NCAA Basketball Betting Lines

Wake Forest led 7-4 early and then 12-10 just before the midway point of the first half, before the Seminoles unleashed a 15-6 run that provided a 25-18 margin on Snaer's triple with 3:41 to go before intermission.

 

Game Notes

 

Stillwater, OK (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Le'Bryan Nash kept rising up and firing from beyond the arc, and as each shot went down, the anticipation of an upset grew larger at Gallagher-Iba Arena. Nash hit three treys and scored 14 points during a late, game-changing 17-4 run as Oklahoma State shocked No. 2 Missouri, 79-72.

 

Ricardo Ratliffe had a double-double with 25 points and 12 rebounds for the Tigers (18-2, 5-2), who were coming off an emotional high with an 89-88 victory over then No. 3 Baylor on Saturday. Missouri had its four-game winning streak snapped.

 

Syracuse, NY (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Tiffany Hayes drained six three-pointers en route to a career-high 35 points and ripped down seven rebounds as third- ranked Connecticut blew past Syracuse, 95-54 on Wednesday.

Leading 40-33 after the first 20 minutes, UConn came out on fire in the second half, ripping off a 25-7 run to take a comfortable 65-40 lead with 12 1/2 minutes to play.

 

The game remained close early before Syracuse built an 18-11 advantage with less than 14 minutes to play in the opening half.

 

UConn responded with a 9-0 run, capped by a Hayes layup, to take a 20-18 lead with under 12 minutes to play in the first half.

 

Des Moines, IA (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Doug McDermott netted a game-high 30 points on 10-of-14 from the floor to go with nine rebounds as No. 15 Creighton topped Drake, 77-69, on Wednesday.

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.
