Illinois upends Lucas-less MSUNCAA Basketball Betting Lines02/07/2010 - Champaign, IL (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Demetri McCamey posted 22 points and 11 assists, as Illinois held on to upend fifth-ranked Michigan State, 78-73, at Assembly Hall. Mike Davis added 16 points for the Illini (16-8, 8-3 Big Ten) and got a piece of a potential game-tying three in the closing moments. D.J. Richardson provided 14 points as Illinois won its fourth consecutive game. Draymond Green had 17 points and 16 boards for the Spartans (19-5, 9-2), who were playing without leading scorer Kalin Lucas because of an ankle injury he suffered in Tuesday's loss at Wisconsin. Chris Allen added 15 points and Durrell Summers had 11 in the loss. In a tie game inside the final two minutes, Illinois took the lead on a layup by Brandon Paul with 1:19 to go, though Paul missed the subsequent free throw. After a turnover by each team, McCamey drained a three with 39 ticks left to boost the Illini lead to 73-68. Michigan State battled back, though. First Green was in the right place at the right time to tip in a ball, and after Richardson sank 1-of-2 at the line, Summers' three with 17 seconds left got the Spartans within 74-73. Richardson was then fouled and sank both attempts for a three-point game, but Summers had the ball with a chance to tie. However, Davis played tight defense and got a fingertip on the ball, which never made it to the rim. Davis then slammed at the other end to seal the win. The Illini jumped out to a 14-4 lead, but the Spartans followed with a run of their own, and Isaiah Dahlman's layup with 11:51 left in the half made it a 16-16 game. Illinois edged back out in front, though Austin Thornton's jumper at the buzzer got MSU within 35-34 at the break. The second half was back-and-forth, as each team held the lead. Raymar Morgan sank two free throws with 1:44 left to make it a 68-68 contest. Game Notes Michigan State leads the all-time series 54-53...Illinois has an 12-1 home mark this season...The Spartans have won five of the last six meetings with the Illini...Michigan State outrebounded Illinois 34-24.

Super Bowl XLIV OddsSuper Bowl XLIII isn't even a week old yet and oddsmakers have already released Super Bowl XLIV odds. Despite the Pittsburgh Steelers winning Super Bowl 43, the New England Patriots are 8/1 favorites to win Super Bowl 44. Bet Super Bowl XLIV Future Odds With their 27-23 victory over the Arizona Cardinals in Super Bowl XLIII, the Steelers became the latest NFL champion. But believe it or not, oddsmakers from online sports book MySportsbook.com don't have the Steelers the favorites to win Super Bowl XLIV next season. That honor belongs to the New England Patriots, who are 8/1 favorites to win despite not even qualify for the postseason in 2008. The Pats also have a major decision to make regarding what to do with Matt Cassel, who played well in Tom Brady's (knee surgery) absence last year but is also a free agent this offseason. Ironically, the Steelers aren't even oddsmakers second choice to win Super Bowl 44, as the Dallas Cowboys are listed right behind the Patriots at 9/1 despite not making the playoffs themselves. Clearly oddsmakers think the public will hop back on the Cowboys' bandwagon considering the immense talent they have and the opening of a brand new stadium. After Dallas, then comes Pittsburgh at 10/1, but they share those odds with the New York Giants, who won Super Bowl XLII. The Indianapolis Colts and San Diego Chargers round out the top six teams at 12/1, while the Baltimore Ravens (14/1), Tennessee Titans (16/1), Carolina Panthers (18/1) and Philadelphia Eagles (18/1) complete the top 10. The NFC Champion Arizona Cardinals got no love from oddsmakers as they were established as a 30/1 long shot to win next year's Super Bowl. They share those same odds with the Chicago Bears and Tampa Bay Buccaneers – two teams that didn't even qualify for the postseason. Other long shots are the Kansas City Chiefs (100/1), Detroit Lions (100/1), St. Louis Rams (75/1) and Oakland Raiders (75/1). To see a complete list of all the team's odds to win Super Bowl XLIV, check below.
