Georgetown and Marquette meet in Big East semis
NCAA Basketball Betting Lines
03/12/2010 - New York, NY (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Two teams that shook up the Big East Tournament yesterday come together in the semifinals tonight, as the eighth- seeded and 22nd-ranked Georgetown Hoyas battle the fifth-seeded Marquette Golden Eagles at Madison Square Garden. The winner will advance to the finals against either Notre Dame or West Virginia on Saturday.
The Hoyas changed the complexion of the Big East Tournament, as they upended top-seeded and third-ranked Syracuse, 91-84, in the quarterfinals yesterday. With the outcome, Georgetown got some revenge for a pair of regular-season losses to the Orange, as it knocked off a No.1 seed in this event for the fifth time and first since 2000. The Hoyas, who topped ninth-seeded South Florida in the first round, are now onto the semifinals of the Big East Tournament the 20th time. Georgetown has reached the finals in two of the last three events, winning its record seventh crown in 2007.
As for the Eagles, they too made some noise in the quarterfinals yesterday, tallying an 80-76 victory over 10th-ranked and fourth-seeded Villanova. Marquette finally came out on top in a close one with Villanova after losing a pair of two-point decisions in the regular season. The Eagles, who survived St. John's in the first round, are now just one win away from their first Big East Tournament title game appearance, a remarkable feat for a team not expected to do much this season.
Marquette upset Georgetown, 62-59, back in early January, giving the Eagles a 5-4 edge in the all-time series.
The Hoyas used a decisive 22-4 run in the second half to come away with a 91-84 defeat of Syracuse yesterday. The Hoyas shot an efficient 57.9 percent from the floor for the game and scored 27 points off 17 Syracuse giveaways. Chris Wright poured in 27 points and dished out six assists to lead the charge, while Austin Freeman and Jason Clark tallied 18 and 17 points, respectively. Greg Monroe also got into the mix with an all-round effort of 15 points, 10 rebounds and seven helpers. For the season, Freeman tops the squad in scoring at 17.0 ppg, as he rebounded nicely from just an eight-point effort in the first round. Monroe, a first-team All-Big East choice, can do it all and he churns out 16.0 ppg, 9.5 rpg and 3.6 apg for the Hoyas. Wright tacks on 14.6 ppg and 4.1 apg, and Clark chips in with 10.7 ppg.
Darius Johnson-Odom poured in a career-high 24 points and dished out five assists to lift Marquette over Villanova yesterday. He finished the game 5- of-7 from long range for the Eagles, who went 11-of-18 from beyond the arc and 19-of-24 at the foul line. Lazar Hayward added his second straight 20-point performance to the mix, while David Cubillan had 17 points after scorching 11 in the first round. A second-team All-Big East selection, Hayward has practically done it all for the Eagles this season, leading them with 18.2 ppg, 7.8 rpg and 57 steals. Jimmy Butler, who tallied 14 points and eight rebounds yesterday, ranks second with 14.8 ppg and 6.5 rpg and Johnson-Odom follows at 13.1 ppg.

Brandon Roy Favorite to Win 2007 NBA Rookie of the Year
Portland TrailBlazer’s guard, Brandon Roy, is MySportsbook.com’s overwhelming favorite to win the NBA Rookie of the Year odds.
Despite missing 20 games due to an injury earlier this season, Roy has definitely put up the best numbers of his 1st year peers. In 32 games, Roy is averaging 15.3 PPG, 4.2 boards and 3.5 assists in over 33 minutes of play per game. While most rookies breakdown as the season progresses (see Morrison), Roy is only getting stronger as his playing time and scoring average has increased each month.
With 30 or so games left in the regular season, Roy isn’t a lock for the award by any means. Other rookies are putting together some pretty impressive campaigns and a few could give Roy a run for the award with increased playing time. Heading the list is first pick, Andrea Bargnani of the Toronto Raptors. Even though he has started only two games all season, Bargnani is averaging 10.3 PPPG while shooting 35% from deep.
Randy Foye of the Minnesota Timberwolves could be set to give Roy the best competition NBA Rookie of the Year betting lines. With the benching of Mike James, Foye looks like he could be the starter in the T-Wolves backcourt for the rest of the season. So far, Foye has averaged 9 PPG and 2.4 assists in just under 21 minutes per game. With his new role of starter, Foye’s numbers will definitely increase. In his first game as the new starting guard this past Sunday, Foye had 10 points; five rebounds and 8 assists. More importantly, he logged 34 minutes of playing time; his third highest run of the season.
Adam Morrison, of the Charlotte Bobcats, was the favorite early on in the season after averaging 15+ PPG through the first month of the season. Ever since his torrid start, Morrison’s point production has declined each month. This really isn’t surprising, considering at 6’8” he only weighs 205 lbs. Obviously he will need to hit the weights big time during the off-season in order to keep from breaking down in the future.
