injury.

6) NFL releases its 2022 schedule on May 12, so the next few days after that, this space will be filled with NFL knowledge.

5) Northern Iowa star AJ Green is in the transfer portal, with about 1,400 other kids; sounds like he will head to Iowa State, where his father is an assistant coach.

4) Last year?s baseball season was first time in 15 years that the strikeout rate decreased from the previous season.

3) Green Bay Packers have 11 picks in next week?s NFL Draft; I?m guessing a couple of those will be receivers, to give Aaron Rodgers some new targets.

2) Back in December, basketball great Bill Russell had an auction house put up 429 items of his memorabilia up for bid, with a percentage of the proceeds benefitting two charities in the Boston area. The items wound up selling for a combined $7.4M; Russell has/had a lot of unique stuff.

? Russell?s first NBA championship ring sold for $705,000.
? His 1956 Olympic gold medal went for $587,500.

This Friday, a second auction, this time an online auction will take place, including a game-worn Celtics jersey and warm-up jacket from the 1960s. There will also be some items up for bid from Red Auerbach?s personal collection.

Interesting to see that the memorabilia business is still alive and well.

1) A?s 6, Orioles 4? Baseball season is two weeks old; somehow, Oakland is 8-6, despite having a roster that resembles the Cleveland Indians in the movie Major League.

Flash back to 1978; I was 18 years old and the A?s had a worse roster than they do now, but as late as August 7, Oakland was 60-54 and only five games out of first place, back when there were only four divisions and it was harder to make the playoffs than it is now.

Then the roof fell in, I mean things got ugly. A?s went 9-39 the rest of the way, paving the way for that fabulous 54-108 season in 1979. Baseball is hard enough when you?re trying to win, when you tank and field a poor team, the grind of 162 games in 182 days will get to you eventually.

Not to be a pessimist, but this isn?t a movie, where the good guys most always win; that said, I?d be the happiest guy in America to be wrong about that.
