NCAA Basketball Betting Lines

03/29/2010 - Kansas City, MO (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - A'dia Mathies posted 21 points as she played a major role in Kentucky's 76-67 win over Nebraska in the semifinals of the Kansas City Regional at the Sprint Center.

Also scoring in double figures for the fourth-seeded Wildcats (28-7), a team playing in the regional semifinals for the first time since 1982, were Victoria Dunlap and Keyla Snowden with 18 and 13 points, respectively, the duo shaking off a combined nine turnovers along the way.

Leading the way for the top-seeded Cornhuskers (32-2) was Dominique Kelley with 22 points and Kelsey Griffin who registered a double-double with 15 points and 12 rebounds in the setback. Cory Montgomery chipped in 14 points and Lindsey Moore 10 in the losing effort.

A layup by Kelley to start the night's scoring represented the lone advantage for the Huskers who, despite shooting 60 percent from the field in the first half, trailed at the break by a score of 43-34.

In the second half Nebraska dropped all the way down to 38.7 percent from the floor, allowing the Wildcats to secure the nine-point decision.

Kentucky made up for 16 turnovers and just 6-of-12 shooting at the charity stripe by hitting on an even 50 percent from the floor and 8-of-16 beyond the arc on the night.

Nebraska, which won 30 straight games to begin 2009-10 and set a new school and Big 12 Conference record in the process, was part of the Sweet 16 for the first time ever.

Kentucky now advances to a regional final for the first time in school history on Tuesday night and will clash with an Oklahoma squad that defeated Notre Dame earlier Sunday, 77-72.

Matt Kenseth And Kevin Harvick Favorites To Take NASCAR Nextel Cup Championship

(September 15)—The NASCAR season has hit the homestretch with the opening event on this year’s Chase for the Cup taking place this weekend at the Sylvania 300 at New Hampshire International Speedway. With 10 races remaining to determine the Cup Series champion, leading online sportsbook MySportsbook.com today announced odds on all 10 Chase qualifying drivers capturing the NASCAR Sprint Cup Championship.

One of the largest sportsbook sites on the Internet, MySportsbook.com currently lists the top two drivers in the point standings as the early favorites to win the Nextel Cup. Entering the Chase for the Cup with a slim five-point lead in the point standings, 2003 NASCAR champ Matt Kenseth has been made a slight favorite to win his second Cup at 7/2 betting odds. 2001 Cup Rookie of the Year Kevin Harvick has betting odds listed at 5/2 and four-time NASCAR champion Jeff Gordon is listed at 6/1 to capture the Nextel Cup this year.

Hoping to follow in the footsteps of his legendary father who won six NASCAR titles, Dale Earnhardt Jr. stands at 8/1 to breakthrough with his first Cup victory. Staying with the family theme, MySportsbook.com lists 2005 Rookie of the Year Kyle Busch at 14/1 to succeed big brother Kurt’s 2004 NASCAR title. While Kasey Kahne was the final driver to qualify for the Chase with a third place finish last week, the oddsmakers give him a fighting chance at 10/1 mainly due to several mile-and-a-half tracks remaining on the schedule. Despite going winless on the NASCAR circuit this season, Jeff Burton enters the Chase at 5/1 to capture the Cup title. Meanwhile, rookie Denny Hamlin is 4/1 to win the championship, while veteran driver Mark Martin enters the Chase for the Cup as a 15/1 long shot to win his first NASCAR title in his 24th and final season.
