NCAA Basketball Betting Lines
12/06/2006 -
New York, NY (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - JamesOn Curry scored 20 points, including the
final five for Oklahoma State, as the 22nd-ranked Cowboys bested the No. 21
Syracuse Orange, 72-68, in the first game of the Jimmy V Classic at Madison
Square Garden.
Mario Boggan had 21 points and eight rebounds while Obi Muonelo netted 11 for
the Cowboys (10-0), who are off to their best start since 2001-02.
Demetris Nichols donated a game-high 26 points and Terrence Roberts chipped in
14 points and also pulled down seven rebounds for the Orange (7-2), who have
lost two straight games. Paul Harris added 11 points for Syracuse, which
turned the ball over 23 times.
Roberts' layup with nearly 7 1/2 minutes remaining pulled Syracuse within
58-54, but the Cowboys reeled off a nine straight points, as Marcus Dove
showed off two highlight reel dunks, extending the lead to 67-54 with almost
four minutes to play.
The Orange didn't give up and used their full-court press and 3-2 zone defense
to create turnovers and fought back with an 12-0 spurt, culminating with a
Harris layup, pulling within 67-66 with 49 ticks on the clock.
Curry, though, drained a three with 22.5 seconds left before missing the front
end of a one-and-one. Harris then hit a pair at the charity stripe with 6.3
remaining before Curry sealed the win with two from the line.
Trailing 9-6, Syracuse netted eight of the next 10 points, including four
straight points from Roberts to begin the spurt, for a 14-11 lead.
However, the Cowboys countered with eight unanswered, highlighted by Curry's
trey, to move in front 19-14.
Josh Wright's three put the Orange up 25-23, but Oklahoma State went on a 14-7
burst, capped by Muonelo three-pointer, for a 37-32 margin.
Curry and Boggan combined to shoot 10-of-15 from the field, totaling 25
points, as the Cowboys led 39-34 at the half.
Syracuse came out running to begin the second half, tallying eight of the
first 12 points, showcased by Roberts' fast-break slam dunk, cutting the
deficit to 43-42.
Leading 45-44, Oklahoma State used an 11-2 surge, including four points apiece
from Muonelo and David Monds, to push the score to 56-46. The Orange wet 6:40
without scoring to add fuel to the run.

American Idol Betting Odds: Season 6
The online gambling websites are in the process of deciphering each American Idol contestant and his or her chances of winning Season 6 to come up with the early American Idol betting lines.
Tim Dalton of MySportsbook.com has been locked away in a soundproof room coming up with all the latest tallies, we are told. "American Idol has become one of the most significant betting events of the year," claims Jack Black of MySportsbook.com. "Last year, millions were bet during the season across the globe, not just in America.
It's tough early on since we really do not have a glimpse as to how well each of these individuals will perform solo on a week-to-week basis. It's like Week 1 of the NFL. Pre-season means nada!
We do know the 24 finalists however.
Sanjaya Malakar is the young man whose sister failed to make it into the Top 24. He's very low key but - unless he totally flubs - will probably win over the young girlie vote for a few weeks anyway. He's too young to go all the way, according to Payton O'Brien.
Brandon Rogers - Who?
Phil Stacy is the military guy who missed his daughter's birth because of the Memphis audition. He should go a good distance.
Chris Sligh - He's got the humor and in many ways he's the Anti-American Idol much like last year's winner Taylor Hicks was. And this is why he'll probably get pretty far in this competition. He's chubby, white with a big curly afro....but more importantly, a great voice! People love "real", not "real cute" to go all the way.
"Blake Lewis should go far because of his uniqueness and looks. He's the boy next store with a twist - he beat boxes. But on top of this, he's a great singer, and I adore him," Payton O'Brien relayed.
A talented beat-boxer Blake Lewis was a hit during the group sing in Hollywood but Simon explained that this is a singing contest just before he told him he was “in.”
Paul Kim has caught our own roving reporter, Jenny Woo's eyes.
"I love the fact that there is a Korean American on the show and he is bound to get more Asians tuning into the show," Woo said from her Miami Beach estate. "There has never been a major presence of Asian-Americans on American Idol in the past. He's a hottie with a nice voice so that should help to take him far. Expect heavy betting action from the Asian community."
Sundance Head - He's not perfect, but he's got the personality that will take him through a few weeks, plus he's got the lineage (son of Roy Head - whose 1965 single, "Treat Her Right," hit No. 5 in the charts)
And the others:
Rudy Cardinas
AJ Tabaldo - the 5th time is the charm
Nicolas Pedro
Chris Richardson
Jared Cotter
The girls
"Melinda Doolittle has one of the best voices," says MySportsbook.com Reporter and an acclaimed dancer in her own right, Destiney Lewis. "It is great to see a back up singer step out like she has. The girl needs to gain more confidence but that can also be a positive. I think she will go far."
Alena Alexander - Those tears (she never seems to stop bawling) should get her far.
"Single mom Lakisha Jones I suspect will be a pretty big favorite entering Week 1 of the competition," says Destiny Williams. Jones is an excellent singer and down to earth. "She'll have a wide appeal," echoed O'Brien.
Nicole Trellis - Seems to exert confidence.
Amy Krebs - a powerful singer.
Antonella Barba
Gina Glocksen
Hailey Scanardo
Jordan Sparks
