Jazz take Hayward at No. 9 in NBA draft

Basketball Betting Lines

06/24/2010 -

SALT LAKE CITY (AP) -The Utah Jazz have selected Butler forward Gordon Hayward with the ninth overall pick in the NBA draft.

Hayward helped lead Butler on its run to the NCAA championship game this spring, which included a win in Salt Lake City that put the Bulldogs in the Final Four. He left for the NBA after only two seasons and averaged 15.5 points and 8.2 rebounds as a sophomore.

The pick got a mixed reaction when it was announced Thursday night at EngerySolutions Arena. There were some cheers but also a lot of boos for the Jazz's lottery pick choice.

The Jazz got the New York Knicks' pick through a trade with Phoenix in 2004.Copyright © 2005 The Associated Press. All rights reserved.

Super Bowl XLIII betting odds at online bookmaker MySportsbook.com have the Steelers listed as an early -6.5 against the spread favorite.Super Bowl XLIII Betting Odds

Pittsburgh earned their passage to the big game by beating their division rival, the Baltimore Ravens, 23-14 in yesterday's AFC Championship Game. The Steelers jumped on Baltimore early, building a 13-0 first half lead, and never let up on their way to a fairly easy win. Although the Ravens did close to within two points in the fourth quarter, it never appeared as if they had enough offense to pull off the upset.

The Steelers dominating defense held Baltimore to a total of 198 yards while allowing them to convert just three third downs in 13 attempts. Pittsburgh also forced quarterback Joe Flacco into three interceptions, one of which safety Troy Polamalu returned fourty yards for a touchdown.

The Cardinals, by far the playoff team with the longest odds to reach Super Bowl XLIII, did so yesterday with a 32-25 upset of the Philadelphia Eagles in the NFC Championship. Arizona charged out of the gates and built a 24-6 halftime lead that had the Eagles venerable defense reeling. Quarterback Kurt Warner and wide receiver Larry Fitzgerald did most of the damage, connecting on three first half touchdowns.

Arizona, however, could not sustain their momentum and the Eagles took a 25-24 with 10:45 left to play in the fourth. The Cardinals, with the franchise's first Super Bowl appearance hanging in the balance, mounted a fourteen play, 72 yard touchdown drive that consumed 7:52 off the clock. Warner hit running back Tim Hightower on a short screen for the go-ahead, game clinching score that will forever live in Cardinal infamy.
