Illinois upends Lucas-less MSU

NCAA Basketball Betting Lines

02/07/2010 - Champaign, IL (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Demetri McCamey posted 22 points and 11 assists, as Illinois held on to upend fifth-ranked Michigan State, 78-73, at Assembly Hall.

Mike Davis added 16 points for the Illini (16-8, 8-3 Big Ten) and got a piece of a potential game-tying three in the closing moments. D.J. Richardson provided 14 points as Illinois won its fourth consecutive game.

Draymond Green had 17 points and 16 boards for the Spartans (19-5, 9-2), who were playing without leading scorer Kalin Lucas because of an ankle injury he suffered in Tuesday's loss at Wisconsin.

Chris Allen added 15 points and Durrell Summers had 11 in the loss.

In a tie game inside the final two minutes, Illinois took the lead on a layup by Brandon Paul with 1:19 to go, though Paul missed the subsequent free throw. After a turnover by each team, McCamey drained a three with 39 ticks left to boost the Illini lead to 73-68.

Michigan State battled back, though. First Green was in the right place at the right time to tip in a ball, and after Richardson sank 1-of-2 at the line, Summers' three with 17 seconds left got the Spartans within 74-73.

Richardson was then fouled and sank both attempts for a three-point game, but Summers had the ball with a chance to tie. However, Davis played tight defense and got a fingertip on the ball, which never made it to the rim. Davis then slammed at the other end to seal the win.

The Illini jumped out to a 14-4 lead, but the Spartans followed with a run of their own, and Isaiah Dahlman's layup with 11:51 left in the half made it a 16-16 game.

Illinois edged back out in front, though Austin Thornton's jumper at the buzzer got MSU within 35-34 at the break.

The second half was back-and-forth, as each team held the lead. Raymar Morgan sank two free throws with 1:44 left to make it a 68-68 contest.

Game Notes

Super Bowl XLIII Betting - Super Bowl 2009

Super Bowl 2009, the Arizona Cardinals and the Pittsburgh Steelers.

Let’s take a look at the Super Bowl 2009 betting odds and the betting line and figure out where they’ve been and where they are going to go.

MySportsbook.com put up the Super Bowl 2009 betting odds late on Sunday night with the Pittsburgh Steelers favored by 6.5 points and a total betting line at 47.5 points.

Since then, however, the Super Bowl 2009 betting odds have seen a good deal of movement and you’ll want to be on top of where they are likely to move to make sure you get the best line value for the big game.

Since opening, the Super Bowl 2009 betting lines went to Steelers -7 in the span of roughly 3 hours but were quickly bought back down just minutes later to 6.5 again.

After that is took about 5-6 more hours before the betting line went back to -7 where it has sat for a while now and is likely to remain. The opening betting total of 47.5 was bet down right after the line became available and went to 47 within minutes.

Roughly a day later it has been bet even further down to the 46.5 tally it currently is set at.

Roughly 60% of gamblers seem to be on the Cardinals here so the point spread will be bet down and a 7.5 would not last very long at all with many taking the early 6.5 in hopes of finding a potential middle in the Super Bowl 2009 betting odds.

If you like Arizona and see a 7.5, I’d take it as soon as possible because it’s unlikely to last. For Pittsburgh backers, the -7 might be the best you’ll be able to find but a 6.5 is definitely possible close to game time.

Regarding the Super Bowl 2009 betting odds for the total, most tracked gamblers are already on the over and with those who took the under 47.5 already securing a middle on the over 46.5, the only way I see it moving is back up to 47 so if you like the over, I’d recommend betting now.
