Wildcats and Bulldogs square off for SEC crown
NCAA Basketball Betting Lines
03/14/2010 -
Nashville, TN (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - The championship game of the SEC Tournament
pits the second-ranked Kentucky Wildcats against the Mississippi State Bulldogs, the top-seeded teams from the league's East and West Divisions,
respectively.
Mississippi State is the defending champion of this event, as it defeated
Tennessee by a 64-61 final in the 2009 title game, and the program has three
titles to its credit. The Bulldogs, who are 23-10 overall, opened play at this
event with a 75-69 decision over Florida in Friday's semifinal round.
Yesterday, the Bulldogs knocked off Vanderbilt by a 62-52 final.
As for the Wildcats, they have won this event 25 times and own a 113-22 record
in SEC Tournament games. Still, they haven't cut down the nets since 2004 and
haven't reached the title game since 2005. Kentucky barely got by Alabama in
the quarterfinals, but the team was impressive in a 74-45 romp over
nationally-ranked Tennessee on Saturday. The Wildcats are 31-2 overall and
figure to be a number one seed in the upcoming NCAA Tournament regardless of
today's outcome.
Kentucky beat Mississippi State by an 81-75 final in overtime during the
regular season, and the Wildcats own an 85-20 mark in the all-time series
between the teams.
The man to watch for Mississippi State is forward/center Jarvis Varnado, the
three-time defending SEC Defensive Player of the Year. Not only does Varnado
lead the Bulldogs with 13.4 ppg on 58.3 percent shooting from the floor, he is
also ripping down 10.4 rpg to go along with 158 blocks. Ravern Johnson is
close behind offensively with 13.3 ppg, and Dee Bost provides 12.7 ppg and 173
assists. Barry Stewart is the program's all-time leader in three-pointers
made and he is posting 11.8 ppg. MSU is generating 72.5 ppg, while
surrendering 64.2 ppg on 38.4 percent shooting. The Bulldogs played tremendous
defense against Vanderbilt yesterday, as they limited the Commodores to 34.6
percent shooting from the field. MSU committed just nine turnovers and got 14
points and eight rebounds. Varnado, Bost and Phil Turner all added 11 points
in the triumph.
Like Mississippi State, Kentucky has four double-digit scorers in the fold,
three of which are freshman. Star rookie John Wall was recently named the SEC
Player of the Year, and he is netting 16.9 ppg to go along with 6.3 apg.
DeMarcus Cousins, the SEC Freshman of the Year, provides 15.5 ppg and 10.2
rpg, and he is tops on the roster with 60 blocks. Veteran Patrick Patterson
checks in with 14.7 ppg and 7.4 rpg, while Eric Bledsoe is scoring 10.6 ppg.
The Wildcats are generating 79.4 ppg, while permitting just 65.0 ppg to
opponents on 38 percent shooting. Kentucky is outrebounding opponents by 8.3
rpg, key to the success. In the 29-point win over Tennessee yesterday, the
Wildcats played tremendously at the defensive end, limiting the Vols to 30.9
percent shooting, including 2-of-15 from three-point range. Kentucky, which
earned a 44-29 rebounding advantage, shot 52.1 percent from the floor and was
led by a 19-point, 15-rebound effort from Cousins.

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.
