NCAA Basketball Betting Lines
02/22/2007 -
Louisville, KY (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Terrence Williams' 16 points, four rebounds
and four assists led the way as 20th-ranked Louisville steamrolled St. John's,
72-48, at Freedom Hall.
Derrick Caracter posted 12 points for the Cardinals (20-8, 10-4 Big East),
winners in four straight. Brandon Jenkins added 10 points and four boards,
while Earl Clark contributed nine points and five rebounds for Louisville,
which played without forward Juan Palacios due to back spasms.

the Red Storm (15-13, 6-9), who have dropped three of four. Lamont Hamilton
added 12 and nine rebounds, and Qa'rraan Calhoun had eight rebounds in the
loss.
Louisville scored the game's first four points, then St. John's reeled off
12 of the next 16 to take a four-point lead with just under seven minutes
played. However, the home team caught fire and ripped off six points
in a 24-second span to go up 14-12.
After Hamilton put the Storm up 15-14 with a free throw, the Cardinals
embarked on a 22-5 run through the remainder of the half for a 36-20 advantage
at the break.
Mason's slam 5:47 into the second half brought the Red Storm within 44-30, but
they would get no closer as Louisville extended its lead to as much as 27
before coasting to the 24-point win.

percent (15-of-57) from the field, and Louisville hit for 49 percent (29-

Mayweather picked to beat De La Hoya
LAS VEGAS, NEVADA -- Golden Boy Oscar De La Hoya and his rival Floyd Mayweather Jr. arrived at the MGM Grand here Wednesday amid the pomp and pandemonium befitting two of the biggest stars in the sport who are about to duke it out for the WBC super welterweight crown this Saturday (Sunday in Manila).
As of Wednesday, MySportsbook.com closed its book with Mayweather a favorite to defeat De La Hoya at -170 (a $100 bet wins $70), while De La Hoya is a +140 underdog (a $100 bet wins $140).
Mayweather arrived at about 11:30 a.m. on a big truck with his face and a big "World's Best Pound-for-Pound" sign scribbled across the vehicle. He was accompanied by his entourage made up of rappers and his training team.
A crowd of close to 3,000 eager fans packed the MGM Grand lobby, with their cameras in tow, all trying to vie for position to get a good angle at Mayweather, who is acknowledged as the world's best fighter pound-for-pound.
Eric Gomez, Golden Boy Promotions vice-president, described the fan turnout as "amazing" and swore he had never seen anything quite like this event.
"The crowd was fantastic. Everybody was just too eager to see the two fighters," said ALA manager Michael Aldeguer, who was among those who waited at the lobby together with his ward Rey "Boom Boom" Bautista and AJ Banal.
De La Hoya made his own grand entrance at the hotel lobby at around 12:30 p.m. accompanied by GBP chief executive officer Richard Schaefer and trainer Freddie Roach.
The same group of fans who trooped to see Mayweather also lingered around to get a close look at De La Hoya, who has been secretly working out at a Las Vegas gym for days after arriving from his main training camp in Puerto Rico.
The golden boy then took part in a closed-door afternoon workout with Bautista and Banal. The two, along with Aldeguer and wife Christine, as well as an HBO crew were the only ones allowed inside the gym.
De La Hoya and Mayweather take part in today's final press conference before the official weigh-in this Friday.
Ring Magazine, the acknowledged bible of boxing, reported in its June 2007 issue that 12 out of 20 boxing experts it interviewed have favored Mayweather to defeat De la Hoya, with only 8 favoring the latter.
But Filipino ring icon Manny Pacquiao said in a recent interview with The Freeman's Emmanuel Villaruel that De La Hoya will win by unanimous decision over Mayweather.
