NCAA Basketball Betting Lines

02/09/2009 - Columbia, MO (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Zaire Taylor hit the game-winning jumper with 1.3 seconds left to help 17th-ranked Missouri deal No. 16 Kansas its first conference loss of the season with a 62-60 victory over the Jayhawks.

Taylor finished with seven points for the Tigers (21-4, 8-2 Big 12), who have won four straight games. DeMarre Carroll chipped in 22 points and seven rebounds while Leo Lyons scored 13 points in the triumph.

Tyshawn Taylor scored 11 points for the Jayhawks (19-5, 8-1), who saw their eight-game win streak halted. Sherron Collins, Mario Little and Travis Releford each gave nine points in defeat, and Cole Aldrich totaled eight points and a game-best 15 boards.

Trailing by three late in the contest, J.T. Tiller was fouled and hit 1-of-2 at the stripe to cut it to 58-56.

Following an 0-for-2 performance by Collins at the line, Lyons was fouled going for a dunk and hit both to tie it at 58 with 90 ticks left to play.

Collins then missed a layup which led to Tiller draining a jumper to give the Tigers the lead, 60-58. Little, though, nailed a jumper at the other end to tie it with 29 seconds showing on the clock.

Following a timeout, Lyons hit Zaire Taylor who drove the lane, found his spot on the right wing, pump-faked and dropped in a jumper with the ball bounding high off the rim before falling through to give the Tigers the lead with 1.3 seconds left.

Kansas still had time and launched the ball downcourt to Aldrich, whose last- second effort failed to drop in.

Carroll's layup gave the Tigers an 11-10 lead with just under 12 minutes left in the first half.

However, Collins responded with a layup of his own to set the tone for a 12-2 Jayhawks surge. Tyrel Reed closed it out with a three-pointer to give the visitors a 22-13 advantage with 7:59 showing on the clock.

Kansas kept pushing and eventually opened a 30-16 lead at the break. Missouri hadn't scored fewer than 18 points in any half this season.

Kim English scored the first four points of the second half igniting a 10-4 Tigers run that got the home team back within 34-26 just over three minutes in to the second half.

Then, down by 11 late in the game, Carroll's layup sparked an 8-0 run that cut it to 54-51. English kept it going with a layup before Carroll scored the next five points to close out the run with 5:37 left.

Game Notes

Kansas still owns a 166-94 series lead over Missouri, and the Jayhawks won both meetings a year ago...Both schools had shooting woes over the first 20 minutes, as Kansas was 12-of-33 (36.4 percent) from the field and 2-of-12 (16.7 percent) from three-point range. Missouri hit 7-of-29 (24.1 percent) from the field and went 1-for-10 (10 percent) from behind the arc...The Jayhawks play at Kansas State on Saturday while the Tigers host Nebraska on Saturday.

NFL Football Sports Betting

Two playoff teams from 2007 take center stage on the NFL Network Sunday night in a Week 2 NFL betting match-up when the (0-1) New England Patriots betting head south to Florida for a contest with the (1-0) Tampa Bay Buccaneers.

New England HC Bill Belichick couldn’t care less about the way his team plays in the preseason. With a chance to tie last week’s game with the Baltimore Ravens betting, He elected to go for the two-point conversion and outright victory. The conversion failed, and the Pats ended up falling to the Ravens by a 16-15 final count.

New England rolled off twelve unanswered points to give it a chance at securing the victory, but it never threatened to cover the 3.5-point spread. NFL bettors saw this one coming, as they bet the Ravens down from +6 to +3.5 as the week progressed. QB Tom Brady didn’t take part in the Patriots first preseason clash, but could see action this weekend.

His three replacements all put up embarrassing numbers. They went a combined 17 for 33, and threw three interceptions and no touchdowns. The New England defense was encouraging, as they held the Ravens to 2/12 third down conversions and surrendered just ten first downs. That ‘D’ should be bolstered with the addition of former Bucs and Denver Broncos betting safety John Lynch, who could make his Patriots debut on Sunday against his former mates.

HC Jon Gruden had to be impressed with the way his Bucs played on both sides of the ball in their dominating 17-6 victory over the Miami Dolphins in Week 1’s NFL pre-season betting action. Bucs bettors were quite happy with the effort, as they made a mockery of the fact that they were underdogs in the game.

The logjam at the quarterback position didn’t get any easier to separate for Gruden, as all four of his QBs had positive experiences in the first exhibition of 2008. The four combined to complete 28 of their 40 passes for 204 yards and a touchdown, and that was without starting QB Jeff Garcia in the lineup.

RB Michael Bennett had 19 carries and four receptions, totaling 90 yards and a touchdown. Expect to see more of Bennett, Kenneth Darby, and Earnest Graham, as they all compete for playing time with Warrick Dunn in the backfield this season. Defensively, the Bucs recorded four sacks and held the Fins offense in check all day.

First round draft pick Aqib Talib was impressive in the secondary, recording a tackle and two pass defenses in his debut. Don’t be surprised to see Talib in the starting lineup opposite Ronde Barber for the Bucs in ’08.

The betting trends suggest that NFL bettors should be backing the Bucs in this intra-conference exhibition.

These two teams hooked up last year in Tampa Bay, with the Bucs winning that game 13-10. The Buccaneers have only lost one preseason game at home dating back to the beginning of the ’05 preseason. The Patriots have had a mixed bag of results in their recent exhibitions. They have gone 2-2 ATS and SU each of the last three years.

New England currently sits as modest 1-point favorites in this preseason showdown with the ‘total’ now sitting at 34.5.
