Wildcats invade Lincoln to take on Cornhuskers

NCAA Basketball Betting Lines

02/02/2010 - Lincoln, NE (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - The 10th-ranked Kansas State Wildcats head out to the road for two straight games, starting tonight in Lincoln, when they take on the Nebraska Cornhuskers in Big 12 action at the Devaney Center.

The Wildcats are coming off a near miss of another major victory on Saturday, falling 81-79 in overtime to now top-ranked Kansas. KSU had been a perfect 4-0 versus Top 25 teams, including an upset of No.1 Texas, prior to suffering its second loss in three games on Saturday. The Wildcats are still a healthy 17-4 overall, as they now begin a six-game stretch against teams located in the bottom half of the Big 12.

Speaking of the cellar, that is exactly where the Huskers reside with a 1-5 record in Big 12 action. Nebraska however, is coming off its first Big 12 win, a 63-46 thumping of Oklahoma on Saturday. The triumph ended a five-game slide and improved the Huskers to 13-8 overall and 11-2 at home.

As for the all-time series, KSU leads Nebraska 123-93 after the teams split a pair of meetings a season ago.

In a game that featured 20 lead changes and 14 ties, it was KSU that fell short against Kansas, 81-79, on Saturday. Jacob Pullen paced the Wildcats in defeat with 22 points and five assists, while Denis Clemente had 13 points. For the season, Pullen tops the roster in scoring at 19.3 ppg and he also dishes out 3.5 apg and shoots 41.8 percent from beyond the arc. Clemente has provided a nice complement to Pullen and he checks in with 14.6 ppg and a team-best 4.0 apg. Jamar Samuels adds 11.1 ppg and 4.9 rpg off the bench, and Curtis Kelly tacks on 11.1 ppg and a team-high 6.3 rpg for the Wildcats.

The Huskers notched their first Big 12 win behind stingy defense, as they forced 15 turnovers and held Oklahoma to a lackluster 34.9 percent shooting effort from the floor in a 63-46 decision on Saturday. Offensively, Brandon Richardson led the way with 16 points, while Ryan Anderson had 11. Anderson, the team's leading rebounder (5.0 rpg), is the lone player on the roster currently averaging in double figures, with 10.7 ppg. Richardson chips in with 8.9 ppg for the Huskers, who are limiting foes to 60.2 ppg for the season.

Football Betting: Defensive Rookie of the Year Awards

Oddsmakers have released the odds for the 2009 AP NFL Defensive Rookie of the Year Award and Seattle Seahawks linebacker Aaron Curry has been made the opening favorite.

Bet on NFL Football

Seattle took Curry with the fourth overall pick in April's NFL draft and plan on inserting him into its starting lineup right away. The Hawks traded linebacker Julian Peterson in the offseason, so Curry is expected to have a significant role in Seattle's defense next year and that's one of the primary reasons he is the favorite to win the NFL ROY Award.

Oddsmakers from online sportsbook MySportsbook.com have made Curry a 5/1 favorite to win this year's NFL Defensive Rookie of the Year Award. Given that he was the best defensive prospect in this year's draft and how he'll have plenty of opportunities to make plays in '09, Curry offers a ton of value at 5/1.

Another thing working for Curry is the position he plays. A linebacker has won the defensive ROY award six straight times and eight of the last nine years. Jerod Mayo, Patrick Willis, DeMeco Ryans, Shawne Merriman, Jonathan Vilma, Terrell Suggs, Kendrell Bell and Brian Urlacher were the most recent linebackers to take home the award.

Following Curry at 5/1 are Tyson Jackson (Chiefs) at 7/1, James Laurinaitas (Rams) at 8/1, Brian Orakpo (Redskins) at 10/1, Rey Maualuga (Bengals) at 10/1 and Jerry Peria (Falcons) at 10/1.

All the players mentioned above are expected to start for their respective teams, but Jackson and Peria are going to have a tough time being recognized on a national level given they're both defensive linemen. D-linemen rarely put up the numbers that it takes to win an individual award like the ROY.

A couple of players with some value are Clay Matthews (Packers) at 12/1 and Larry English (Chargers) at 15/1. Matthews is expected to start at outside linebacker in Green Bay's new 3-4 defense and could rack up a ton of tackles. English, who was an impressive player at Northern Illinois, is expected to be a situational pass rusher for the Chargers and could rack up a ton of sacks.

MySportsbook.com: NBA Championship Odds

With the playoffs about two months away, the top two teams in the Western Conference are the clear cut leaders to win the NBA Championship. The Dallas Mavericks have the best record in the NBA (44-9) and have been absolutely scorching since the second week of the season.  What makes the Mavs’ record more impressive is the fact that they dropped their first four games of the season.  Currently they have won 17 out of their last 18 and are MySportsbook.com’s favorite (2-1) to win it all.  Right behind the Mavs are the Pacific leading Phoenix Suns (39-13).  Last season, the Suns lost in the Conference Finals to non-other then the Mavericks four games to two.  Of course the Suns were without center Amare Stoudemire who has is averaging 19.9 PPG and 9.5 RPG since coming back from his knee injury.  Unlike the Mavs, the Suns have struggled a bit lately having lost their last three and four out of their last seven.  Of course the main reason for their three straight loses is due to the absence of two time MVP Steve Nash, who is out with a shoulder injury.  Heads-up, the Mavs have beaten the Suns in both of their meetings this season.

In the Eastern Conference, the Pistons (32-19) are the favorites to win it all at 6-1. The addition of Chris Webber seems to have been a good move for the Pistons.  Since coming over from the 76ers, Webber has averaged 13.1 PPG and 7.3 RPG and the Pistons are 11-4.  Even though the defending champion Heat are currently on the playoff making cusp, they are the Eastern Conference team that is getting the most action to win it all (9-1).  The fact that Shaquille O’Neal is back in the starting lineup after missing 39 games probably has something to do with this.  No doubt, Shaq makes a difference when in the lineup as their winning six out of their last seven would indicate.

Just because it is the All-Star break doesn’t mean that you can’t bet on NBA hoops this weekend.  Be sure to log onto MySportsbook.com to bet on who you think will cut down the nets this July.
