03/19/2010 - Milwaukee, WI (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Gilbert Brown and Jermaine Dixon each finished with 17 points to lead Pittsburgh to an 89-66 rout of Oakland in the first round of the NCAA Tournament.
Nasir Robinson and Brad Wanamaker each had 13 points for the Panthers (25-8), who are seeded third in the West Region and will next face sixth-seeded Xavier. The Musketeers got past Minnesota, 65-54, earlier Friday in Milwaukee.
Keith Benson posted a game-high 28 points to go with nine rebounds for No. 14 seed Oakland (26-9), which was making its second NCAA Tournament appearance in school history. The Summit League-champion Golden Grizzlies also got 17 points from Ledrick Eackles, and were leading midway through the first half when starting forward Derick Nelson suffered a gash near his left eye.
The cut bled profusely, causing Nelson to leave the game for the rest of the period as Pitt took control. Nelson returned in the second half, but the Panthers didn't let Oakland back in the contest on the way to the win.
In a tight start to the contest, Oakland led 14-10 when Gary McGhee went up for a short shot in the lane. He was fouled on the play, but as he was landing, his elbow slammed into Nelson's face with 10:23 remaining. Nelson put his hand up, then lay down on the ground as blood flowed out covering his hand and dripping on the floor.
Trainers rushed out to treat Nelson, putting bandages on the cut. He eventually sat up, dazed, and walked off the court.
The Grizzlies continued to lead for the next several minutes, but the Panthers used a 19-2 run to take control. Brown capped the run with a layup with 3:33 left, putting Pitt ahead 32-20.
The Panthers went into the break with a 39-26 lead and continued to roll in the second half. Two Wanamaker foul shots with 15:23 left extended the advantage to 51-31, and Pittsburgh continued to make shots as it cruised to the finish.
Game Notes
Oakland's only other tourney appearance came in 2005, when the Grizzlies won the opening round game before losing to top-seeded North Carolina...2005 was also the last time Pitt lost a first-round tourney game. The Panthers, seeded ninth that year, dropped their tournament opener to Pacific...Pitt is making its school-record ninth consecutive NCAA Tournament appearance...The Panthers shot 53.6 percent while holding Oakland to 33.3 percent shooting...McGhee finished with 12 points and six rebounds.

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) |

New York, NY – October 3, 2007 – The dress rehearsal is over! The NHL preseason has ended and now that fans have had a glimpse of what is to come it is time to hit the book! Stanley Cup odds are live at MySportsbook.com, the world’s largest online sportsbook and casino.
The Ottawa Senators and Detroit Red Wings remain on top of the odds charts after an impressive start in the preseason. Betting lines opened for both teams at 6-1 in June. Since then the Sens have fallen to 7-1 and the Red Wings are now caught in a pack including the defending champion Carolina Hurricanes, the San Jose Sharks and the Anaheim Ducks, all at 10-1.
MySportsbook.com has also posted props on each team’s point total for the regular season. The Senators lead the charge at 108.5 followed by the Ducks at 106.5. Detroit will attempt a repeat for the prize as the Red Wings are deadlocked with the Predators at 104.5 a piece. The temporary loss of highly touted rookie Evgeni Malkin puts a lot of pressure on the stick of assistant captain Sidney Crosby - his lowly Pittsburgh Penguins are listed at 71.5.
Even if bettors are not brave enough to put their money on the underdog, an early bet on the favorites at sportsbook.com tends to produce bigger payouts than a mid-season wager. Placing a $1,000 bet last summer on the Detroit Red Wings or Ottawa Senators would have paid out to $8,000 and $10,000 respectively, opposed to a $2,500 or $3,000 payout at the beginning of the playoffs.
