NCAA Basketball Betting Lines
02/16/2010 - Norman, OK (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Tiffany Hayes had 20 points and top-ranked UConn survived a scare at the hands of 11th-ranked Oklahoma with a 76-60 decision to extend its winning streak to 65 games.
Tina Charles had 19 points and nine rebounds, Maya Moore donated 18 and 10 and Kalana Greene had 14 and six for the Huskies (26-0), who have won every game on their streak by double-digits.
Danielle Robinson had 18 points, five rebounds and five assists while Amanda Thompson added 16 points and 13 boards for the Sooners (18-7), who had won three straight coming into the contest.
A three by Carlee Roethlisberger, younger sister of Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback Ben Roethlisberger, followed by a jumper from Thompson gave Oklahoma its first lead of the game at 35-34 less than two minutes in.
The lead went back-and-forth for the next several minutes, but UConn built a four-point lead on a layup from Green and a three-ball from Moore for a 43-39 advantage with just over 15 minutes to play.
After Thompson put in a layup, the Huskies ripped off the next eight points with Moore's jumper making it a 51-41 game with 10 1/2 minutes left.
That run proved to be the back-breaker as the Huskies' lead stayed around double-digits to escape Oklahoma with the win.
The Huskies never trailed in the first half, but the Sooners tied the game early in the stanza and rallied from a 14-point deficit to keep it close.
After Green made it a 26-12 game with a layup, Oklahoma got the next six points to get back into the game.
UConn built its lead back to 10 on a Moore layup, but the Sooners scored the final eight points to make it a 32-30 game at the break.

Matt Kenseth And Kevin Harvick Favorites To Take NASCAR Nextel Cup Championship
(September 15)—The NASCAR season has hit the homestretch with the opening event on this year’s Chase for the Cup taking place this weekend at the Sylvania 300 at New Hampshire International Speedway. With 10 races remaining to determine the Cup Series champion, leading online sportsbook MySportsbook.com today announced odds on all 10 Chase qualifying drivers capturing the NASCAR Sprint Cup Championship.
One of the largest sportsbook sites on the Internet, MySportsbook.com currently lists the top two drivers in the point standings as the early favorites to win the Nextel Cup. Entering the Chase for the Cup with a slim five-point lead in the point standings, 2003 NASCAR champ Matt Kenseth has been made a slight favorite to win his second Cup at 7/2 betting odds. 2001 Cup Rookie of the Year Kevin Harvick has betting odds listed at 5/2 and four-time NASCAR champion Jeff Gordon is listed at 6/1 to capture the Nextel Cup this year.
Hoping to follow in the footsteps of his legendary father who won six NASCAR titles, Dale Earnhardt Jr. stands at 8/1 to breakthrough with his first Cup victory. Staying with the family theme, MySportsbook.com lists 2005 Rookie of the Year Kyle Busch at 14/1 to succeed big brother Kurt’s 2004 NASCAR title. While Kasey Kahne was the final driver to qualify for the Chase with a third place finish last week, the oddsmakers give him a fighting chance at 10/1 mainly due to several mile-and-a-half tracks remaining on the schedule. Despite going winless on the NASCAR circuit this season, Jeff Burton enters the Chase at 5/1 to capture the Cup title. Meanwhile, rookie Denny Hamlin is 4/1 to win the championship, while veteran driver Mark Martin enters the Chase for the Cup as a 15/1 long shot to win his first NASCAR title in his 24th and final season.
MySportsbook.com will offer comprehensive Nascar betting lines on every race remaining on the Nextel Cup series including driver match-ups, props and odds to win each race. For a complete list of NASCAR odds, please visit www.MySportsbook.com.
