Johnson carries Montana past Weber State for Big Sky title
NCAA Basketball Betting Lines
03/11/2010 -
Ogden, UT (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Anthony Johnson set a tournament record with 42
points and knocked down the game-winning jumper with 10.4 seconds left to cap
a furious second-half comeback, as Montana upended Weber State, 66-65, to
claim the Big Sky Conference tourney crown and a trip to the NCAA Tournament.
Johnson poured in 34 of those points in the second half to help erase a 20-
point halftime deficit and give Montana (22-9) its seventh tourney title and
eighth NCAA Tournament appearance. The senior was 13-of-22 from the field and
made all 14 of his foul shots.
Derek Selvig chipped in 12 points and seven rebounds for the Grizzlies.
Big Sky Player of the Year Damian Lillard had 16 points and five rebounds, but
was just 5-of-13 from the field. Franklin Session added 10 points for top-
seeded and tournament host Weber State (20-10), which was vying for its ninth
Big Sky Tournament crown.
The Grizzlies shot just 28 percent in the first half with its seven field
goals leading to a measly 20 points and a 40-20 deficit after 20 minutes.
However, thanks to Johnson, Montana sank a startling 69.6 percent of its shots
in the second half.
Weber State was still up 19 nearing five minutes into the second half after
Nick Hansen dropped in a layup, but Johnson hit from beyond the arc on the
other end to start the improbable comeback with the first points of a 13-3
run.
Selvig and Ryan Staudacher also struck from three-point range during the
stretch, which sliced the deficit to nine with 12 1/2 minutes remaining.
Lillard drained a three for the Wildcats to stem the tide, but Johnson was at
the head of another Montana run pouring in eight points during a 10-0 surge
that brought the lead down to 51-49 with close to nine minutes left.
A layup by Session and Trevor Morris' basket with 6 1/2 minutes to play gave
the Wildcats some breathing room at 60-52.
Johnson simply took over from there, scoring the final 14 Montana points. He
scored six straight to make it a one-possession game and hit a jumper to get
with 61-60 near four minutes remaining.
His jumper with 1:04 to go gave the Grizzlies their first lead at 64-63, but
Lillard answered with two free throws.
Montana had a chance to go back in front but Lillard came up with a huge steal
of Selvig that led to a trip to the line by Session with 28.1 seconds on the
clock.
Session, though, missed both attempts and Johnson pulled up for a short jumper
on the ensuing possession to put the Grizzlies up 66-65. Will Cherry then tied
up Lillard on a loose ball to force a possession change back to Montana to
seemingly end things with 2.6 seconds left.
Selvig missed a pair of free throws, though, to give Weber State life. But a
last-second heave fell well short.
Game Notes
The teams split their two regular-season meetings, with each winning on their
home floor. Weber State remains ahead in the all-time series with a 58-48
mark...The Wildcats shot 28 percent in the second half and 37.3 for the
game...The hosts got eight points each from Hansen, Lindsey Hughey and Darin
Mahoney.

Super Bowl 2009, the Arizona Cardinals and the Pittsburgh Steelers.
Let’s take a look at the Super Bowl 2009 betting odds and the betting line and figure out where they’ve been and where they are going to go.
MySportsbook.com put up the Super Bowl 2009 betting odds late on Sunday night with the Pittsburgh Steelers favored by 6.5 points and a total betting line at 47.5 points.
Since then, however, the Super Bowl 2009 betting odds have seen a good deal of movement and you’ll want to be on top of where they are likely to move to make sure you get the best line value for the big game.
Since opening, the Super Bowl 2009 betting lines went to Steelers -7 in the span of roughly 3 hours but were quickly bought back down just minutes later to 6.5 again.
After that is took about 5-6 more hours before the betting line went back to -7 where it has sat for a while now and is likely to remain. The opening betting total of 47.5 was bet down right after the line became available and went to 47 within minutes.
Roughly a day later it has been bet even further down to the 46.5 tally it currently is set at.
Roughly 60% of gamblers seem to be on the Cardinals here so the point spread will be bet down and a 7.5 would not last very long at all with many taking the early 6.5 in hopes of finding a potential middle in the Super Bowl 2009 betting odds.
If you like Arizona and see a 7.5, I’d take it as soon as possible because it’s unlikely to last. For Pittsburgh backers, the -7 might be the best you’ll be able to find but a 6.5 is definitely possible close to game time.
Regarding the Super Bowl 2009 betting odds for the total, most tracked gamblers are already on the over and with those who took the under 47.5 already securing a middle on the over 46.5, the only way I see it moving is back up to 47 so if you like the over, I’d recommend betting now.

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.
