NCAA Basketball Betting Lines
04/06/2010 -
Chicago, IL (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Oliver Purnell has decided to leave his post as
men's basketball coach at Clemson to take the vacancy at DePaul.
Purnell spent the past seven years at Clemson, posting a record of 139-88 with
three NCAA Tournament appearances. The Tigers were 22-11 this past season and
lost to Missouri in the first round of the NCAA tourney.
Clemson also made three trips to the NIT before reaching the NCAA Tournament
each of the last three years. All three NCAA visits ended in first-round
losses. The Tigers went to the NIT title game in 2007.
Before taking over at Clemson, Purnell spent nine years at Dayton, three
seasons at Old Dominion and three years at Radford. He's had a winning record
at each of his four schools and has an overall mark of 395-279.
Purnell took Old Dominion to the NCAA Tournament once and guided Dayton there
twice, but he has never won an NCAA Tournament game.
DePaul finished 8-23 this past season, including 1-17 in the Big East. Jerry
Wainwright was fired in January and Tracy Webster finished the campaign as the
interim coach.
The Blue Demons were 0-18 in conference play in 2008-09.

A nursing supervisor at the hospital said all questions about Lucky were being referred to the athletic department. The athletic department said there would be no further comment from the department or Lucky's family.
A Lincoln Police spokesman said officers responded to a call at Lucky's residence 11:30 p.m. Sunday. The spokesman said he didn't know Lucky's condition at the time he was taken to the hospital.

Albert Pujols to be This Year's Home Run Champ Says Online Sportsbook
Barry Bonds is a 50-1 long shot to be this year's home run champ odds. The favorite to be this year's home run champ is none other than Albert Pujols, however.
Now that Barry Bonds is signed and in Giants camp, it is on to his pursuit of all of sports most prestigious records: the all-time home run mark. Bonds sits just 21 homers shy of tying Hank Aaron for the career mark at 755. Word out of Giants’ camp is that Bonds is the healthiest he has been in a few years. Bonds is just two seasons removed from his injury riddled 2005 campaign where he played in only 14 games and hit only 5 home runs. He did come back last year and had a solid season hitting .270 with 26 bombs. All eyes will be on Bonds this spring and summer not only because of his home run chase but his highly publicized steroid abuse allegations. If and when Bonds breaks the record, he surely will not get the positive attention one should for breaking a record that was once thought of as “unbreakable”. Despite Bonds decent season last year, he is just 50-1 at MySportsbook.com to lead the MLB in long balls this season.
Not surprisingly, the favorites to go deep the most times this season are Albert Pujols 5-1, Ryan Howard 6-1, David Ortiz 8-1 and Alex Rodriguez 12-1. With 49 homers, Pujols finished second in the National League behind Howard (58). Pujols is considered the favorite due to the consistent power numbers that he has posted since breaking into the league in 2001. Also one must consider the fact that he played in 16 fewer games then Howard did due to an injury. Howard smashed 58 homers in his first complete season of big league play en route to the National League MVP odds award. He silenced his critics by successfully hitting left-handed pitching. Howard also displayed the ability to use his power to the opposite field. Two attributes which should keep Howard amongst the league leaders in long balls for years to come. From the American League representatives, David Ortiz leads the field. Ortiz was second in the majors last year with 54 home runs. Except for 1999 when he only played in 10 games, Ortiz has improved on his home run numbers each year he has been in the majors (1997).
