NCAA Basketball Betting Lines

03/10/2010 - New York, NY (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Greg Monroe finished with 16 points and seven rebounds, as No. 22 Georgetown defeated South Florida, 69-49, in the second round of the Big East Tournament.

Jason Clark sank four three-pointers and finished with 16 points, while Chris Wright added 15 for the Hoyas (21-9), who will face top-seeded Syracuse on Thursday.

Georgetown had lost to USF in the only regular season matchup between the teams on November 3 at home. But the Hoyas limited the Bulls (20-12) to under 30 percent shooting Wednesday to get the win, their second in a row. Georgetown hadn't won two straight since early February.

Dominique Jones ended with 21 points to pace USF but shot just 6-of-18. Augustus Gilchrist added nine points and eight rebounds in the loss.

Gilchrist hit a jumper about five minutes into the game for a 6-4 USF lead, but Georgetown followed with a 17-3 run, which Julian Vaughn capped with two free throws for a 21-9 lead with five minutes to play in the half.

The Hoyas went into the break with a 31-19 advantage.

South Florida pulled within six several times early in the second half, including when Gilchrist's dunk had the Bulls down only 37-31. But Georgetown countered with a Hollis Thompson three and Wright jumper to restore a double- digit cushion.

Just past the midway point, Wright drained a three and Austin Freeman followed with a jumper to make it a 53-39 game with eight minutes left, and the Hoyas pulled away from there.

Game Notes

Freeman, in his second game since being diagnosed with diabetes, finished 3- for-12 for eight points and added four assists...Georgetown shot 45.8 percent, including 7-of-14 from three-point range...Georgetown lost both regular season matchups with the Orange.

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.
