Gophers put perfect record on line against Lions
NCAA Basketball Betting Lines
12/23/2008 -
Minneapolis, MN (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Off to their best start since the 1976-77
season, the undefeated Minnesota Golden Gophers put their brand new top-25
ranking on the line this evening, as they play host to the Southeastern
Louisiana Lions, from Williams Arena in Minneapolis.
In the top-25 for the first time since 2002, the 23rd-ranked Golden Gophers
have certainly enjoyed some home-cooking this season, as nine of their 10 wins
have come in the friendly confines of Williams Arena. The team will enjoy its
stay at home for a couple more weeks, as the Gophers won't hit the road again
until January 8th at Iowa. Tubby Smith's squad certainly showed that it
belongs in the national polls, coming off a thrilling 70-64 victory over
top-10 foe Louisville last weekend to move to 10-0 on the season.
The Lions have enjoyed a successful start to the season as well, sporting a
6-4 overall mark. Jim Yarbrough's team enters this contest with a modest two-
game winning streak, topping Millsaps College (85-56) and Jackson State
(70-51) in the last week.
This is just the second all-time meeting between these two teams. Minnesota
edged out SE Louisiana in their 2006 matchup, 63-61.
With a dominant performance from center Patrick Sullivan, the Lions cruised to
victory over Jackson State this past weekend. Sullivan recorded a double-
double with 18 points and 12 rebounds, while also blocking three shots. With
the effort defensively, Sullivan became the school's all-time shot-blocker,
with 134. Joining Sullivan offensively were Kevyn Green and Chris Cyprian, who
tallied 18 and 13 points, respectively. Warrell Span aided Sullivan on the
boards, with 10 caroms to go along with an eight-point effort. The Lions are a
dangerous offensive team, averaging 80.7 ppg thus far, thanks to a steady .494
shooting. Green is a big reason for the shooting acumen, as he is hitting 50.7
percent from the floor, including a sizzling .486 from behind the arc (36-
of-74). The result is a team-high 20.0 ppg. Span and Sullivan provide balance
with 12.0 and 11.9 ppg, respectively. Both get the job done on the boards as
well, with Sullivan pacing the team with 8.2 rpg, followed closely by Span
(7.3 rpg).
It was arguably the biggest win for Tubby Smith at Minnesota last weekend, as
Gophers were able to top a strong Louisville program in Glendale, Arizona.
Point guard Al Nolen was instrumental in the victory, as he notched 18 points,
thanks to 13-of-17 from the free-throw line, including 6-of-6 down the
stretch. The return of shooting guard Blake Hoffarber from injury was
critical, as he hit four three-pointers and netted 15 points off the bench.
Swingman Travis Busch was strong in relief as well, adding 13 points and six
rebounds. The defense did the rest, as Minnesota limited the explosive
Cardinals to just 37 percent shooting and a mere 64 points, 16 points below
Louisville's season average. The Gophers are not an offensive juggernaut by
any stretch, but the team does make the most of its trips down the floor,
averaging 73.5 ppg, on a healthy .473 shooting. The defensive pressure is what
fuels Minnesota, with opponents averaging a meager 61.2 ppg this year and
being held under 40 percent shooting overall (.381). Lawrence Westbrook is the
team's top offensive threat, averaging a modest 12.9 ppg. He is followed in
double digits by Damian Johnson (10.7ppg). Hoffarber and Nolan are flirting
with double figures at 9.9 and 9.2 ppg, respectively. Nolen has been superb as
a distributor, averaging 6.0 apg, while turning the ball over a measly 17
times over the first 10 games.

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.
