Pullen's shooting prowess pushes K-State into Sweet 16

NCAA Basketball Betting Lines

03/20/2010 - Oklahoma City, OK (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Jacob Pullen scored a career-high 34 points, and Kansas State gained energy from a late first-half run to beat BYU, 84-72, in a second-round game from the West Region in the NCAA Tournament.

Denis Clemente added 19 points, and Curtis Kelly scored 10 for the second- seeded Wildcats (28-7), who advanced to Salt Lake City to play in the Sweet 16 against the winner of Sunday's game between third seed Pittsburgh and sixth seed Xavier. Pullen, who made all 11 of his foul shots, went 7-of-12 from three-point range.

This is the best showing for Kansas State in the tourney since losing to in- state rival Kansas in a regional final in 1988. Incidentally, the Wildcats are the last team remaining from the Sunflower State, as the Kansas Jayhawks, the top overall seed, were upset by Northern Iowa on Saturday.

Jimmer Fredette had 21 points for the seventh-seeded Cougars (30-6), who haven't won two games in a single NCAA Tournament year since 1981, when they fell to Virginia in a regional final. Tyler Haws had 14 points, and Jackson Emery 13 in defeat.

Coming into this year, BYU had lost eight straight NCAA Tournament games. After defeating No. 10 seed Florida in a thrilling double-overtime game on Thursday, BYU scored the first 10 points against the Wildcats but gave up the lead late in the first half and never recovered.

Emery hit consecutive three-pointers for a 10-0 BYU lead, but the Wildcats pushed back and used a 12-2 spurt to take their first lead of the night. Clemente had the first five points of the burst, which was capped by Pullen's three-ball with 4 1/2 minutes left for a 28-27 advantage.

Brandon Davies sank a layup to put BYU ahead again, but K-State scored the ensuing 10 points, with Pullen responsible for eight of them. He outscored BYU all by himself, 14-8, over the last five minutes of the half, as the Wildcats gained a 41-31 margin.

A Pullen three-pointer moved the lead to 50-40 inside 16 minutes, but the Cougars closed the gap to 55-50 with nearly 11 minutes left on a layup from Michael Loyd Jr. BYU never got any closer.

The Cougars still had hope inside four minutes left by trimming the margin to 68-61 on a pair of Fredette foul shots, but Pullen drilled another three-ball and then made a nifty no-look pass for a breakaway layup from Dominique Sutton for a 73-61 cushion with about two minutes left.

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.
