Syracuse thumps Cincinnati on the roadNCAA Basketball Betting Lines02/07/2010 - Cincinnati, OH (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Andy Rautins had 20 points, as third-ranked Syracuse downed Cincinnati, 71-54, at Fifth Third Arena. Kris Joseph had 17 points, while Scoop Jardine and Arinze Onuaku each chipped in with 11 points for the Orange (23-1, 10-1 Big East), who have won 10 straight games. Ibrahima Thomas had 13 points and seven rebounds, while Yancy Gates added 11 points and five boards for the Bearcats (14-9, 5-6), who have dropped three of four. Early in the second half, six straight points from Syracuse allowed for a 38-32 lead on a Rick Jackson layup just under three minutes in. Cincinnati later came back with a 7-0 run to take a 49-43 lead on a Cashmere Wright three-ball with 12 1/2 minutes to play. The Orange then used a 10-1 burst to gain a 53-50 lead on a pair of free throws from Jardine with 8:40 left in the contest. After a Cincinnati bucket, Syracuse scored the next six points and held a 59-52 lead with 6 1/2 minutes to play on a Joseph layup. Two free throws from Thomas was followed by a layup from Rautins and a three- pointer off the hands of Joseph to give Syracuse a 10-point lead with 4:42 to play. That proved to break the back of Cincinnati as it didn't score a single point for the remainder of the game. The Bearcats held an 11-2 lead about five minutes in after Lance Stephenson put in a pair of free throws. The Orange, though, later scored 11 straight points and took a 17-15 lead on an Onuaku layup with a bit over eight minutes to play in the first half. From there the score stayed tight with neither side building a lead of more than four points, and Syracuse closed the half with a jumper from Joseph and a free throw from Jardine to take a 32-30 lead into the break.

Elite 8 NCAA Tournament Betting at online sportsbook MySportsbook.com In what should be an outstanding Saturday of March Madness betting action, the top four teams in the South and West Regions square off in what should be extremely close match-ups. Three of the four teams are coming off extremely close games on Thursday evening, only UCLA won semi comfortably over Pitt 64-55. Ohio State is coming off their second game in a row where in all reality they should have lost. Of course that doesn’t matter now since the name of the game is “survive and advance” but as the tournament continues, they can’t afford to keep getting down to their opponents early. Kansas also avoided a scare by holding off a scrappy Southern Illinois squad. In the third thrilling game of the evening Memphis pulled off the minor upset (+3.5) despite being the higher seed to Texas A&M. Although the spreads are fairly small for Saturday’s games, MySportsbook.com continue to bet against the underdogs. Despite OSU’s two scares, 86% of the “betting public” feels the Buckeyes (-1.5) have what it takes to make the Final Four. In fact, so much of the early money is on OSU that the line has already moved from -1 to -1.5. In the second game of the doubleheader, Kansas and their high-powered offense are 2 point favorites as they take on UCLA and their effective defense. About 63% of the early money thus far is once again backing the favorites. If those percentages stay that high, don’t be surprised if this line moves as well. If you like Kansas (-2) you might want to jump on it early. Memphis vs. Ohio State To bet on March Madness games this online sportsbook accepts credit cards El Duque expected to throw Tuesday PORT ST. LUCIE, Fla. -- New York Mets pitcher Orlando Hernandez, sidelined at spring training because of arthritis in his neck, is expected to resume throwing on Tuesday. Hernandez received a cortisone shot Thursday after leaving camp and returning to New York to have his neck examined. The 41-year-old right-hander is penciled in as the team's No. 2 starter behind Tom Glavine. El Duque's health is a major issue for the Mets, who won the NL East in 2007 and came within one victory of the World Series. Their aging and unsettled rotation is a big question mark this year. MySportsbook.com has the Mets as -110 favorites to repeat as NL East champions odds. Hernandez went 11-11 with a 4.66 ERA last season, including 9-7 with a 4.09 ERA in 20 starts after the Mets acquired him from Arizona in late May. But he missed the playoffs because of a torn calf muscle. New York already is without Pedro Martinez, out until at least midseason following rotator cuff surgery. Among those competing for starting jobs are prospects Mike Pelfrey, Philip Humber and Jason Vargas, plus veterans Chan Ho Park, Jorge Sosa and Aaron Sele. Notes: Mets manager Willie Randolph is excited about two new utility players he could have on his bench: Damion Easley and David Newhan. ''Their value is really all over the place,'' Randolph said. Easley can play anywhere in the infield and could be used as an emergency outfielder, though Randolph said he would prefer to keep the veteran in the infield. Newhan, meanwhile, can play second base, third or any outfield position for the Mets. ''I love versatility,'' Randolph said. ''I love guys that can give me options when I need them to step in.''
