NCAA Basketball Betting Lines

01/28/2007 - Berkeley, CA (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Lodrick Stewart scored 21 points, but only three in the second half as the No. 25 Trojans squandered a 17-point lead, but held on for a 76-73 win over the rival California Golden Bears.

Nick Young scored 19 points and grabbed seven rebounds for USC (16-6, 6-3 Pac-10). Gabe Pruitt added 10 points for the Trojans, who have won three of four.

Ryan Anderson scored 19 points for Cal (12-9, 4-5). Omar Wilkes scored 14 for the Golden Bears, who have dropped three in a row. Jerome Randle added 12 points and seven assists for Cal.

Wilkes missed a long three at the buzzer, and USC survived in a game that it had all-but-locked up with 13 minutes left.

Trailing 53-36 after a Pruitt free throw with 13:11 left, the Golden Bears clamped down on defense and heated up from behind the arc. Cal outscored USC 35-18 over the next 11 minutes, finally tying the game at 71-71 on a Theo Robertson trey with 2:16 remaining.

Robertson had a chance to break the tie a minute later, but missed a pullup jumper with 1:06 left in the game. USC's Daniel Hackett hit two free throws to put the Trojans up 73-71. Cal tied the game at 73 on a Wilkes layup with 46.5 seconds left, but USC regained the lead, 75-73, after Hackett knifed through the defense for a layup with 16 ticks left.

Anderson missed a three from the top of the key with seven seconds left that would have put Cal on top, but Hackett missed one of his ensuing free throws, providing Cal with an opportunity to send the game to overtime with a three. Wilkes' desperation heave fell short, though, and USC survived.

The Trojans led 37-30 at the intermission.

Game Notes

Cal made only 2-of-7 from behind the arc in the first half, but sunk 7-of-15 in the second half...USC shot a sizzling 59 percent from the field, and made 9-of-13 from behind the arc.

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.
