Kansas cruises past Baylor

NCAA Basketball Betting Lines

02/08/2012 - Waco, TX (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Jeff Withey scored a career-high 25 points as No. 7 Kansas rolled over sixth-ranked Baylor, 68-54, to take a share of first place in the Big 12.

The teams entered the game in a tie for second place with identical 8-2 conference records, but the Jayhawks (19-5, 9-2 Big 12) used Withey's career day and a stifling second-half defense to overtake the Bears.

The Jayhawks forced nine turnovers in the second half and held Baylor to 9- for-25 shooting to earn a tie with Missouri for the conference's top spot.

Tyshawn Taylor added 19 points and Thomas Robinson had 15 with 11 rebounds in Kansas' second win in three games.

Pierre Jackson paced Baylor (21-3, 8-3) with 16 points, while Quincy Acy and Cory Jefferson each added 11 as the Bears had their four-game win streak snapped. Acy added a team-high 10 rebounds in the loss.

Baylor opened a back-and-forth first half with a 7-0 spurt, but Kansas answered with seven straight points to tie the game.

Jefferson stopped the run with a jumper, sparking a 12-2 swing by the Bears to jump out to their largest lead of the game, 19-9.

A Robinson dunk followed by a Withey field goal closed the gap to six before Jackson's three-pointer stretched Baylor's lead back to 22-13.

Withey then scored the game's next four points to get within five of the Bears, and after Jefferson's jumper put Baylor up, 29-22, Withey notched five points and Conner Teahan sank two threes in an 11-1 run that put Kansas ahead 33-30 at the break.

The Jayhawks continued rolling in the second half, scoring 14 of the first 16 points to increase their lead to 47-32.

The game was never in doubt from there, as Kansas held a double-digit advantage for the remainder of the contest, leading by as much as 22 points and by no less than 12 en route to the victory.

Sportsbook betting odds favor Europe in Ryder Cup

September 19, – Despite holding a decided edge in the all-time series, with 24 wins, 2 ties and 10 losses, Team USA is the underdog again heading into the Ryder Cup in Kidare, Ireland this weekend, according to MySportsbook.com.  The Europeans have captured four of the past five editions, including their largest victory ever, an 18 ½ to 9 ½ thumping in Michigan in 2004. Current Ryder Cup betting odds favor the Europeans to continue their winning ways; they are a 4-5 bet to take the title, compared to 6-5 for the Americans. 

Despite being knocked out in the first round of World Match play by Shaun Micheel, Tiger Woods is predicted to lead the US charge and be their highest point scorer for the week, with odds listed at 9-4 that he outpoints all other American players, including Jim Furyk, Phil Mickelson and Chris DiMarco to  name a  few.  Team USA has four relatively unknown players on the roster but all four are 2007 tournament winners and have posted some of season’s best performances, each earning over $1.5 million on the PGA TOUR.  They include Zach Johnson, Vaughan Taylor, JJ Henry and Brett Wetterich.

The experienced European squad includes the likes of Luke Donald, Sergio Garcia, Padraig Harrington, Jose Maria Olazabal and Darren Clarke, who’s emotions will be tested after the passing of his wife to a battle with cancer.  Donald and Garcia are in particularly good form and each is a 5-1 bet to lead the European squad in the points race. Donald has proven he can go head to head with Woods at a major event after a run for the $1.2 million purse at the PGA Championship. Garcia’s Ryder Cup credentials prove he’s ready for battle too.
