Interstate rivals meet in St. Louis, as Illinois battles Missouri
NCAA Basketball Betting Lines
12/23/2008 -
St. Louis, MO (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - The Scottrade Center in St. Louis is the
sight of the 28th Annual Busch Braggin' Rights game between the Illinois Fighting Illini and the 25th-ranked Missouri Tigers.
Illinois has won four straight games to improve to 10-1, and the only loss
thus far came by just two points against Clemson. The Illini crushed Detroit
on Saturday by an 82-51 final, and they did win their only true road game to
date over Vanderbilt. Illinois competes in the Big Ten Conference, and that
league appears to be up for grabs this season.
As for Missouri, a Big 12 team, it will face much better clubs during the
course of its league season. The Tigers have reason to be optimistic, however,
as they are 9-1 overall and have won seven straight decisions. They were most
recently in action on Saturday when they knocked off Stetson by a 78-44
margin, and their most impressive victory to date came over USC on a neutral
court.
Illinois owns a 26-12 all-time series lead over Missouri, including eight
straight victories over the Tigers.
Illinois has been a tremendous defensive team, as it is limiting opponents to
just 55.8 on 39.4 percent shooting from the field. At the offensive end of the
court, the Illini are posting 71.9 ppg on 48.6 percent shooting, including
39.1 percent from three-point range. Mike Davis leads the Illini with 13.0
ppg, and he is pulling down 8.2 rpg. Demetri McCamey provides 12.4 ppg to go
along with 53 assists, and Trent Meachem checks in with 10.9 ppg. Rounding out
a foursome of double-digit scorers is Mike Tisdale with his 10.4 ppg. In the
31-point romp over Detroit on Saturday, Tisdale and Meachem scored 15 points
apiece, as they combined to shoot 12-of-14 from the floor. Calvin Brock added
12 points off the bench for the Illini, who connected on 64.4 percent of their
field goal attempts, including 11-of-18 from three-point range. Defensively,
the squad forced 18 turnovers and permitted only 39.2 percent shooting from
the floor.
DeMarre Carroll is the leading scorer for Missouri, as he nets 17.6 ppg on
59.3 percent shooting from the floor to go with 7.3 rpg. Leo Lyons adds 16.2
ppg to the mix on 52.8 percent shooting, and he is pulling down 7.2 rpg. The
Tigers are generating 86.3 ppg while holding the opposition to 64.4 ppg on 39
percent shooting from the floor. In the romp over Stetson last time out,
Carroll led a balanced attack with 14 points. Matt Lawrence provided 12
points, and Justin Safford pitched in 10 off the bench. The Tigers connected
on 50.8 percent of their field goal attempts in the tilt and finished with 20
assists against only nine turnovers. A 48-37 rebounding advantage also helped
the cause. Defensively, Missouri limited Stetson to 27.1 percent field goal
efficiency.

MySportsbook.com: NFL draft - The NFC South
In part two of MySportsbook.com’s draft preview, we’ll take a look at a division that was extremely disappointing last season: the NFC South. Many “experts” predicted the Panthers to represent the NFC in the Super Bowl, of course they could not even make the playoffs in an extremely weak NFC. The Saints definitely made up for the disappointing seasons of their NFC South brethren by exploding out of no where en route to the NFC Championship game. For the avid NFL gambler, it is imperative to pay attention to the NFL draft. Although free agency gets a ton of publicity, the successful franchises build their teams around the draft.
1. New Orleans Saints
Who would have thought this time last year that the Saints would be the favorites to win the NFC South for the 2007 campaign? New Orleans is loaded with firepower on the offensive side of the ball but with the exodus of Joe Horn they will most likely look to draft a WR on Day 1. Despite having the NFL’s 3rd ranked pass defense last season, the Saints will most likely upgrade their CB’s with one of their first two picks. Other possibilities for the Saints will be TE and DT. Because of where they will be selecting (27th), the Saints could go the “best available player” route which could net a LB.
Key additions: Eric Johnson TE, Troy Evans LB, David Patten WR
Key loses: Joe Horn WR,
Team needs: CB, WR, TE, LB, DT
Possible draftees: Aaron Ross CB Texas, Darrelle Revis CB Pitt, Ted Ginn Jr. WR OSU, Paul Posluszny LB PSU, Chris Houston CB Arkansas, Greg Olsen TE Miami
2. Carolina Panthers
Carolina was one of the biggest disappointments in the NFL last season. With the signing of David Carr, expect the very first quarterback controversy to come out of Carolina if Jake Delhomme doesn’t rebound quickly from an average 2007 season. With veteran safety Mike Minter getting up there in age, they will look to draft a safety on Day 1 but probably not in the first round. LB is another need with the loss of Chris Draft to go along with Dan Morgan’s concussion problems. If TE Greg Olsen is still on the board, he might be too good to pass up despite their needs on the defensive side of the ball.
Key additions: David Carr QB
Key loses: Chris Draft LB
Team needs: LB, TE, S, OT
Possible draftees: Greg Olsen TE Miami, Patrick Willis LB Ole Miss, Paul Posluszny LB PSU, Levi Brown OT PSU
3. Atlanta Falcons
The Falcons were another NFC South team to have a disappointing 2007 season. The Falcons have been plenty busy during the off season with plenty of players coming and going including a new head coach. The Falcons were able to improve their draft position with the trade of coveted backup QB Matt Schaub. High on the list of Day 1 needs will be a defensive end to replace Patrick Kerney and a hard hitting safety since Lawyer Milloy is nearing the end of his career. With an additional 2nd round pick, the Falcons could attempt to trade up to acquire local product WR Calvin Johnson.
Key additions: Joey Harrington QB, Toniu Fonoti OG, Joe Horn WR
Key loses: Justin Griffen RB, Patrick Kerney DE, Matt Lehr OG, Ashley Lelie WR, Matt Schaub QB
Team needs: DE, S, OT, WR, DT
Possible draftees: LaRon Landry S LSU, Amobi Okoye DT Louisville, Levi Brown OT PSU, Jamaal Anderson DE Arkansas, Alan Branch DT Michigan
4. Tampa Bay Buccaneers
Age really caught up to the Bucs last season. The Bucs still have plenty of household names on defense in Ronde Barber, Simeon Rice and Derrick Brooks but the one thing those three have in common is unfortunately age. It is imperative for the Bucs to get much younger, especially on the defensive side of the ball. Despite having bigger needs on the defensive side of the ball, WR Calvin Johnson is the most likely pick if he is still available when the Bucs pick at the four spot. This would suit Bucs’ faithful just fine as Johnson is widely considered the top talent in the draft and it is a position of need for the Bucs.
Key additions: Jeff Garcia QB, Kevin Carter DE, Torrie Cox CB, Cato June LB
Key loses: Dewayne White DE, Sean Mahan OG
Team needs: WR, LB, DE, CB (Youth on defense!)
Possible draftees: Calvin Johnson WR Georgia Tech, Gains Adams DE Clemson, Jamaal Anderson DE Arkansas
