NCAA Basketball Betting Lines
02/11/2012 -
Princeton, NJ (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Harvard's unbeaten mark in the Ivy League
came to a halt Saturday night against a team they haven't solved on the road
in more than 23 years.
Ian Hummer scored 20 points, pulled down nine rebounds and had six assists, as
Princeton knocked off the No. 25 Crimson, 70-62, for the Tigers' first win
over a ranked team in the Jadwin Gym in more than 35 years.
T.J. Bray added 12 points for the Tigers (13-10, 4-3 Ivy), who recorded their
first win over a ranked team since December 19, 1997 when the Tigers beat No.
23 Wake Forest at The Meadowlands. Princeton was ranked No. 19 in that same
poll. Before Saturday, the last time Princeton topped an AP ranked squad
in the Jadwin Gym was on January 3, 1977 when the Tigers beat No. 2 Notre
Dame.
Princeton's 23-game home winning streak against Harvard is its longest against
any Ivy League rival. Harvard last won in Jadwin on February 3, 1989.
Brendan Connolly tallied 11 points, while Denton Koon and Mack Darrow both
scored 10 for the Tigers.
Keith Wright had 16 points and 12 rebounds for Harvard (21-3, 7-1), which had
a nine-game winning streak snapped.
This was the first time the schools were meeting since Princeton nipped
Harvard, 63-62, in a one-game playoff to win the Ivy League last year.
Corbin Miller's three-pointer boosted Harvard to a 25-18 lead with 3:22 left
in the opening half, and the visitors held a 27-22 advantage at the
intermission.
Bray gave Princeton the lead for good by sinking a jumper with 5:14 left for a
48-46 difference. His two free throws later capped a 7-0 spurt for a 59-49
margin with 2:05 to play.
Brandyn Curry, who scored 15, hit a layup to get Harvard within 61-57 with
53.3 seconds to go, but the Tigers made enough free throws down the stretch,
and the fans stormed the court when the final buzzer sounded.
Game Notes
Kyle Casey had 12 points and eight rebounds for Harvard, which shot 44.6
percent...The Tigers made half of their 50 shots and held a 20-10 advantage in
bench points...Princeton has lost only four times to Harvard since the
1999-2000 season.

Albert Pujols to be This Year's Home Run Champ Says Online Sportsbook
Barry Bonds is a 50-1 long shot to be this year's home run champ odds. The favorite to be this year's home run champ is none other than Albert Pujols, however.
Now that Barry Bonds is signed and in Giants camp, it is on to his pursuit of all of sports most prestigious records: the all-time home run mark. Bonds sits just 21 homers shy of tying Hank Aaron for the career mark at 755. Word out of Giants’ camp is that Bonds is the healthiest he has been in a few years. Bonds is just two seasons removed from his injury riddled 2005 campaign where he played in only 14 games and hit only 5 home runs. He did come back last year and had a solid season hitting .270 with 26 bombs. All eyes will be on Bonds this spring and summer not only because of his home run chase but his highly publicized steroid abuse allegations. If and when Bonds breaks the record, he surely will not get the positive attention one should for breaking a record that was once thought of as “unbreakable”. Despite Bonds decent season last year, he is just 50-1 at MySportsbook.com to lead the MLB in long balls this season.
Not surprisingly, the favorites to go deep the most times this season are Albert Pujols 5-1, Ryan Howard 6-1, David Ortiz 8-1 and Alex Rodriguez 12-1. With 49 homers, Pujols finished second in the National League behind Howard (58). Pujols is considered the favorite due to the consistent power numbers that he has posted since breaking into the league in 2001. Also one must consider the fact that he played in 16 fewer games then Howard did due to an injury. Howard smashed 58 homers in his first complete season of big league play en route to the National League MVP odds award. He silenced his critics by successfully hitting left-handed pitching. Howard also displayed the ability to use his power to the opposite field. Two attributes which should keep Howard amongst the league leaders in long balls for years to come. From the American League representatives, David Ortiz leads the field. Ortiz was second in the majors last year with 54 home runs. Except for 1999 when he only played in 10 games, Ortiz has improved on his home run numbers each year he has been in the majors (1997).

Will Ohio State continue to run the table in College Football betting odds?
MySportsbook.com favors Buckeyes, Fighting Irish and Golden Bears in this weekend's big games.
NEW YORK, NY, Sept. 21 - My Sportsbook NCAA football fans: things are beginning to get really interesting on college football's national stage. Following last weekend's "Separation Saturday", which included five teams ranked in the top 15 dropping games, the BCS Championship picture is beginning to take shape - with Ohio State leading the charge. And, according to odds makers at MySportsbook.com, the number-one-ranked Buckeyes will continue their winning ways this weekend.
Revenge will be the name of the game in Columbus this Saturday, as Ohio State looks to even the score following last season's loss to Joe Paterno's Nittany Lions. Although Penn State are listed as 16.5 point underdogs, they are 11-10 all-time versus the Buckeyes. Paterno and the Lions, however, will have to shut down Heisman Trophy favorite Troy Smith who has thrown for 769 yards and seven touchdowns this season.
Speaking of revenge, Notre Dame will be out for some against Michigan State, following last year's 44 - 41 overtime loss to the Spartans in South Bend. The thirteenth-ranked Irish, listed as a 3-point favorite, will also be looking to avenge last Saturday's thrashing from the Michigan Wolverines. The Spartans, meanwhile, have won seven of the last nine match-ups against Notre Dame and are coming off an impressive 38-23 victory over Pittsburgh.
Out west, 22nd-ranked Arizona State will be battling for their first victory over 21st-ranked California since 2000. Although the Golden Bears are listed as 7.5-point favorites, the Sun Devils are 3-0, lead the nation in sacks with 18 and possess the Pac-10's leading passer in sophomore quarterback Rudy Carpenter.
