Tuesday’s 6-pack
Over/under win totals for baseball:
83.5— Royals
82.5— Reds
81.5— Giants
79.5— Diamondbacks, Pirates
78.5— Guardians
77.5— Rays

Quotes of the Day
“It’s surreal to hear my name in that group, but I can tell you that one thing that bonds us all together — those names and mine — is talent. You can’t win in this league without great players, and I was blessed from the day I took this job with incredible talent.”
Steve Kerr, after winning his 600th game as an NBA coach

Tuesday’s quiz
In the movie Bull Durham, what well-known actor played the Bulls’ pitching coach?

Monday’s quiz
Hall of Fame basketball player David Thompson led NC State to the 1974 national title, then scored 13,422 points in a nine-year pro career, scoring 22.7 ppg. He played most of his career with the Denver Nuggets.

Sunday’s quiz
Most people know that Alaska is the 49th state, Hawai’i the 50th state, it turns out that Arizona is the 48th state.

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

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

— Was sleeping around 9:30am last week, heard a weird sound outside; was worried the plumbing under our street was having more problems, so I went to see what was going on.
Instead, some guy was hammering a “For Sale” sign into my next door neighbor’s lawn; this was Wednesday, they were having an Open House on Saturday.
But the Open House never happened; apparently the house was sold on Friday, so I‘ll be getting new neighbors soon.

— When you fill out your brackets, don’t advance Alabama very far; Aden Holloway, their #2 scorer was thrown off the team after he was charged with first-degree possession of marijuana-not for personal use, which is a Class C felony, and failure to affix a tax stamp, also a felony.
Distractions are a huge red flag this time of year; Alabama plays tempo #4; over half the shots they take are 3’s, and Holloway was shooting 43.8% on the arc. Not good.

— Hofstra-Alabama is Friday in Tampa; Hofstra is 24-10, with no losses by more than 8 points. Crimson Tide is favored by 11.5 points.

— Saint Louis-Georgia is a matchup of teams who both like to run; Billikens play tempo #21, Georgia tempo #16. Total on this game Thursday night is a hefty 169.5.

— Nebraska is favored by 13 points in its first round game vs Troy; in its history, Cornhuskers are 0-8 in NCAA Tournament games, though they did win the Crown Tournament in Las Vegas last year.

— Seton Hall went 21-12 this year but missed out on the NCAA’s; they turned down a bid to the NIT, after winning the NIT two years ago.

— Butler coach Thad Matta retired this week, ending a 21-year career as a head coach. Matta was 502-223 in his career, making the Final Four twice with Ohio State.

— Famous birthdays, March 17th:
Cito Gaston, 82
Kurt Russell, 75
Gary Sinise, 71
Danny Ainge, 67
Sam Bowie, 65
Rob Lowe, 62
John Smiley, 61
Juan Lagares, 37
Cordarrelle Patterson, 35
Rhys Hoskins, 33

— Team USA 2, Dominican Republic 1
Gunnar Henderson, Roman Anthony homered for Team USA.
Five relievers got the last 14 outs, didn’t allow a run.
Junior Caminero homered for the Dominican Republic

— Venezuela 4, Italy 2
Venezuela scored three runs in 7th inning to advance to Tuesday’s final.
Venezuela’s bullpen got 23 outs, allowed only five baserunners, no runs.
Team USA-Venezuela play for the championship Tuesday night.

— The way the US-Dominican Republic game ended Sunday night will influence how teams deal with the ABS ball/strike challenge system. Game ended on an awful called strike 3 when the DR had men on base. Had the challenge system existed in the WBC, this called would’ve definitely been overturned.

Teams have to save one of their challenges for the late innings, just for stuff like this; if you lose a challenge early in the game, then you bite the bullet until the late innings, just so you don’t get hosed like Geraldo Perdomo did to end Sunday’s game.

— New Jersey Jets traded QB Justin Fields to Kansas City; in exchange they’re getting a 6th round pick in the 2027 draft. Star QB Patrick Mahomes tore his ACL in Week 15 last year; it is unclear whether he’ll be ready to go when training camp starts.
Fields is 16-37 as an NFL starter, playing for three teams in his five seasons. Gardner Minshew was the Chiefs’ backup QB, but he recently bolted to the Cardinals.

— Sounds like the NBA is going to expand in a couple years, with Seattle/Las Vegas the leading candidates to be where the expansion teams land. Heard a few years ago that when they put a team in Las Vegas, Lebron James will be part of the ownership group.

— Warriors 125, Wizards 117
Steve Kerr won his 600th game as a coach in his 943rd game, the 4th-fastest of any coach who has won 600+ games.

— I think the Selection Committee did an excellent job of picking the right 68 teams for the NCAA Tournament, but these are the four highest-rated teams that got left out.
Auburn, Cincinnati, Indiana, Oklahoma.

— NIT starts tonight; I would advise against wagering on first round NIT games, since it is tough to tell which teams are invested in extending their seasons. If you watch the first round games, you can get a better idea of who cares/who doesn’t.

Texas had a 45-33 edge on the boards.

— Last five years, favorites are 12-6 ATS in these Dayton play-in games.

— Indianapolis Colts signed Notre Dame basketball player Carson Towt, with the intent to try him out at tight end, much like they did with Mo Alie-Cox, who played hoop at VCU.

— Eastern Michigan hired Clemson assistant Billy Donlon as its new basketball coach; Donlon has previously coached at Wright State/Kansas City, going 155-133 over nine seasons.

— Was watching a spring training game; hitter on the Atlanta Braves challenged (and lost) the second pitch of the game. When the regular season starts next week, don’t think we’ll see any ball/strike challenges in the first inning.

Thursday’s 6-pack
Abraham Toro’s last six years in the major leagues:
2021- Astros/Mariners
2022- Mariners
2023- Brewers
2024- A’s
2025- Red Sox
2026- Royals

Quotes of the Day
“I’m an optimist by nature. So in baseball, to have things you can grab on to as you’re building, successes that you can be happy about, both individual and team when it’s not just about the major league team all the time — I missed all those things.”
Colorado Rockies’ president of baseball operations Paul DePodesta; he is the character Jonah Hill portrayed in Moneyball

Thursday’s quiz
Who is the only #1-seed who lost to a #16-seed in the NCAA Tournament?

Wednesday’s quiz
Dick Vitale coached the Detroit Pistons for 94 games from 1978-80, after he was 79-29 as a college coach at Detroit Mercy.

Tuesday’s quiz
In the movie Bull Durham, Robert Wuhl played the Bulls’ pitching coach.


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

Thursday’s Den: Welcome to my two favorite days of the year​

— There are seven teams who are in the top 25 in both eFG% and eFG% defense, which is something national champs have done recently.
Arizona
Duke
Florida
Houston
Iowa State
Louisville (best player is hurt)
Michigan

— I’m picking Arizona to win the national championship this year; in four years with the Wildcats, Tommy Lloyd hasn’t gotten Arizona to the Elite 8, but I think they’ll win the title this time around.

— Miami OH 89, SMU 79
Miami wins play-in game, shuts lot of people up.
Redhawks were 16-41 on the arc, scored 1.34 ppp
SMU lost six of its last seven games.
Miami advances to play Tennessee on Friday

— Prairie View 67, Lehigh 55
Panthers win their eighth game in a row.
Three guys on Prairie View played the whole game.
Dontae Horne was 11-22 shooting, had no assists.
Prairie View advances to play Florida on Friday

— Queens, Cal Baptist are only teams in this year’s NCAA Tournament who are in the Field of 68 for the first time.

— No team that lost their first conference tournament game has ever won a national title, which is bad news for Alabama, Illinois, Michigan State, Nebraska.

— There are 13 teams in this year’s tournament who have a head coach who is in his first year at that school- that seems like a lot.

— Last year, all four #1-seeds made the Final Four, only the second time that happened.

— Famous birthdays, March 19th:
Ursula Andress, 91
Glenn Close, 79
Mike Norris, 71
Bruce Willis, 71
Andre Miller, 50
Steve Gleason, 49
Clayton Kershaw, 38
EJ Manuel, 36

— Philadelphia Eagles are trading a 7th-round draft pick in next year’s draft to Carolina for 38-year old QB Andy Dalton, who started seven games in three years for the Panthers.

Eagles already have Jalen Hurts, Tanner McKee in their QB room; Dalton gives them more of a veteran presence. The trade saves Carolina $2.1M in salary cap space in 2026 and $4M in cash.

— Shaquille O’Neal must still be making a boatload of money; he does a lot of commercials.
NIT games

— Wake Forest 82, Navy 72
Deacons shot 73.1% inside the arc.
Navy finished 26-8; they won the Patriot League regular season title.
Think Tim Duncan/David Robinson had a bet on this game?

— Dayton 80, Bradley 66
Flyers led 47-30 at halftime.
Dayton won eight of its last ten games

— Illinois State 79, Kent State 58
Redbirds led 45-25 at halftime.
Kent State shot 32.8% from the floor.

— George Washington 79, Utah Valley 78
George Washington led by 16 early in 2nd half, hung on for the win.
Next: George Washington plays New Mexico in Albuquerque Sunday.

— Nevada 89, Murray State 75
Wolf Pack shot 57.7% inside the arc.
Nevada was +10 (15-5) in turnovers.

— California 91, Ill-Chicago 73
Cal shot 15-28 on the arc, scored 1.28 ppp
Chris Bell scored 31 points, shot 7-8 on the arc.

— New Mexico 107, Sam Houston 83
