NCAA Basketball Betting Lines
01/26/2007 - Seattle, WA (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Justin Dentmon scored 24 points and dished out six assists as Washington toppled seventh-ranked Oregon, 89-77, at Bank of America Arena.
Ryan Appleby donated 16 points while Spencer Hawes ended with 15 for the Huskies (12-7, 2-6 Pac-10), who snapped a three-game skid. Jon Brockman totaled 14 points and eight rebounds in victory.
Bryce Taylor paced his team with 19 points and Chamberlain Oguchi scored 15 for Oregon (18-2, 6-2), which had a five-game winning streak snapped. A win in this contest would have given Oregon its best start in team history.
Dentmon got 15 of his points before the break and also delved out four assists to help give Washington a 51-40 halftime edge. The big statistic over the first 20 minutes was points off turnovers, as the Huskies outdueled the Ducks 15-4 in that category.
Oregon, though, put up a fight in the second stanza. The road team came out of the locker room and netted the first seven points to pull within four.
The Ducks cut the deficit to two, 59-57, on a Tajuan Porter lay-in, then used back-to-back threes by Malik Hairston and Oguchi to claim a two-point lead with 14:25 on the clock.
Washington, though, broke off a 13-4 run in the latter stages of the half to claim an 83-73 advantage. Dentmon had five points in the spurt, including a jumper that pushed the lead to double-digits with about three minutes left.
Oregon never seriously threatened the rest of the way.

Dallas Cowboys Super Bowl Odds
Will he or won't he? Now that the Dallas Cowboys have a new head coach in Wade Phillips, the big question will be: Does Terrell Owens stay with the team.
Jerry Jones continues to suggest that Terrell Owens will remain with the team.
"I've said that he's back, he's here, he's under contract," Jones said. "In the interviews I've just been through (to hire a new coach), it was very clear to me how highly he's thought of and how much of an impact he had on our offensive success."
Just to be sure though, Terrell Owens cleared out his locker and removed his name plate.
Terrell Owens was among the Cowboys most productive players this past season, catching 85 passes for 1,180 yards and a league-best 13 touchdowns.
But T.O. is due a $3 million roster bonus in June, then a $5 million salary this season. Cutting him before then would save a lot of money and headaches.
Aside from the questions surrounding Terrell Owens, the oddsmakers at MySportsbook.com have concerns over starting quarterback Tony Romo's state of mind and whether he will remain a starting quarterback. It is also not known how players will adjust to new head coach, Wade Phillips.

MySportsbook.com Posts Heisman Trophy Odds
With 3,919 passing yards, 32 touchdowns and a mere seven interceptions last season, combined with a powerful South Bend Heisman legacy, odds makers at MySportsbook.com have given Notre Dame senior quarterback Brady Quinn the best Heisman Trophy odds at 5-2.
Quinn isn’t the only big man on campus this season. Oklahoma junior running back and 2004 Heisman runner-up Adrian Peterson, listed at 7-2, rushed for a combined 3,033 yards in his first two years as a college player and will give Quinn a run for his money.
This online sportsbook has also listed Troy Smith, Ohio State senior quarterback, as another strong favorite to win the 72nd Heisman Trophy. A 7-1 bet, Smith threw for 2,282 yards last season and also led the Buckeyes to a convincing 34-20 victory over Quinn and the Fighting Irish in last season’s Fiesta Bowl.
Current betting odds Heisman trophy are:
| Brady Quinn (QB, Notre Dame) Adrian Peterson (RB, Oklahoma) Troy Smith (QB, Ohio State) Michael Bush (RB, Louisville) Steve Slaton (RB, West Virginia) Brian Brohm (QB, Louisville) Chris Leak (QB, Florida) Mike Hart (RB, Michigan) Ted Ginn (WR, Ohio State) Darius Walker (RB, Notre Dame) Drew Tate (QB, Iowa) Marshawn Lynch (RB, Cal) Kenny Irons (RB, Auburn) Chad Henne (QB, Michigan) Kyle Wright (QB, Miami) Drew Stanton (QB, Michigan State) Kenneth Darby (RB, Alabama) JaMarcus Russell (QB, LSU) Drew Weatherford (QB, Florida State) Blake Mitchell (QB, South Carolina) Reggie Ball (QB, Georgia Tech) |
