Cowboys tangle with Wildcats in Big 12 quarterfinals
NCAA Basketball Betting Lines
03/11/2010 -
Kansas City, MO (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Quarterfinal action of the Big 12
Conference Tournament pits the ninth-ranked and second-seeded Kansas State Wildcats against the seventh-seeded Oklahoma State Cowboys.
Awaiting the winner of this tilt is a semifinal clash with either sixth-seeded
Texas or third-seeded Baylor.
Oklahoma State has captured the Big 12 Tournament title twice, and it has been
five years since its last championship. The Cowboys finished 21-9 overall
during the regular season, including 9-7 versus league opponents, and they
closed out the schedule with a 74-55 romp over Nebraska. They carried that
momentum into yesterday's first round matchup with Oklahoma, as the result was
an 81-67 victory.
Kansas State has never won the Big 12 Tournament and is 7-13 all-time in the
event. This year's group of Wildcats is a serious threat to capture the crown,
however, as the club enters the tournament with a 24-6 overall record,
including 11-5 in league action. On a down note, the final two regular-season
contests resulted in defeat, including a 17-point loss to in-state rival
Kansas and an overtime setback to a mediocre Iowa State squad at home.
The Cowboys beat K-State in Manhattan in a 73-69 final during the regular
season, but the Wildcats still own a 69-46 advantage in the all-time series.
Keiton Page poured in 24 points to lead Oklahoma State to the 14-point victory
over Oklahoma last night. Obi Muonelo tallied 15 points, eight rebounds and
seven assists for the Cowboys, while James Anderson, the Big 12 Player of the
Year, was limited to 11 points. Matt Pilgrim added 10 points for OSU, which
rolled to a 45-23 lead at intermission behind 19 first-half points from Page.
Despite a shaky defensive effort in the second half that permitted the Sooners
to shoot 60 percent from the floor, the Cowboys cruised to victory. The Pokes
shot 53.6 percent from the floor in the game and earned a 31-26 rebounding
advantage. Anderson is averaging 22.5 ppg for Oklahoma State, which is
generating 74.6 ppg while yielding 67.6 ppg.
The strength of the Kansas State team is its All-Big 12 Conference backcourt
duo of Jacob Pullen and Denis Clemente. Pullen is scoring 18.9 ppg this
season, and he has dished out 109 assists to go along with a club-best 49
steals. Clemente checks in with 16.0 ppg despite his shaky 39.1 percent
shooting from the floor, and he has handed out 118 assists. Jamar Samuels and
Curtis Kelly are both contributing 11.4 ppg, and Kelly is ripping down 6.3 rpg
to complement his 56 blocked shots. The standout frontcourt performer is
shooting 58.9 percent from the field, impressive by any standards. The
Wildcats are generating 79.9 ppg on 45.3 percent field goal efficiency, and
they are limiting opponents to 69.3 ppg on 41.8 percent shooting. A positive
rebounding differential of 5.2 rpg has helped the team to its outstanding win
total.

Mayweather picked to beat De La Hoya
LAS VEGAS, NEVADA -- Golden Boy Oscar De La Hoya and his rival Floyd Mayweather Jr. arrived at the MGM Grand here Wednesday amid the pomp and pandemonium befitting two of the biggest stars in the sport who are about to duke it out for the WBC super welterweight crown this Saturday (Sunday in Manila).
As of Wednesday, MySportsbook.com closed its book with Mayweather a favorite to defeat De La Hoya at -170 (a $100 bet wins $70), while De La Hoya is a +140 underdog (a $100 bet wins $140).
Mayweather arrived at about 11:30 a.m. on a big truck with his face and a big "World's Best Pound-for-Pound" sign scribbled across the vehicle. He was accompanied by his entourage made up of rappers and his training team.
A crowd of close to 3,000 eager fans packed the MGM Grand lobby, with their cameras in tow, all trying to vie for position to get a good angle at Mayweather, who is acknowledged as the world's best fighter pound-for-pound.
Eric Gomez, Golden Boy Promotions vice-president, described the fan turnout as "amazing" and swore he had never seen anything quite like this event.
"The crowd was fantastic. Everybody was just too eager to see the two fighters," said ALA manager Michael Aldeguer, who was among those who waited at the lobby together with his ward Rey "Boom Boom" Bautista and AJ Banal.
De La Hoya made his own grand entrance at the hotel lobby at around 12:30 p.m. accompanied by GBP chief executive officer Richard Schaefer and trainer Freddie Roach.
The same group of fans who trooped to see Mayweather also lingered around to get a close look at De La Hoya, who has been secretly working out at a Las Vegas gym for days after arriving from his main training camp in Puerto Rico.
The golden boy then took part in a closed-door afternoon workout with Bautista and Banal. The two, along with Aldeguer and wife Christine, as well as an HBO crew were the only ones allowed inside the gym.
De La Hoya and Mayweather take part in today's final press conference before the official weigh-in this Friday.
Ring Magazine, the acknowledged bible of boxing, reported in its June 2007 issue that 12 out of 20 boxing experts it interviewed have favored Mayweather to defeat De la Hoya, with only 8 favoring the latter.
But Filipino ring icon Manny Pacquiao said in a recent interview with The Freeman's Emmanuel Villaruel that De La Hoya will win by unanimous decision over Mayweather.
