Old Dominion edges Notre Dame
NCAA Basketball Betting Lines
03/18/2010 -
New Orleans, LA (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Keyon Carter made two crucial free throws
with 9.6 seconds left in regulation, proving to be the difference as 11th-
seeded Old Dominion knocked off sixth-seeded Notre Dame, 51-50, in the first
round of the NCAA Tournament.
Carter finished with 11 points, while Frank Hassell carried the load with 15
points and nine rebounds for the Monarchs (27-8), who sat for nine days after
capturing the Colonial Athletic Association crown on March 8th.
Old Dominion, which captured its first tourney win since 1995, will move on in
the South Region and face either Baylor or Sam Houston State on Saturday.
Ben Hansbrough posted 17 points and Carleton Scott ended with 14 points and 10
rebounds for the Fighting Irish (23-12), who shot 31.3 percent in the second
half after leading by six at the break.
Following Carter's two free throws down the stretch, Scott missed a contested
three-pointer from the left wing. After Hansbrough missed the putback, Luke
Harangody's make at the buzzer was too little, too late for the Irish.
Harangody, who has been a shadow of his former self after suffering a knee
injury late in the year, went 2-for-9 from the field for four points in the
loss.
"We had some great looks over their zone that didn't go down," Notre Dame head
coach Mike Brey said. "If you're going to win, you've got to knock down a
couple and kind of get them out of that zone. We never really could do that,
and it put a lot of pressure on us."
The closely played contest was a one- or two-possession game for much of the
second half.
Hassell grabbed one of his four offensive rebounds and put in a layup while
being fouled with 5:51 remaining in the game.
His free throw tied it at 43-all, and both teams went silent until Darius
James drained a three with a little over two minutes left. Notre Dame, which
missed four attempts from behind the arc with the score tied up, answered on
the next trip down with Scott's make from the corner.
Gerald Lee's deep deuce with under 90 seconds to play broke the 46-46 score,
and after another Harangody miss, Lee made 1-of-2 from the foul line with 56.2
seconds to go.
A long Notre Dame possession ended in a Tory Jackson missed three from six
feet behind the arc, and James grabbed the rebound before missing the front
end of a 1-and-1 with 29.6 showing.
Harangody's first basket, a cleanup of Scott's errant putback with 12.6 on the
clock, made it a one-point game, leading to Carter's clutch free throws at the
other end.
"We made some free throws when we needed to and got some stops," Old Dominion
Head Coach Blaine Taylor said. "You know, [it was] St. Patrick's Day
yesterday, and I guess we have a St. Old Dominion's day today."
At the midway point of the first half, Jackson capped a 10-0 Irish run with a
three-pointer for a 15-6 cushion.
Notre Dame responded to seven straight Old Dominion points with an 8-2 spurt,
and went into the locker room with a 28-22 lead.
Scott opened the second half with a jumper from the foul line, but Notre Dame
went scoreless for the next six minutes. Ben Finney scored five quick points
on the subsequent 9-0 Monarchs run, as Carter's make from the left elbow gave
ODU a 31-30 lead.

since dropping Villanova in the first round in 1995...Notre Dame fell to 30-34
all-time in the tourney...Lee finished with nine points for ODU, which shot

“You play to win the game!”
Those are the words of notoriously intense head coach Herman Edwards. Unfortunately, from a bettors’ perspective, most coaches don’t feel that way about the NFL preseason. August is a time to evaluate young players, finalize the depth chart and pray your star players stay healthy.
The trick to making money during the exhibition schedule is identifying coaches – like Edwards – who can’t stand losing even when there's nothing on the line.
The New York Jets betting won 15 of 21 preseason games and went 14-7 against the spread (ATS) during Edwards’s five-year tenure with the club. In his first season as the Kansas City Chiefs field boss, the team improved from 0-4 to 2-2.
Identifying win-a-holics like Edwards is a good start if you plan betting the preseason – even though most say you shouldn’t ... but what the hell do they know anyway?
Here’s a brief rundown of two teams that have a habit of winning during the second-stringers’ season, and another club that has a good chance of exceeding this year.
New York Giants betting lines
Playing in the media hub of North America can be stressful but the press can’t write anything negative about the way Tom Coughlin’s boys play in the preseason. The Giants won and covered all four games last summer, improving their record to 7-1 both straight up (SU) and against the spread over the last two years.
Coughlin has shown he’s not afraid to give his starters more time in the second preseason game than most of his colleagues, no doubt one of the reasons his team has been so dominant.
Dallas Cowboys betting lines
Bettors can count on America’s team early on. The Cowboys are 14-6 both SU and ATS since 2002 in warm-up contests. Former coach Bill Parcells, the coach of the team the last four years, has an intimidating, in-your-face presence – surely a reason Dallas has had so much early success.
The Big Tuna won’t be strolling the sidelines with looks of disgust, but new coach Wade Phillips will be anxious to make a good first impression for owner Jerry Jones.
Dallas plays the Indianapolis Colts and the Denver Broncos before things get serious. They then face the Houston Texans in their third contest (the game starters see most game time) and finish off with the Minnesota Vikings.
Expect a Dallas team able to walk away with another 3-1 preseason record.
Oakland Raiders betting lines
This team scored a league-worst 12 offensive touchdowns last season, so the rookies and veterans each have something to prove. There’s a bounty of first-unit jobs up for grabs and plenty of bodies competing for those slots.
First-time head coach Lane Kiffin will be eager to impress an owner who employs the philosophy, “Just win, baby!”
The 32-year-old Kiffin has to command respect from a locker room full of players older than him. All of these factors should lead to purpose in preseason.
Don’t forget: before playing like a team that belonged in NFL Europe, Oakland went 4-1 (both SU and ATS) in exhibition games.
