NCAA Basketball Betting Lines
02/22/2012 - Bloomington, IN (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - The 23rd-ranked Indiana Hoosiers host the NC Central Eagles tonight to end their non-conference slate at Assembly Hall.
Tonight will be the third encounter between Indiana and the Eagles. The Hoosiers hold a 2-0 lead in the series after their 72-56 victory on Nov. 23rd, 2010.
NC Central comes in with a 14-12 overall record and an 8-5 mark in MEAC play. The Eagles are coming off a 71-66 victory over North Carolina A&T on Saturday, in which they hit 48.8 percent of their field goals. NC Central has not played a ranked opponent yet this season, but it is 0-3 against BCS Conference programs (Wake Forest, NC State, and Oregon). LeVelle Moton is in his third season with the Eagles and has a 36-49 overall record with the program.
The Eagles will look to Dominique Sutton and Ray Willis to power the upset tonight. Sutton is leading the team with 16.3 points and 7.6 rebounds per game while connecting on 59.5 percent of his shots from the floor. Willis is contributing 15.8 points and 5.7 boards per game. Emanuel Chapman is a very good distributor as he is handing out 5.6 assists per contest.
Tom Crean's Hoosiers come in with a 20-7 overall record after their 78-66 setback against Iowa on Sunday. Indiana's loss snapped a three-game winning streak. The Hoosiers are 12-0 in non-conference action this season and boast an impressive 15-1 mark at Assembly Hall. Indiana's offense is very adept, as it nets 78.0 ppg, which is the 21st best average in the nation. The Hoosiers are allowing opponents to score 66.3 ppg.
Indiana's balanced attack is led by Cody Zeller, who averages team-highs of 15.6 points and 6.6 rebounds per game. Zeller is extremely efficient as he is connecting on 64.4 percent of his field goals. Christian Watford, Jordan Hulls, and Victor Oladipo are all contributing double-digit scoring averages for the Hoosiers as well. Oladipo and Zeller led the team with 15 points versus Iowa on Sunday.

Brandon Roy Favorite to Win 2007 NBA Rookie of the Year
Portland TrailBlazer’s guard, Brandon Roy, is MySportsbook.com’s overwhelming favorite to win the NBA Rookie of the Year odds.
Despite missing 20 games due to an injury earlier this season, Roy has definitely put up the best numbers of his 1st year peers. In 32 games, Roy is averaging 15.3 PPG, 4.2 boards and 3.5 assists in over 33 minutes of play per game. While most rookies breakdown as the season progresses (see Morrison), Roy is only getting stronger as his playing time and scoring average has increased each month.
With 30 or so games left in the regular season, Roy isn’t a lock for the award by any means. Other rookies are putting together some pretty impressive campaigns and a few could give Roy a run for the award with increased playing time. Heading the list is first pick, Andrea Bargnani of the Toronto Raptors. Even though he has started only two games all season, Bargnani is averaging 10.3 PPPG while shooting 35% from deep.
Randy Foye of the Minnesota Timberwolves could be set to give Roy the best competition NBA Rookie of the Year betting lines. With the benching of Mike James, Foye looks like he could be the starter in the T-Wolves backcourt for the rest of the season. So far, Foye has averaged 9 PPG and 2.4 assists in just under 21 minutes per game. With his new role of starter, Foye’s numbers will definitely increase. In his first game as the new starting guard this past Sunday, Foye had 10 points; five rebounds and 8 assists. More importantly, he logged 34 minutes of playing time; his third highest run of the season.
Adam Morrison, of the Charlotte Bobcats, was the favorite early on in the season after averaging 15+ PPG through the first month of the season. Ever since his torrid start, Morrison’s point production has declined each month. This really isn’t surprising, considering at 6’8” he only weighs 205 lbs. Obviously he will need to hit the weights big time during the off-season in order to keep from breaking down in the future.

New York, NY – October 3, 2007 – The dress rehearsal is over! The NHL preseason has ended and now that fans have had a glimpse of what is to come it is time to hit the book! Stanley Cup odds are live at MySportsbook.com, the world’s largest online sportsbook and casino.
The Ottawa Senators and Detroit Red Wings remain on top of the odds charts after an impressive start in the preseason. Betting lines opened for both teams at 6-1 in June. Since then the Sens have fallen to 7-1 and the Red Wings are now caught in a pack including the defending champion Carolina Hurricanes, the San Jose Sharks and the Anaheim Ducks, all at 10-1.
MySportsbook.com has also posted props on each team’s point total for the regular season. The Senators lead the charge at 108.5 followed by the Ducks at 106.5. Detroit will attempt a repeat for the prize as the Red Wings are deadlocked with the Predators at 104.5 a piece. The temporary loss of highly touted rookie Evgeni Malkin puts a lot of pressure on the stick of assistant captain Sidney Crosby - his lowly Pittsburgh Penguins are listed at 71.5.
Even if bettors are not brave enough to put their money on the underdog, an early bet on the favorites at sportsbook.com tends to produce bigger payouts than a mid-season wager. Placing a $1,000 bet last summer on the Detroit Red Wings or Ottawa Senators would have paid out to $8,000 and $10,000 respectively, opposed to a $2,500 or $3,000 payout at the beginning of the playoffs.
