UTEP cruises past UCF into C-USA semifinals
NCAA Basketball Betting Lines
03/12/2010 -
Tulsa, OK (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Jeremy Williams was a perfect 9-of-9 from the
free throw line in a 17-point effort, and 25th-ranked UTEP cruised to a 76-54
win over UCF in the quarterfinals in the Conference USA Tournament.
Randy Culpepper, Isaac Gordon and Claude Britten each added 10 points in the
win for the top-seeded Miners (25-5), who will face fifth-seeded Tulsa in a
Friday semifinal. UTEP is currently riding a 15-game win streak, not having
lost since January 13 at Houston.
Keith Clanton scored 12 points to pace the ninth-seeded Knights (15-17), whose
season ends with five losses in seven games. Isaac Sosa contributed with 10
points in the lopsided defeat.
UTEP wasted no time putting this game out of reach in the first half. Williams
had seven points during a game-opening 15-3 stretch, which ended with a pair
of Culpepper baskets 5 1/2 minutes into the contest.
The Miners had a stretch a bit later where they scored 13 of 18 points, and
another Culpepper layup had the margin at 30-14 with 7:20 until halftime.
To finish the period, UTEP scored nine straight points, culminating in yet
another Culpepper made shot. His jumper in the final minute sent the Miners
into halftime with a commanding 48-20 advantage.
Arnett Moultrie's basket early in the second half had UTEP's cushion at 31,
and the outcome was never in doubt the rest of the way.

Academy Award Betting Odds for Best Picture Offer Great Value
If there is any category that is not an obvious win for any one nominee in this year's Academy Awards, it would be for Best Picture. Sure the Departed is a 5/7 favorite, but that's hardly anything when we look at Helen Mirren and her "out-of-reach" 1 to 40 odds (which means you would win a whopping $1 for every $40 bet).
For value, take a look at MySportsbook.com Oscars betting odds on my personal favorite, The Queen - a remarkable 12 to 1 long shot. The film hasn't won any pre-awards for Best Picture (compared to The Departed and Little Miss Sunshine), but there is a tremendous following and it is a strong enough film to warrant a surprise win.
TV Guide advises Oscar watchers should be cautioned not to discount the drama "Babel" with its strong social themes about overcoming communication gaps among people of different cultures.
"While 'Babel' lost several guild awards to 'Sunshine' and 'Departed,' it still enjoys loyal support, and historically Oscar voters favor dramas with social messages over comedies like 'Sunshine' and violent crime movies like 'Departed'."
"It hasn't done well in the guilds, which means there isn't much industry support," said Tom O'Neil of awards site TheEnvelope.com, "But several critics are expecting it to win, and that gets my attention." Babel had 7 to 2 odds at press time.
Who is to say independently produced Little Miss Sunshine won't be this year's Crash. Last year, Crash won for Best Motion Picture, shocking those who bet on gay cowboy flick, Brokeback Mountain, as the favorite to win.
