NCAA Basketball Betting Lines

03/11/2010 - Los Angeles, CA (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Tajuan Porter exploded for 32 points to power the eighth-seeded Oregon Ducks to an 82-80 overtime victory over the ninth-seeded Washington State Cougars in the first round of the Pac-10 Conference Tournament.

E.J. Singler and Teondre Williams tallied 11 points apiece for Oregon (16-15), which will take on top-seeded California in Thursday's quarterfinal round.

Klay Thompson scored 20 points and Marcus Capers added 16 points in the loss for Washington State (16-15).

Oregon owned a 37-32 lead at intermission.

Porter, a senior, drove to the rim and missed a contested layup in the closing seconds of regulation. Fortunately for Oregon, Singler tipped the ball in at the buzzer to knot the score at 72-72 and force overtime.

In the extra session, Porter scored eight of his team's 10 points.

Porter's output tied the fourth-best single game scoring performance in the history of the Pac-10 Conference.

Washington State grabbed 19 offensive rebounds in the tilt, but 13 missed free throws clearly hurt the Cougars.

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)
